Material Matters
Planet earth is a closed system with limited material resources, yet our current economic model is designed in a one-way direction from resource extraction to disposal, leading to resource depletion. It describes a system based on circular business models centred on selling performance rather than ownership, designing products and buildings as resource banks, and equipping products with a 'material passport' to ensure their usability for future generations. This book proposes a new economic model, offering an alternative to this linear 'take-make-waste' economy.Material Matters shows a way of creating a circular economy by using the unlimited resources we have: renewable energy, data and intelligence.
The book evokes the vision of a radically new economic model based Businesses thereby become custodians of materials, rather than consumers of materials and sellers of products.
