Circular Economic principles will play a significant role in informing the policy we want to see for energy and climate in Tasmania.
fluxus will explore policy innovation and projects that incorporate circular economic principles.
Research by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation shows that 55 percent of GHG emissions can be mitigated by switching traditional energy sources to renewable energy. “The circular economy is a system where materials never become waste and nature is regenerated. In a circular economy, products and materials are kept in circulation through processes like maintenance, reuse, refurbishment, remanufacture, recycling, and composting. The circular economy tackles climate change and other global challenges, like biodiversity loss, waste, and pollution, by decoupling economic activity from the consumption of finite resources” https://www.ellenmacarthurfoundation.org
