The resource base of human activity

”All our activities are dependent ultimately on resources found in Nature. Whether it is consumption or production, or wheteher it is exchange, the commodities and services that are involved can be traced to constituents provided by Nature. Thus, the ingredients of a typical manufactured product are other manufactured products, labour time and skills, and resources found in Nature. Each of the constituent manufactured products is in turn a complex of yet other manufactured products, labour time and skills, and resources found in Nature. And so on. This means that the manufactured product with which we began is ultimately a combination of labour time and skills, and resources found in Nature.
But labour, too, is a produced good. Even raw labour is an output, manufactured by those resources that sustain life; resources such as the multitude of nutrients we consume, the air we breathe, and the water we drink. It follows that all commodities are traceable to natural resources”.
Sir Partha Dasgupta,Frank Ramsey Professor Emeritus of EconomicsUniversity of Cambridge
What can the idea of a ”circular economy” do for us?

Pros
• Externalities across global value chains• Joint externalities (energy, environmental resources, time, public health)• Huge potential for innovation
Cons • Economic limits to circularity?• Focus on resource flows, but what about capital stocks?
Roadmap for transition towards a ”circular economy” – the shift has alrady begun

From vision to practice – focus on significant material flows
17
The city of Copenhagen has has partnered with Project Mainstream to develop a ”Global Plastic Packaging Roadmap”
18
Plastic packaging is a 100 MT business which is…
19
• Prevalent, growing… and overwhelmingly linear• Performing a multi-dimensional role vital to the brand and
product• Subject to intensive innovation – on materials, formats and
recycling• Almost entirely single-use in the consumer space• High-volume, low-value, widely dispersed• Falling into municipal waste – which is highly fragmented• In a range of formats, some with no chance of effective
collection• Creating systemic post-use leakage, resulting in increasing
attention on issues such as ocean plastic waste• In close interaction with other value chains – energy and food• Optimised in a linear context, often with lightweighting and
incineration
GPPR well-positioned for a range of city-focused pilots – how can we work together?
