Incineration
• Aim: obliteration of waste
• Waste recovery at a modest
level
• Expensive long-term
solutions
Circular economy
• Closed cycle
• Reuse and remanufacture
• Repair
• From consumption to utilization
• New technologies and service
models
Recycling
• Sorting at the source
• Priority order/waste hierarchy
• Producer liability
• Gradual elimination of landfills
Landfills
• Preventing the hygienic
threat
• Recovery and safe burial
of waste

Prevention
Preparing
for re-use
Recycling
Other recovery
Disposal
Using less material in design and manufacture.
Keeping products for longer, re-use.
Using less hazardous material.
Checking, cleaning, repairing, refurbishing
whole items or spare parts.
Turning waste into a new substance or product.
Includes composting.
Including anaerobic digestion, incineration with energy
recovery, gasification and pyrolysis which produce energy
and materials from waste; some backfilling operations.
Landfill and incineration without energy recovery.

6. PRODUCER RESPONSIBILITY PROVIDES A
GOOD FOUNDATION FOR THE DEVELOPMENT
OF CIRCULAR ECONOMY
In product design, reuse
throughout the product’s life cycle
must be taken into account
Renting and leasing models
encourage the design of more
durable products
Voluntary producers responsibility
schemes are growing
Shift from regulations towards
consumer driven demand

10. CONCLUSIONS
© Lassila & Tikanoja Oyj
Businesses are capable of changing their operations towards sustainable
economy, actually the transition to circular economy is already underway
Circular economy is a positive opportunity for Europe
- We can ensure self-sufficiency in energy and raw-materials
- Technology and service solutions are a major employment and investment opportunity
Circular economy will be achieved in a society which recycles
- Regulation is needed to ensure resource-efficiency on all levels (recycling targets, ecodesign,
support and reinforcement of recycled raw-material markets)
To achieve effective recovery of recycled raw-materials we need to strengthen the
producer’s role in the value chain–and to diminish that of the state.
Market needs a stable and predictable operating environment (regulation) and a
well-functioning marketplace based on market economy and consumers’ freedom
to choose.
