NO This 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.  This manufacturing revolution is essential for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, specifically Goal 12 – Sustainable Consumption and Production – as well as the Paris Agreement, given the contributions of such processes to climate goals. 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.
