Implementation approach

WHY are we working on this?

• Ambition – what difference do we want to make?

HOW will we achieve it?

• Policy – what route do we choose to achieve the ambition?

• Policy goals – develop strategy and indicators of progress

WHAT we will do

• Operational – actions leading to delivery of policy goals in line with strategy

Circular business models

• Performance as a priority

• Choice - Dutch IMSA has identified 19 different alternatives to linear model

• Grouped into 6 themes:

– short cycle

– long cycle

– cascades

– pure cycles

– dematerialisation e.g. PSS

– on demand

• Restorative and regenerative models have major carbon & climate change benefits
