It is predicted by the UN that all of the most critical virgin resources on planet earth will be used up by 2050 based on current rates of consumption and population growth. Is your country or your business future proof or do you rely on virgin materials to make your products?

In NI we are 92% reliant on virgin materials to support our linear economy. The majority of our materials are going to landfill as waste at the end of their use creating a significant and costly carbon footprint.

The Circular Economy represents an opportunity to reduce our carbon footprint in NI by 45% by 2050. By keeping resources in productive use for longer we can de-risk supply chains and help NI to reach Net Zero. There are many other benefits such as, reducing your costs, stimulating innovation, attracting investment and opening up new market opportunities. This is why it is predicted by the World Economic Forum that the circular economy will be the dominant economy by the 2030s.

Using our award winning digital platform SYNERGie® we can map resource flows and identify opportunities for resource matching and innovation across industries to accelerate the Circular Economy in NI.
