7 Decoupling economic growth from resource consumption Adapted from Ellen MacArthur Foundation, The Concept of a Circular Economy

8 Adopting circular economy principles could significantly enhance global construction industry productivity, saving at least US$100bn a year. World Economic Forum, 2016

9 CE100 Corporates Governments Cities Academic institutions Emerging innovators Affiliates 9 The Circular Economy 100

10 CE100 The 1.8 trillion opportunity revealed in the Foundation s latest report reaffirms the economic rationale of moving towards a circular economy. Realizing and capturing the benefits of this systemic transition requires a cross industry, cross performance, and multidisciplinary approach

11 Outline of a Circular Economy 11 Adapted from: Ellen MacArthur Foundation and McKinsey Center for Business and Environment; Adapted from Braungart & McDonough, Cradle to Cradle (C2C).

12 The ReSOLVE framework is a key output of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation s research. It outlines six actions to guide the transition towards a circular economy: Regenerate Share Optimise Loop Virtualise Exchange

13 Regenerate Regenerating and restoring natural capital Safeguarding, restoring and increasing the resilience of ecosystems Returning valuable biological nutrients safely to the biosphere 13 Regenerate Bussum Water Tower, the Netherlands: one of the most sustainable office buildings in the Netherlands, the building includes its own wastewater and sewage treatment facility Bird Eye View of the Water Tower creative commons

14 Maximizing asset utilization Pooling the usage of assets Reusing assets Share 14 Share Wikihouse is the world s first open source house that anyone can download, digitally manufacture and assemble for themselves in days, with no construction skills

15 Optimize Optimizing system performance Prolonging an asset s life Decreasing resource usage Implementing reverse logistics DHL s reverse logistics system uses the company s logistics feet to recover, track and redistribute waste and used materials 15 Optimize

16 Keeping products and materials in cycles, prioritizing inner loops Loop Remanufacturing and refurbishing products and components Recycling materials 16 Loop Caterpillar is a world leader in reducing, reusing, recycling and reclaiming materials Wikimedia Commons

17 Displacing resource use with virtual use Replacing physical products and services with virtual services Replacing physical with virtual locations Delivering services remotely Virtualize 17 Virtualize T. Park - BIM collates data from the sludge treatment facility to enable preventative maintenance and to allow for better-informed upgrades and modifications

18 Exchange Selecting resources and technology wisely Replacing with renewable energy and material sources Using alternative material inputs Replacing traditional solutions with advanced technology Philips provides lighting as a service to Amsterdam s Schiphol Airport on a lease basis 18 Exchange

19 19 Application of Circular Economy Principles to Commercial Property

20 More Examples and Case Studies

21 A lighting management system for public lighting Web applications to analyze, plan and maintain workflow management, monitor, manage and measure connected lighting Specific lighting components can be reused at the end of a use cycle Los Angeles, Buenos Aires, London and Rotterdam Philips CityTouch - Public Lighting Services Refurbishing, remanufacturing of components/machines In 2015: 75% of components consumed in the spares program were refurbished inventory 19% of servers Google deployed were remanufactured machines. Google Data Centers Products of Service (PoS) leasing model Moves away from selling elevators to the provision of vertical transport service coupled with maintenance contracts Through the help of IoT this business model allows for predictive maintenance and longer use cycle of the company s assets Delta Development - Park and Schiphol Trade Park A Tool Library opened in 2013 Inventory: 5000 tools Citizens borrow tools according annual membership fee options Can borrow all the items they need at no extra cost As well as all manner of nuts and bolts etc. Toronto Tool Library 21 Examples

22 As customers are trying to get the best economic life out of their machines, the best way to do that is to build the machines so they ll have multiple lives -Joe Allen, general manager and director of sustainable development for Caterpillar s Remanufacturing (Reman) Division

23 Caterpillar Product take-back program Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), where companies are responsible for the impact of their products throughout their life cycles Returning end-of-life components to same-as-new condition Goal for a zero landfill footprint by facilities around the world dedicated to remanufacturing products Considers the entire product lifecycle before the design phase even begins End-of-life return rate on a global basis is at 93 percent 23
