Chapter 8: Recycling—Closing the Loop for a Competitive Circular Economy

In this episode of the Circular Economy Excellence podcast, I explore Chapter 8 of my book, Circular Economy Opportunities and Pathways for Manufacturers –Manufacturing Renewed, focusing on the 6th R—Recycle. Often seen as the default sustainability strategy, recycling is actually the final step in a truly circular business model, ensuring materials stay in the production cycle rather thanbecoming waste.Join me as two AI-powered voices discuss: Resource harvesting—how manufacturers can efficiently collect and process end-of-life products for material recovery Circular sourcing—integrating recycled materials into manufacturing to reduce dependence on virgin resources Legislation and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR)—how policies are shaping the future of recycling Building customer trust—overcoming skepticism and positioning recycled materials as high-quality, valuable resourcesRecycling isn’t just about sustainability—it’s a business opportunity that can strengthen supply chain resilience, reduce costs, and enhance competitiveness.To learn more or get the book, visit circularpathwaysbook.com.
