Circular economy and recycling The ultimate goal of the circular economy is to redesign our current system so that the products we make can be used again and again. In a circular economy system, recycling is the last resort but an important one for ensuring that valuable resources can be recaptured in the most efficient way. The latest research from our Resource London team shares insights on designing effective systems that better recapture resources from flats. People who live in flats recycle much less than those who live in houses. So, it is increasingly important to design effective resource management programmes that incorporate convenient and inclusive services for residents. Especially considering that over 20% of current housing stock in London are flats and the majority of new housing build will be high density properties. This episode delves into the research results which provide rich insight into factors that influence levels of recycling in purpose-built flats and how to effect changes. Visit the project page for the full report, and to explore additional resources including the toolkit and case studies.
