Circularity extends beyond environmental benefits, embracing cost reduction and increased efficiency in the private and public sectors. It has the ability to fuel innovation, creating jobs and new industries. McKinsey’s 2015 estimate projected a €1.8 trillion economic benefit in Europe by 2030, with potential for 200,000 new jobs in the UK.
