Cos’è l’economia circolare?

Invece di eliminare le risorse dopo un solo ciclo di prodotto, le aziende stanno sviluppando modi per riacquisire e reintrodurre continuamente tali risorse sul mercato.

Prospettive e approfondimenti sull’economia circolare

Un’economia circolare va oltre il perseguimento della prevenzione e della riduzione dei rifiuti per ispirare l’innovazione tecnologica, organizzativa e sociale attraverso e all’interno delle catene del valore.

Prospettive

  • Un’economia circolare è un’economia riparativa e rigenerativa fin dalla progettazione: riguarda l’ottimizzazione della circolazione del valore, non la prevenzione della produzione di rifiuti
  • È un ciclo di sviluppo positivo continuo che preserva e migliora il capitale naturale, ottimizza la resa delle risorse e minimizza i rischi del sistema gestendo scorte limitate e flussi rinnovabili
  • Secondo un sondaggio condotto da Sitra, l’economia circolare rappresenta per la Finlandia un’opportunità da 1,5 a 2,5 miliardi di euro
  • La Finlandia è in una buona posizione per prosperare di fronte alla concorrenza globale grazie a fattori quali un elevato livello di istruzione, solide competenze tecnologiche e una solida reputazione come operatore di tecnologia pulita

Approfondimenti FORFIRM

  • Un recente studio BIO by FORFIRM per la Commissione Europea identifica:

    Materie prioritarie: prodotti e rifiuti agricoli, legno e carta, plastica, metalli e fosforo

    Settori prioritari: imballaggi, prodotti alimentari, apparecchiature elettriche ed elettroniche, trasporti, mobili, edilizia e costruzioni

  • Tra i fattori chiave vi sono l’aumento dei costi dei materiali, il cambiamento dei valori sociali, i benefici ambientali, la sicurezza dell’approvvigionamento, il recupero del valore e la legislazione
  • Tra gli ostacoli principali figurano il cambiamento tecnologico, il consumismo, i costi per il recupero e la gestione della logistica inversa e la mancanza di competenza
