Circular Economy in Practice: IEMA Online Resource - Launch of the Extended Resource Ownership model

Our webinar reviewed the new online tool: The Extended Resource Ownership (ERO) model, created by the IEMA Circular Economy Network steering group for circular economy practitioners to access a practical decision matrix to increase circularity of materials. The model originated from the UK Govt Office of Science policy report “From Waste to Resource Productivity” which was used as a basis for the Resources and Waste Strategy for England of 2018. During this webinar launch of the new online tool attendees gained: - An understanding of how the decision matrix operates as tested against the manufacturing sector; - An overview of the key process stages of the ERO model from sustainable design through to resource selection and recycling; - Practical recommendation from industry experts on the circular economy experts from Ricoh Products UK Ltd, WSP and Wood.
