dc.descriptionThis report highlights processes that contribute to the Circular Economy shift by retaining the value of the products within the system, through the extension of their useful life. The report applies the value-retention processes to a series of products within three industrial sectors, so as to quantify the benefits relative to the original manufactured product. In this manner, the material requirement, the energy used, the waste, but also the costs and the generation of jobs are measured through first hand data from selected industries. It also highlights the different barriers faced in the implementation of the processes, including regulatory, market, technology and infrastructure barriers, and how they can be overcome by a collaborative approach and by changing the mind-set of policy makers, industries and consumers.en
