About the challenge:
Each year, 90 billion tonnes of primary materials are extracted and used globally, with only 9%
being recycled. With the Circular Economy model, we get to enjoy the benefits of safe
packaging without damaging the environment.
The Circular Economy has been identified as a major commercial opportunity and could
support the development of new industries and jobs, reducing emissions and increasing the
efficient use of natural resources.
