What is Circular Economy to the WREC?
Circular economy is a model of production and consumption which reduces material use and redesigns products and services to be less resource intensive. The circular economy model aims to maintain the value of products and materials for as long as possible by returning them into the value chain at the end of their use. This is done while minimizing the generation of waste, greenhouse gas emissions, pollution, and the negative impact on ecosystems.
ESSENTIAL GUIDES TO CIRCULAR ECONOMY
Waste Management and Recycling Infrastructure by Country: The map shows the waste management and recycling infrastructure by country as identified by humanitarian partners (see Assessment Guidance for info on filling out an assessment, Templates, and guidance on using LogIE). The objective is to support informed waste management decisions by the humanitarian community by providing information about available waste management and recycling infrastructure (see how to find Waste value solutions). To add information or to ask questions, please contact us.
Best Practices on Environmental Sustainability Across the Humanitarian Supply Chain: The map highlights environmental sustainability initiatives across the supply chain implemented by humanitarian partners in various countries. These initiatives aim to inspire and guide other humanitarian actors in adopting similar practices. To contribute information or mapping from your country, or for any inquiries, please contact us.
