Did you know?
- The circular economy is all about using less, using longer, reusing and producing cleanly.
- Every year, people around the world create enough trash to fill over 800,000 Olympic-sized swimming pools!
- Today, only 7.2% of the global economy is considered circular—meaning materials are reused, recycled, or repurposed.
- But the circular economy has the potential to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions by 39% by 2030.
- Adopting circular practices could create around 700,000 new jobs in the European Union alone by 2030.
- By managing our plastic waste better in Canada, we could create 42,000 new jobs by 2030 and reduce 1.8 million tonnes of carbon pollution.
