INTRODUCTION
In the 18th century, the UK began the Industrial Revolution. Starting a new, global, ‘Industrial Experiment’.
By the 19th century, burning fossil fuels had become normal. In the 20th century, industry deployed a whole new type of materials called Plastics. And humans went into space. Where we saw our planet as a closed loop system, for the first real time.
In the 21st century, we’ve learnt that a lot of what we do is just not sustainable. So it’s time to learn from our mistakes, and develop a way for industry to work in harmony with natural systems.
A Circular Economy aims to achieve that.
