US Chamber Foundation issues report on the value of circular economy for business
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation Corporate Citizenship Center, Washington, has issued a new report that details the value businesses can find in viewing waste as a resource and engaging in the circular economy.
The report, titled “Trash to Treasure: Changing Waste Streams to Profit Streams,” examines the weight and impact of waste on American business. Businesses that understand, measure and manage their waste and take actions to eliminate, reduce or reuse that waste can open up new revenue streams, optimize operations and lead to innovation, the report concludes.
Jennifer Gerholdt, director of environmental initiatives for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation Corporate Citizenship Center, says, “As companies confront the realities of today’s economic environment, it’s easy to overlook the value and the potential for growth that lies in ordinary, everyday waste. Our ‘Trash to Treasure’ research illustrates the business case for the circular economy, encouraging all enterprises to follow the lead of several businesses already putting this regenerative, restorative way of thinking to work.”
