This document discusses the concepts of circular economy. It covers three key aspects: innovation, symbiosis/interdependence, and governance. For innovation, it notes circular economy requires redesigning systems and processes with a focus on performance and reuse over ownership. For symbiosis, it emphasizes learning from nature's nutrient cycles and cooperation over competition. For governance, it proposes "condition steering" through goals, incentives, and facilitating new economic models rather than command-and-control laws.

1. Circular Economy
-governance-

3. Circular Economy
Ellen MacArthur Foundation

4. The eco-task that is in our hands, is realizing products, cities,
lifestyles, that are designed with attention for the impact on the
environment and a minimal influence on:
energy
food
waste
heating
air quality
CO2
methane
&
water quality

5. attached people, devoted life-styles

6. not my piece of cake
there must be a different ‘brand’
....circular....

7. three steps
circular =
thinking in circles, loops
(can we learn?)
innovation
governance

8. symbiosis

9. a few basic principles:
symbiosis
entropy
interdependence

10. entropy

interdependence

12. some lessons
learning ‘by’ nature

13. Who’s the smart guy
in resourcemanagement?

14. ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Photosynthesis in plants creates energy from sunlight
they absorb almost 100% of the sunlight reaching them

15. So, can we learn ‘by’ nature?
turbulent water resistant

16. abundancy & circular

17. circular (nutrients)

18. patterns
abundancy
energy from the sun
nutrients forever
entropy
symbiosis
diversity

19. So, Cradle to Cradle?
C2C is on quality
CE is on economics

20. Innovation
Circular is a new game
with new rules
some newby’s
it is about change

21. Systems re-design
innovation Proces re-think
Technical re-create
realisation vison/policy
organisation
level

22. systems innovations
Lineair economy
(from cradle to grave)
re-design
Circular economy
(from cradle to cradle)

23. proces innovations
Competition
becomes
Cooperation
(symbiosis)

24. proces/systems innovation
forget ownership

26. proces/systems innovation
product or performance?
ownership or use?
value:
performance including service
an example.......

27. A building is a materials bank.

28. I don’t buy lamps, I buy light. And you?

29. PERFORMANCE BASED INTERIOR
C2C CERTIFIED PRODUCTS

30. circular economy
performance
product service
production
technical performance
nutrients cycle usage cyle

31. Governance
Laws, Regulations, Taxes?
or
steering on conditions?

33. Condition Steering
take care of growing
new instruments or mindset?

34. Condition Steering
set clear goals on:
resources
energy
performance

35. Condition Steering
tax reduction on
innovation
services
design for disassembly

36. Condition Steering
public purchasing
focus on performance
(changes innovationdrive / responsability)

37. Condition Steering
facilitate
the Energetic Society

38. Condition Steering
create
level playing field
(no hidden subsidies)

39. Condition Steering
forbidding
natural resources for energy
(= waste to waste becomes urban mining)

40. Condition Steering
investments
new financial options
garantuee funds for risks

41. Governance
steering on conditions
* is a creative proces
* is a systemsinnovation
needs:
ideas, guts and perseverance

42. the ducks
be a duck

44. Governance
Ellen steers
Learn from her performance
no (institutional) power, no ego
clear goals, daily routing

45. asking
ask the right question
and
"You can't tell me that it can't be done."
(Ray Anderson, InterfaceFlor)
