11 Reduce, Reuse, Recycle Lesson Ideas for Every Subject

You can give “reduce, reuse, recycle” a whole new meaning by incorporating this concept into many subject areas. Many of these hands-on project ideas can be adapted for any grade level.

1. Observe how organic and inorganic materials decompose

Subjects: Science, language arts

It’s important to teach students why they should reduce, reuse, recycle. A hands-on activity that shows how different kinds of materials decompose will help bring the concept to life.

As a class, choose a few different kinds of organic and inorganic materials to observe. Have students predict how long it will take for each item to decompose and keep a journal of their observations ( here’s one example ). Younger students can make drawings of the materials and older students can write more detailed descriptions of what they observe.

The goal of this lesson is to show that only the organic material decomposes quickly – inorganic materials will sit around in landfills for a long time. Fortunately, many of these materials are easy to recycle.

2. Start a composting project

Composting is one way to reuse organic material that may otherwise may end up in a landfill.

This project can be done on a small scale inside the classroom or on school grounds, or you can make it an integral part of how your school works . Use this hands-on project as a way to introduce concepts about how organic materials decompose. This is another journaling opportunity for students as they observe how your compost project changes over time.

3. Make your own paper

Subject: Art

One of the best ways to understand how recycling works is to do it yourself! Making your own paper using scraps requires a few materials and preparation for this activity to run smoothly in the classroom. You can use a guide like this one for step-by-step instructions , or this free activity  Make Your Own Paper from Project Learning Tree’s PreK-8 Environmental Education Activity Guide.   Watch a video of the paper-making process used in this activity.

4. Calculate your impact

Subject: Math

We all want to feel like we’re contributing to something bigger than ourselves and that we’re making a difference. If we reduce our consumption, it’s helpful to know what kind of impact it can make. Here are some questions and ideas to consider:

• Calculate how much trash they generate in a day, week, month, and year.
• Calculate how much trash their family, the school, their city or town, and their state generates per year.
• What are some ways they could reduce their CO2 emissions? Calculate how much it would reduce their emissions if their family used public transportation to go to school and work, used energy-efficient lightbulbs in their house, switched to a vegetarian or vegan diet, etc.
• If they reduced their CO2 emissions by 1/3, how much would CO2 would they produce? How much CO2 would they save?

For younger students, you can put together age-appropriate word problems. These estimates of CO2 emissions and this information about how much trash Americans produce can provide some numbers to start with.  For older students, it could be a project of its own by having them conduct research on the different scenarios you propose.

5. Home energy audit

Subjects: Math, science with an engineering component

Have students make a list of all the appliances and light bulbs in their house. How much energy does their house use if all the lights are on for 4 hours per day? If their appliances are on for 2 hours per day? How much energy could they save if they switched to energy-efficient appliances or lightbulbs?

For younger students, you can provide estimates of how much energy household appliances use to simplify the project. For older students, you may want to show them how to use a watt meter so they can measure their own energy use.

For more energy-saving ideas and instruction, see PLT’s Energy Investigation and our Save Energy At Home list of questions for students and their families.

6. Local business energy audit

You can take your home energy audit project to the community level by researching energy use of a local business. Find out how much trash they generate and/or how many appliances they use daily. Are there any opportunities for them to reduce their trash or CO2 emissions? If so, how many trees could they save or how much trash or CO2 emissions could be reduced? For a simpler project, provide estimates of how much trash they produce or CO2 emissions they generate for a few local businesses. Older students can call or visit a local business to do an energy audit by gathering their own information.

7. Write proposals to companies and lawmakers

Subjects: Language arts, civics

Many times when we talk about reduce, reuse, recycle, it’s focused on individual actions. We encourage students to practice this at home with their family. However, the biggest contributor to climate change is industrial activities – not “human” activities like using your wash machine or turning on your stove. By connecting with local businesses or lawmakers, they could potentially make a bigger impact on reducing CO2 emissions. For example, this second-grader convinced fast food chains to use more recycled paper products .

Have students find a local business or lawmaker they’d like to influence. Have them write a letter asking them to take an action to reduce their CO2 emissions such as using more recycled materials, composting their organic waste, or supporting a law that will protect local forests. Help students think about who would be the best person to receive the letter, which action they want the business or lawmaker to take and reasons why that action is important.

For younger students, you may want to choose one business or lawmaker to write to as a class. Older students may be able to do their own research on a company or lawmaker they would like to influence. In addition to writing a letter, older students could also craft a short speech on the topic and present it to the class.

8. Interview family members

Subjects: Language arts, with an optional art and/or technology component

Parents and grandparents may have different experiences with reducing, reusing, and recycling than your students. A lot of things can change over the span of just a generation or two!

Have your students interview older family members. Here are some questions to consider:

• Were they taught about reducing, reusing, and recycling when they were younger?
• If they recycle, why do they do it? Where did they learn to recycle? If they don’t, why not?
• How do they reduce, reuse, and recycle at their workplace? If they don’t practice this at work, what are some ideas they might have to reduce, reuse, or recycle things at work?
• Have they seen people reduce, reuse, and recycle more or less over the course of their lifetime? Why?
• How do they reduce or reuse things around the house? How did their parents or grandparents reduce or reuse things around the house?
• Do they know how to repair furniture, electronics, clothing, or anything else around the house? If so, how did they learn how to do this? Why do they do it – for fun, to save money, because they care about the environment, or for some other reason?

Older students can also come up with their own questions. You could incorporate a technology component and have them put a PowerPoint together with information they gathered from their interviews.

You could take this project a step further and have students put together a timeline of their own experiences, along with those of their parents and grandparents. Students could include important points in history related to the stories on their timeline. For example, let’s say their parents or grandparents talk about when plastic bags started becoming popular at grocery stores during the interview. The student could research when plastic bags started being used, and when they started being banned in some states and put those dates on the timeline.

9. Use recycled materials in art projects

Subjects: Art

Recycled materials can make beautiful art projects such as jewelry, planters, and bird houses. Incorporating materials that would otherwise be thrown away into art projects can show your students how to find new uses for these items.

Check out this Pinterest board for some ideas to get started.

10. Life cycle analysis

Subjects: Science, with an optional technology component

One way to show students what happens when you put something in the trash versus recycling or reusing the object is to do a life cycle analysis. This is a flow chart that shows the environmental impacts of an object, from extracting the raw materials to decomposition and everything in between. When something is put in the trash instead of being reused or recycled, the life cycle assessment will show a bigger environmental impact. When something is reused or recycled, the environmental impact is less because raw materials don’t need to be extracted to create something new.

With younger students, you may want to review a very simple life cycle analysis as a class. Older students may be able to do their own research on how materials are extracted, manufactured, distributed, and disposed. You could incorporate a technology component by having them create a flow chart of their life cycle analysis.

You may want to start with this Tree Life Cycle activity , which could segue into the life cycle analysis of paper products.

11. Research project

Subjects: History, social studies, with an optional technology component

Older students can conduct a research project and present their findings in a paper or presentation. You can incorporate a technology component by having students prepare their presentation in Prezi or PowerPoint. Here are some ideas:

• Research an organization that help the community reduce, reuse, or recycle in some way. What services do they provide? How do they help reduce our environmental impact?
• What are some ways we can repair or reuse items instead of throwing them away?
• What are some important moments in history related to reducing, reusing, and recycling? For example, laws, practices, or inventions.
• How do other countries around the world reduce, reuse, or recycle?

50 Fun Earth Day Crafts and Activities Using Upcycled Materials

Save the earth, make art.

Earth Day is fast approaching (April 22), though there really is never a bad time to celebrate Mother Earth. It’s important to teach students the environmental benefits of recycling, like conserving energy and natural resources and reducing air and water pollution, all year long. While recycling breaks down old items in order to create something new, upcyling makes something new from an existing object in its current state. Challenge your students to create something unique and wonderful from preexisting items like magazines, plastic water bottles, tin cans, egg cartons, and more. Check out our list of the best recycled crafts for Earth Day or any day, and give some of them a try!

1. Make wildflower seed bombs

Give back to Mother Earth with these easy-to-make seed bombs. Blend together used scraps of construction paper, water, and wildflower seeds in a food processor, then form them into tiny muffins.

31 Creative Art Projects Using Recycled Materials: Eco-Friendly Creations for Artists

In a world increasingly conscious of its carbon footprint, the realm of art has not been left behind. Embracing the mantra of reduce, reuse, and recycle , innovative artists and DIY enthusiasts alike are turning what many would consider trash into stunning, thought-provoking masterpieces. From discarded plastic bottles to old magazines, the materials once destined for landfills are finding new life on the canvases of the eco-conscious .

This fusion of sustainability and creativity not only challenges our perception of waste but also opens up a limitless playground for artistic expression. Whether you’re a seasoned artist seeking inspiration or a beginner keen on eco-friendly art projects, using recycled materials offers a unique way to marry your environmental ethos with your creative aspirations.

Let’s delve into the transformative world of art projects using recycled materials , where trash truly becomes treasure.

Crafting sculptures from discarded plastic bottles is a strikingly creative way to give new life to everyday waste. Artists and hobbyists alike transform these seemingly mundane objects into intricate and thought-provoking pieces, reflecting on both the fragility and resilience of the environment. This innovative approach not only showcases artistic talent but also underscores a powerful message of sustainability and reusability.

The versatility of plastic bottles opens up a realm of possibilities, from elaborate animal figures that seem to leap into life to abstract installations that challenge our perceptions.

Each sculpture, with its unique form and composition, serves as a testament to the artist’s imagination and skill, as well as a compelling call to action to reconsider our relationship with single-use plastics.

Through these creations, the discarded becomes the extraordinary, inspiring both awe and a deeper reflection on the impact of our consumption habits.

2. Upcycled Mosaic Tabletop Projects

Transforming broken ceramic pieces into mosaic tabletops offers an eco-friendly twist to home decor. Rather than discarding chipped plates and mugs, you can give them a second life. This project turns waste into an artistic statement, showcasing creativity while highlighting the importance of recycling.

The process is engaging and straightforward, ideal for both beginners and seasoned crafters. By arranging the ceramic pieces in unique patterns or designs, each tabletop becomes a personalized artwork. Not only is this approach beneficial for the environment, but it also adds a touch of handcrafted charm to any living space, making it a conversation starter at gatherings.

3. Key Wind Chime Art Project

Wind chimes have a way of bringing a tranquil melody to any garden or porch, but imagine the charm when they’re crafted from old keys. Each key, having once unlocked doors and secrets, now dances in the wind, creating a unique, melodious harmony. This project not only recycles but also preserves tiny pieces of history, making the music all the more special.

Creating wind chimes from old keys is a fantastic way to add a personal touch to your outdoor or indoor spaces. You can paint the keys in vibrant colors or leave them as they are for a rustic look. Strung together with sturdy string or fishing line, these keys transform into a visual and auditory piece of art, embodying sustainability and creativity.

4. Recycled Magazine Collage Art

Collage art using magazine clippings breathes new life into the glossy pages of the past, transforming them into vibrant, textured masterpieces. By creatively repurposing these materials, artists highlight the beauty in recycling, crafting pieces that evoke emotion and tell stories through juxtaposition and layering.

This art form not only contributes to environmental conservation by reducing waste but also offers a low-cost entry point for budding artists. The versatility of magazine clippings—ranging in color, texture, and imagery—allows for boundless experimentation. Each collage becomes a unique exploration of composition and meaning, making the ordinary extraordinary.

5. Tire planters for eco-gardens

Breathing new life into discarded tires, gardeners and DIY enthusiasts are discovering the wonders of upcycling these robust materials into charming planters. Not only do they offer a unique aesthetic appeal, blending industrial vibes with natural greenery, but they also contribute significantly to reducing landfill waste. It’s an inspiring example of creativity meeting sustainability.

The versatility of tire planters is truly remarkable. From vibrant, painted flower pots to intricate hanging gardens, these eco-friendly creations can be customized to fit any garden theme. What’s more, their durability makes them perfect for both indoor and outdoor settings, ensuring your plants have a stylish home come rain or shine. It’s a testament to how imagination can transform the ordinary into something extraordinary.

6. Textile Scrap Wall Hangings

Finding beauty in waste, wall hangings woven from textile scraps embody a unique fusion of sustainability and artistry. These vibrant creations turn unwanted fabric remnants into stunning visual pieces, telling stories of transformation. Each hanging is a patchwork of history, repurposing the old to breathe life into new, tactile art.

This eco-conscious approach not only gives discarded textiles a second life but also challenges us to rethink our consumption patterns. By integrating sustainability with creativity, these wall hangings offer a dual delight: beautifying spaces and advocating for environmental responsibility. It’s an inspiring reminder that art can be a powerful vehicle for change, one scrap at a time.

7. E-Waste Jewelry Artistry

Creating jewelry from electronic waste not only gives a new lease of life to components that would otherwise clutter landfills but also weaves a narrative of sustainability and innovation.

Designers are transforming old circuit boards, wires, and connectors into striking necklaces, earrings, and bracelets. This practice champions the ethos of upcycling, turning discarded tech parts into wearable art.

8. Reclaimed Wood Picture Frames

Reclaimed wood brings a touch of rustic charm and warmth into any living space, making it an excellent material for custom picture frames. Not only do these frames preserve memories, but they also tell a story through their unique textures and markings, each piece bearing its history and character.

Crafting picture frames from recycled wood is both an eco-friendly choice and a creative endeavor. By repurposing old wooden planks, pallets, or pieces from furniture , you’re giving new life to discarded materials.

This process not only reduces waste but also allows for customization in size, finish, and design, ensuring a one-of-a-kind piece that adds personality and style to your art collection or family photos.

9. Sea Glass Mobiles

Sea glass mobiles encapsulate the heart of sustainability with an artistic twist. Each piece of smoothed, frosted glass, once part of a discarded bottle or jar, now hangs elegantly, capturing light and color. This transformation from waste to wonder signifies not just a creative rebirth but a poignant reminder of nature’s ability to heal and repurpose our leftovers.

Crafting a sea glass mobile not only contributes to environmental conservation, it also offers a unique storytelling medium. Imagine the history encrypted within each fragment, from stormy voyage to sandy shore. Hanging in your space, these mobiles don’t just beautify; they whisper tales of the ocean’s enduring grace and the transformative power of human creativity.

10. Newspaper Papier-Mâché Mask

Papier-mâché masks offer an artistic reprieve and a chance to recycle old newspapers in a creative way. By tearing pages into strips and using a simple flour-and-water paste, these once-read stories transform into a canvas for imagination. It’s a tactile journey from printed word to a wearable art piece.

The beauty of using newspapers for these masks lies not just in the act of recycling, but in the layers of meaning each mask can hold. The news stories that once captured the world’s attention become part of a personal expression, a unique mask that melds past narratives with present creativity.

11. Upcycled Fabric Tote Bags

Transforming worn-out clothes into chic fabric tote bags is not just an artistic endeavor but also a statement for sustainable living. This art project breathes new life into clothing items that have lost their initial allure, offering them a second chance as fashionable and functional accessories . By reimagining these textiles, we not only curb waste but also spark creativity, crafting unique bags that tell a story.

Delving into this project, the beauty lies in its simplicity and the personal touch it bestows upon each creation. From selecting patterns to mixing and matching different fabrics, the process is a testament to the endless possibilities of upcycling.

Plastic Recycling Ideas

August 18, 2022

The world of recycling can seem complex and troubling, but it can be as simple as turning your shampoo bottles into a piggy bank. Keep reading for creative plastic recycling ideas and more information on sustainability through plastic recovery and reuse:

• Recycling Vs. Upcycling Vs. Downcycling
• 20 Creative Ways to Recycle Plastic Bottles
• 6 Things Made from Recycled Plastic
• Recycled Plastic As Part of Your Sustainability Strategy

Read this guide to plastic recycling ideas that can help individuals, as well as large organizations, practice sustainability.

Recycling vs. upcycling vs. downcycling

When discussing plastic recycling ideas, more terms seem to come into play, like upcycling and downcycling, but what do these mean? Essentially, upcycling and downcycling are types of recycling. Let’s dive into the differences.

Recycling is the collecting and processing of materials that would be considered trash and using them to create new products and items.

Traditionally, recycled items retain their value. Like if office paper materials create recycled office paper.

When materials are upcycled, it means that the value of the new product is higher than the value of the original product. You often find examples of upcycling on platforms like Etsy or Pinterest, where people take ordinary items and transform them into something artistic or more valuable.

An example would be using tin coffee cans as pots for plants. Instead of tossing this container and paying money for a pot, you can paint the tin can and use it for a lovely planter.

Downcycling

Downcycling is when the new product made from recycled materials is less valuable than the original product. This form of recycling is more common, as it’s typically easier and makes more sense.

An excellent example of downcycling is using old clothes to make rags or other fabric materials. People use worn t-shirts to make face masks, cleaning rags, or even facial towels.

Creative ways to recycle plastic bottles

It’s easy to throw away the plastic water bottle you just finished or your empty laundry detergent container. But taking a few extra steps to transform the plastic bottle, via upcycling or downcycling, can breathe new life into this potentially harmful material.

Instead of sending all your plastic bottles to landfills, get creative! Below are over twenty ways to recycle your plastic bottles and find a new way to use the item.

Snack storage

The best bottles for this are coffee creamer bottles and other items with dispensing features built-in. Clean the bottles and fill them with your favorite snacks.

People who love house plants often have propagations that need a new home. Instead of running out and dropping money for new pots, just cut your bottles in half and fill them with soil.

Watering can

The genius use of plastic bottles for gardeners is to make them into a watering can. This works best with larger bottles like detergent containers. If you poke holes in the lid, it’s easy to gently but thoroughly water your plants.

For something for bigger gardeners, large lawns, or just summer fun, poke holes in a two-liter bottle and stick your garden hose in it. Once it fills up, it will start squirting water out of the holes and caring for your plants and grass.

Plastic piggy bank

You can turn almost any plastic bottle into an adorable piggy bank to hold your change or encourage your kids to save money! Plus, this is a fun craft for you and your kids to do together.

Bird feeders

The birds will appreciate snacking on seeds from a recycled plastic bottle. You can cut a hole in the bottle and fill it with seeds or bird feed to keep your friendly flying neighbors fed and happy. Just hang it from your favorite tree or the eaves of your house.

Many plastic bottle recycling ideas involve you throwing away the cap. But don’t! Save all the different colors, sizes, and shapes, and you can make bottle cap art. People make mosaics, lamps, and even purses using old bottle caps.

Party/holiday decor

Instead of buying a pumpkin for Halloween this year, use an old laundry detergent bottle to make Jack-O-Lanterns or spooky ghosts. For your next party, use plastic bottles to make adorable decorations. And for Christmas, you make DIY tree ornaments using your old plastic bottles.

Key or wallet dish

If you or someone in your household tends to put their keys down and forget where they are or misplace their wallet constantly, make them a designated key and wallet dish or bowl using the bottom of a plastic bottle.

Flower vases

Glass flower vases can be expensive and even dangerous when you have kids and pets running around. So put your lovely fresh-cut flowers in a fancy plastic bottle. Decorate them however you want, whether it’s a layer of paint or an intricate design.

Pencil holders

Sick of pencils and pens lying around? Do your kids neglect to put their art supplies away? Use tall and thin plastic bottles to make designated pencil holders! You can even glue zippers on them to make a handy dandy pencil case for school.

Outdoor decor

Plastic bottles resist the elements, so they’re an excellent material to make the outdoor decor. You can make hanging mobiles by cutting them into ribbon swirls or make adorable hedgehogs to protect your garden.

Hardware organizers

It’s easy to throw all your different screwdrivers and screws into one junk drawer. Use smaller plastic bottles to separate and organize all those tiny pieces of hardware.

Filling an empty plastic bottle with dog treats or cat nip and cutting a small opening is a great way to keep your pets entertained for hours while also recycling a bottle!

Garden tools

If you need a dirt scooper or a small rake to tend to your garden, you can use a plastic bottle to make all of these things!

Using plastic bottles, you can make fun games like bottle cap checkers, bottle bowling, or a cup and ball game to entertain everyone.

Bag dispenser

If you have a dog, you know pulling out a plastic bag on your way to take them potty is something easily forgotten. But making a plastic bag dispenser from an old bottle helps you stay organized and remember a bag.

Measuring the rain can be a fun experiment for kids and useful information for gardeners. Cutting a plastic bottle and labeling the side can make a recycled rain gauge!

Use different-shaped plastic bottles as sand castle molds at the beach. This is one of the best and most fun ways to recycle all different bottles.

Crafts for kids

When it comes to arts and crafts, plastic bottles offer endless possibilities. Make music shakers, Christmas ornaments, keychains, mini cars, and more.

6 Things made from recycled plastic

Ever wonder what items you use or see daily that are recycled materials? Listed below are a few common items made from all or mostly recycled plastic!

Many of the things you wear may consist of recycled plastic!

• Bathing suits
• Jackets and outerwear

In your home

Even parts of your home that you touch everyday use recycled plastics:

• Countertops
• Garbage and recycling bins
• Water filters

Everyday items

So many items we use every day demonstrate a form of recycling, and the list keeps getting longer:

• Toiletry bottles
• Shopping bags
• Dog collars
• Cups and bowls
• Reusable water bottles
• Toothbrushes

Here are some things you see out and about that use recycled use plastics:

• Traffic Cones
• Patio furniture

So if you think there is a limit to what recycled plastic can do, you’re wrong! We are only hitting the tip of the iceberg with the potential of recycled plastics.

Recycled plastic as part of your sustainability strategy

While we discussed some great ways you can recycle plastic bottles in your home, real sustainability comes from larger companies and organizations.

Plastic Credits are a huge component of an organization’s sustainability strategy. There are two kinds of credits: Waste Collection Credits (WCCs) and Waste Recycling Credits (WRCs). WCCs are credited for plastic collected from the environment, and WRCs are credited for plastic from the recycling system.

Your organization can purchase plastic credits as a mechanism for funding plastic offset activities around the world. For instance, your plastic credits can be used to:

• Invest in plastic collection and recycling projects to offset your annual footprint
• Engage in high impact plastic collection and recycling projects around the world
• Make long-term, structural investments in your organization towards sustainability and reducing your plastic footprint

In turn, this will help you achieve your sustainability goals and target, such as becoming an organization with a net-zero plastic footprint.

Both massive companies and individuals can practice plastic recycling through upcycling or downcycling. While it may be arts and crafts for a small family and Plastic Credits for a corporation, the sustainability motive is the same.

At Second Life, we empower companies to reduce plastic waste, the same way these plastic recycling ideas can encourage individuals to reuse their plastic waste.

Global movements to recover plastic, such as our plastic recovery projects , are the key to making plastic recycling successful on a global and local level.

Stay up to date:, advanced manufacturing.

• Recycled materials could be used across manufacturing to make production processes greener and more sustainable.
• Significant challenges remain in terms of gaining widespread buy-in from manufacturers to use of recycled materials instead of virgin raw materials, however.
• Investment to scale up recycled material production processes, the use of high-quality data and the development of stable demand for greener products will be key to resolving many of these barriers.

In an ideal circular economy we would not produce waste, but in a linear economy we do. Repurposing this waste to use in new products is one way to recover its value as the world continues along the path to build a circular economy.

Have you read?

Ikea pledges to use only renewable and recycled materials by 2030, how construction innovations are enabling the transition to a circular economy.

A true circular economy promotes more sustainable upstream product design, rather than finding ways to recover and repurpose waste. Careful repurposing of waste-derived material could support this by connecting the upstream and downstream value chains of products. This could lead to iterative improvements in product design that would make it easier to recover components and materials for reuse. Additionally, these products could encourage the development of greener markets and raise awareness of new sustainable choices.

Are recycled materials inferior?

Unfortunately, there are deep-rooted perceptions that waste-derived, recycled or recovered materials are inferior to virgin materials. However, the concept of “quality” in this context mainly depends on use. Since current industrial processes are designed and calibrated to use virgin materials, recycled or recovered materials can disrupt value chains. With some adjustments to their processes, however, it would be possible for manufacturers to gain value from using recovered materials.

Take, for example, recycled concrete aggregate (RCA). It could replace natural aggregate in the construction industry, but there are 5 major barriers to overcome before it can add real value to the concrete production process:

1) Product contamination and variation

When concrete is produced, waste is usually gathered in a mixed stream that has a high level of contamination and varied properties. The quality of the recycled product can fluctuate and does not always meet the quality standards of typical virgin raw materials .

For upcycling to occur, a specific use for the recycled material must be identified at the product design stage - recycling would then happen accordingly. For example, most demolished concrete is currently recycled to produce crushed concrete. This contains coarse aggregate, fine cement, mortar particles, rubble, brick and other contaminants. This crushed concrete is used to replace rock when building roads and is considered a down-cycle because the recovered material replaces a material with lower commodity value.

Such a material stream - resulting from recycling and consisting of several mixed materials with a reasonably wide quality range - must undergo stringent filtering to qualify as a raw material in another production process. These activities, along with the need to keep higher safety margins, increase the cost of using recycled materials for manufacturing businesses.

Research shows that strong segregation of waste at the source of generation, data management and tracking along the value chain could help to overcome this barrier.

2) Maintaining constant supply

Keeping up with demand when recycled material or recovered content becomes a raw material in another supply chain is challenging. Matching the supply and demand needs of two supply chains requires careful inventory planning to avoid under- or oversupply. This drives up inventory holding costs. Designing production processes with the flexibility to switch to virgin raw material during supply disruptions results in asset under-utilisation and drives up working capital costs.

Once again, robust data management and cooperation with supply partners is key to overcoming this barrier.

3) Modifying the production process

If the properties of the new material are different to that of the virgin or traditional material, the manufacturing process itself might require modification to accommodate it. In the case of using recycled concrete, which contains residue cement mortar on the surface, producers need to be able to manage increased water absorption as a result.

New infrastructure will be needed to process the additional material stream if recovered material partially replaces traditional raw materials in this product. These changes are usually capital intensive and require investment . For example, new tools and methods will be needed to comprehensively model and evaluate supply and demand uncertainties linked to the use of recycled material. At the same time, getting accurate data on the quality and quantity of incoming streams will play a pivotal role in help to justify any investment in scaling up these processes.

4) Addressing demand uncertainty

Uncertainty of demand is another major issue for the industry. If manufacturers pass on the additional costs and risks of providing a greener product to the market, demand for that product may not be high enough to create a stable market.

This instability risk discourages producers from investing to scale up their operations to reach economies of scale. Creating a stable and consistent market pull for those products will provide producers using recycled materials with the necessary stability to operate, as well as to drive up productivity to compete.

5) Adapting incentive programs

Traditional manufacturing organisations use standardised processes to help them produce more efficiently while maintaining product quality. The introduction of new waste-derived, recovered or recycled alternative materials could disrupt these highly-standardised or optimised processes, however.

The key performance indicators (KPI) of production staff are usually tied to limiting production process variations. Incentivising staff to maintain the status quo in this way increases asset productivity and encourages them to meet production targets. However, this kind of approach is difficult to maintain when using recycled or recovered material due to the impact on production processes of the variations discussed in the previous points.

Unless traditional incentive schemes are changed to allow for these disruptions – perhaps even welcoming them as innovations or part of a wider green initiative – the traditional performance system will oppose this kind of change or transformation.

The global population is expected to reach close to 9 billion people by 2030 – inclusive of 3 billion new middle-class consumers.This places unprecedented pressure on natural resources to meet future consumer demand.

A circular economy is an industrial system that is restorative or regenerative by intention and design. It replaces the end-of-life concept with restoration, shifts towards the use of renewable energy, eliminates the use of toxic chemicals and aims for the elimination of waste through the superior design of materials, products, systems and business models.

Nothing that is made in a circular economy becomes waste, moving away from our current linear ‘take-make-dispose’ economy. The circular economy’s potential for innovation, job creation and economic development is huge: estimates indicate a trillion-dollar opportunity.

The World Economic Forum has collaborated with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation for a number of years to accelerate the Circular Economy transition through Project MainStream - a CEO-led initiative that helps to scale business driven circular economy innovations.

Finding the solutions

These barriers have a variety of solutions. While some require supply chain transformation, others need extensive collaboration and cooperation with value chain partners to reduce risks or redesign products for optimal integration.

Generating, managing and exchanging high-quality data is a universal solution. Developing stable demand for greener products is among the most prominent solutions to resolving most of the other barriers. Ultimately, we must acknowledge that establishing a circular economy will take decades and multiple iterative steps. Introducing waste-derived, recovered or recycled material to products is an early milestone in this long path towards a circular economy.
