Linear Economy
RESOURCES MANUFACTURING CONSUMPTION WASTE
A circular economy is an economic system aimed at eliminating wasteand the continual use of resources.

- Staff
- Public opinion
- Government
- Client
- Economics
Pressure is mounting
No matter how irrational some arguments are, we need to respond
Design out Waste and Pollution
Did you know that waste and pollution are largelya result of the way we design things?
DSM-Niage
Design principle:
- Keep it simple
- Clean material only
- Use reversible connections
Redesigning bulky products from scratch
DESIGN OUT WASTE AND POLLUTION
“35 million mattresses are
disposed in Europe per year.”
What if we could not only protect, butactively improve the environment?
Regenerate natural systems
Omni Processor
- Initiative sponsored by the Gates
Foundation
- Removes disease-spreading pathogens
- A "self-sustaining bioenergy" process
- Key to wastewater management in Africa
Processing fecal sludge
REGENERATE NATURAL
100,000 86k L/day 250 kW

What if we could build an economy that uses things, rather than uses them up?
- About 60 years of steel “left”
- Triple E vessel:- 165,000t dwt (98% steel)- 400m x 59m- 18,000 containers- 50% less CO2
- Passport to identify all parts- Enabling recycling/reuse of most
material & safe disposal of others
Maersk The recyclable ship
