The document discusses strategies for promoting more resource efficient consumption in Sweden. It notes that Sweden's environmental quality objectives are not expected to be met by 2020 and that greenhouse gas emissions per capita need to be reduced. Three paths are highlighted to make consumers more resource efficient: 1) minimizing food waste, 2) increasing product lifespan through repair and maintenance, and 3) collaborative consumption through sharing, exchanging, and borrowing products. Specific proposals include expanding education on reducing food waste, investigating economic incentives for repair over new purchases, and supporting new business models around collaborative consumption.

Circular economy policies mainly target waste management, but these is much that scientific research and innovation can offer. Product design, including appropriate use of feedstocks and combinations of materials massively helps reduce waste and maintain the value of materials.
7 February 2018. Brussels. Infopoint Lunchtime conference. The circular economy is a high priority of the EU. It is now also gaining traction with the international development community, and there is growing optimism about the potential of the circular economy as a new model for sustainable growth in developing countries.

Life cycle based assessment for agricultural productsAn Austrian best practiceMartin Wildenberg
This paper presents the GLOBAL 2000 adaptive sustainability assessment approach, with which the environmental performance of agricultural products is measured. The aim of the approach is to arrive at a comprehensive understanding of the environmental impacts of an agricultural products and the connected life cycle. Furthermore, it strives to set incentives for farmers to adopt a more sustainable production mode and to help consumers make deliberative consumption choices, by informing them about the environmental impacts of products along the life cycle.

The Swedish Initiative on Food Waste & Losses by Ulrika Francke, Swedish Boar...SIANI
Presented as part of the Side Event at CFS 41: "Collaboration-Led Waste Reduction: From Producer to Consumer".
In Sweden, Government policy supporting collaborations intended to reduce food waste and production losses has been a great success. In part, due to the specific policy for Global Development (PGD) which supports the creation of platforms for knowledge exchange and multi-sectoral collaboration. This side event will present a number of examples of this policy-led collaboration from the Swedish context relating to the reduction of food waste and production losses throughout the whole food chain, on a global scale.

The Footprint Forum discusses the issues and the ways that the supply chain can work together on best practice guidelines.

about resource efficient consumers:
1. Minimise waste in the food chain
2. Increase product life span through repair and
maintenance
3. Collaborative consumtion
2015-04-09Naturvårdsverket | Swedish Environmental Protection Agency 10
(Report to be published before summer)
11. 1. Minimise waste in the food chain
• High and rising level of consumtion (households)
• Limited application of steering instruments
• Proposal: Extend and expand on-going
Government commission (i.e. information
campaign)
2015-04-09Naturvårdsverket | Swedish Environmental Protection Agency 11
12. 2. Increase product life span through
repair and maintenance
• Product life spans are decreasing
• Environmental costs are not internalised
• Proposal: Investigate use of economic steering
instruments in order to change the relation in
price between repairing and buying new products.
2015-04-09Naturvårdsverket | Swedish Environmental Protection Agency 12
13. 3. Collaborative consumtion –
exchanging, sharing, and borrowing from
each other
• Primarily products that are seldom used, expensive
and/or high-maintenance (such as vehicles, tools,
household appliances)
• New field for public agencies
• Proposal: Investigate application of taxes, changes in
legislation, supporting business => new business
models
