FRAMEWORK FOR SMART EVOLUTION

Fostering the Circular Economy - The circular economy
is a $4.5 trillion opportunity. It presents huge potential
for global economic growth and will also accelerate
society towards a sustainable future
TradeChain is changing how materials are maintained and reused In a more novel approach, intelligent assets are now increasingly being deployed to
address the sources of waste and resource inefficiencies at several stages across an asset’s use cycle. TradeChain allows knowing the location of
building components as well as their condition gives asset owners unprecedented monitoring capabilities, enabling both new business and financial
models. TradeChain Fosters models to enable extended use cycles of buildings as well as improved potential to loop or cascade building components
and materials in new use cycles at the end of the infrastructure components use
The concept of the circular economy isn’t widely understood by business. Mobilizing this
opportunity will remain a challenge until many more business leaders adopt a “circular
mindset.”
This is the biggest opportunity to transform production and consumption since the First
Industrial Revolution 250 years ago. By unleashing circular innovation, we can boost the
global economy’s resilience, support people and communities around the world and
help fulfill the Paris Agreement and the UN Sustainable Development Goals

TradeChain - Fostering the Circular Economy
Key #2 - Preserve and extend what´s already made: While resources are in-use, maintain, repair and upgrade them to maximize their lifetime and give them a second
life through take back strategies when applicable. A core principle of acting within a circular economy is to preserve complexity: preservation of ecological diversity is
a core source of resilience for the planet. Material and energetic losses are tolerated for the sake of preservation of biodiversity; it is a much higher priority. Habitats,
especially rare habitats, are not encroached upon or structurally damaged through human activities
Key #3 - Use waste as a resource: Utilize waste streams as a source of secondary resources and recover waste for reuse and recycling. A priority is placed on
preserving material complexity, by cascading materials in their most complex form for as long as possible. Material cycles are designed to be of lengths that are
relevant on a human timescale, appropriate to the natural cycles to which they’re connected, matched to material scarcity and as geographically short as possible.
Materials are not mixed in ways such that they no longer can be separated and purely recovered, unless they can continue to cycle infinitely at high value in their
mixed form. Materials are used only when necessary
Key #4 Rethink the Business Model: Consider opportunities to create greater value and align incentives through business models that build on the interaction between
products and services. Towards a Circular Economy. rethinking value chains to boost resource productivity. Recently, the circular economy has attracted a lot of
attention from a broad audience ranging from policy makers, scientist, NGO’s and – often large – companies. It’s impact on finance however, has attracted less
attention. We hope to correct this as finance can be a major enabler of the transition towards a circular economy
Key #1 - Prioritise regenerative resources: Ensure renewable, reusable, non-toxic resources are utilized as
materials and energy in an efficient way. The argument is that the planet is the global ecosystem, source
of the resources necessary for society and at the same time dumping of all the waste caused by
economic activity. As the planet is finite, the global ecosystem obviously has limits both as a source of
resources and regenerative capacity, and as a capacity for assimilation. As the economic system has
evolved exponentially, it is currently too large in relation to the global ecosystem ... (Bifani, 1997, p.125)

TradeChain - Fostering the Circular Economy
Key #6 - Design for the future: Account for the systems perspective during the design process, to use the right materials, to design for appropriate lifetime and to design
for extended future use. Product design is the engine with which we can accelerate the transition towards a circular economy. Creating innovative products and
exploring new ways to deliver services is a means for which circular design can come to life. Designers are the change agents for circular business within their
organizations and play a key role in making the circular economy, a priority in future strategies
Key #7 - Collaborate to create joint value: Work together throughout the supply chain, internally within organizations and with the public sector to increase
transparency and create joint value. Join forces across value chains in forums, engage with other companies and stakeholders to remove barriers and work on
solutions that will create growth while reducing impact. Achieving a circular transformation requires teamwork across functional areas (i.e. R&D, procurement, supply
chain, manufacturing and marketing).
Key #5 - Incorporate Digital Technology: Track and optimise resource use and strengthen connections
between supply chain actors through digital, online platforms and technologies that provide insights. The
economic system is inherently adaptable and resilient. The economic system has governance systems,
incentives and mechanisms in place that allow it to respond to systemic shocks and crises. This refers to the
distribution of power, the structure of information networks and ensuring that back-ups exist in the case of
failure of parts of the system. The same principles of resilience apply on small as well as large scales

• Around the world, waste generation rates are rising. In 2016, the worlds’ cities generated 2.01 billion tonnes of
solid waste, amounting to a footprint of 0.74 kilograms per person per day. With rapid population growth and
urbanization, annual waste generation is expected to increase by 70% from 2016 levels to 3.40 billion tonnes in
2050.
• Compared to those in developed nations, residents in developing countries, especially the urban poor, are more
severely impacted by unsustainably managed waste. In low-income countries, over 90% of waste is often
disposed in unregulated dumps or openly burned. These practices create serious health, safety, and
environmental consequences. Poorly managed waste serves as a breeding ground for disease vectors,
contributes to global climate change through methane generation, and even promotes urban violence.
• Managing waste properly is essential for building sustainable and livable cities, but it remains a challenge for
many developing countries and cities. Effective waste management is expensive, often comprising 20%–50% of
municipal budgets. Operating this essential municipal service requires integrated systems that are efficient,
sustainable, and socially supported.

TRADECHAIN. -A Networked Plants of Waste Management Facilities
§ The Municipal solid waste (MSW) management facilities aims to handle health, environment, aesthetic, land-use
resources, and economic concerns related to improper disposal of waste. Population, urbanization growth and
the rise of standards of living have all dramatically accelerated the MSW generation in developing countries.
§ The current municipal solid waste management approach in many countries is simple: collect and dispose off by
dumping it in open landfill sites. This Strategy is over and won’t be any longer an acceptable solution.
§ Most of the landfills are mature and are expected to reach their capacities within a few years. Allowance
conditions to extend Landfilling capacity will become substantially tougher. The substantial quantity generated
by MSW and the high energy contents of its composition demonstrate the significant potential of WTE facilities in
Vietnam

Already today many countries intend to develop their national integrated waste
management strategy based on the 3Rs concept (as an integrated element of a circular
economy) in the order of “reduce, reuse and recycle”:
1 Reducing:
First priority in waste management must be an overall reduction of solid waste quantities, e.g. food
waste, packaging, unnecessary waste of raw materials and energy during production processes.
Reducingwaste also reduces the cost of waste collection andtreatment.
2. Re-using:
Second priority should be given to the reuse of materials, i.e. a discarded product is cleaned and
repaired to beusedagain.
3. Recycling:
The third priority in the 3Rs concept is to recycle materials, i.e. to collect waste and to transform it
into a secondary raw material. Recycling of e.g. plastic or paper can normally save more energy in
the production of products than the energy that can be produced in waste-to-energy plants
from these materials.
The different WtE technologies have different roles within the circular economy; these are
indicated in Figure 2. Even with intensive recycling, there is always remaining waste which has
no material or market value and is in some cases classified as hazardous. This residual waste
with a certain calorific value can be utilised to recover energy and substitute the use of fossil
fuels. A thermal treatment such as incineration or co-processing that is compliant with
environmental emissions standards can also play a role in destroying toxic organic substances
and removing them from the circular material flow. Some valuable materials like metals may
also be further recovered

This chapter gives an overview of five WtE technologies at the municipal scale (see Figure 4): incineration,
co- processing, anaerobic digestion (AD), landfill gas (LFG) and pyrolysis/gasification (further also called
alternative technologies). While the general principles of the last two chapters apply, these five
technologies have different functions and applications in the municipal waste management system.
The order of the technologies is based upon the perceived demand for advice on these technologies
and does not imply any priority or applicability.
For each technology, some technical background information is given followed by a listing of the
suitable waste types and a summary of related operational, environmental, legal and financial
matters. The reader should gain a basic understanding of which technology fits which waste stream
best and the ecological, legal and financial implications.
