Circular Products and Materials
Introduction
The Products & Materials pathway is about “things”: the goods people use to fulfill their needs and aspirations, and the assets and materials businesses need to operate and grow.
It spans the entire product life cycle, from extraction and processing of raw materials to product manufacturing, distribution and sale, to end-of-life processing and recovery.
In this pathway, we help companies optimize resource use to meet society’s needs while allowing the systems that provide resources to regenerate.
