Here is the transcript: Living systems have been around for a few billions years, and will be around for many more. In the living world, there is no landfill: instead, materials flow. One species waste is another’s food, energy is provided by the sun, things grow, and dye, and nutrients return to the soil safely. And it works. Yet as humans, we have adopted a linear approach. We take, we make, and we dispose. A new phone comes out, so we ditch the old one. Our washing machine packs up, so we buy another. Each time we do this, we are eating in a finite supply of resources, and often producing toxic waste. It simply can’t work long-term. So what can? If we accept that the living world cyclical model works, can WE change our way of thinking, so that we too operate a circular economy. Let’s start with the biological cycle: how can our waste build capital rather than reduce it? By rethinking and redesigning products and components and the packaging they come in, we can create safe and compostable materials that help grow more stuff. As they say in the movies: no ressources have been lost in the making of this material! So what about the washing machines, mobile phones, fridges…? We know they don’t biodegrade. Here, we are talking about another sort of rethinking. A way to cycle valuable metals, polymers and alloys, so they maintain their quality and continue to be usueful beyond the shelf life of individual products. What if the goods of today become the resources of tomorrow? It makes commercial sense: instead of the throw away and replace culture we become used to, we adopt a return and renew one, where products and components are designed to be disassembled and regenerated. One solution maybe to rethink the way we view ownership. What if we actually never own our technologies? We simply licence them from the manufacturers. Now, let’s put the biological cycle and the technical cycle together. Imagine if we could design products to come back to their makers, their technical material being reused, and their biological increasing agricultural value. And imagine that these products are made and transported using renewable energy. Here we have a model that builds prosperity long-term. And the good news is, there are already companies out there who are beginning to adopt this way of working. But a circular economy is not about ONE manufacturer changing ONE product. It is about ALL the interconnecting companies that form our infrastructure and economy - coming together. It is about energy, it is about rethinking the operating system itself. We have a fantastic opportunity to open new perspectives and new horizons. Instead of remaining trapped in the frustrations of the present. With creativity and innovation, we really can rethink and redesign OUR future.

Another challenge is planned obsolescence, where produces are designed to fail on purpose.... The world economy is broken and convoluted. Money is backed by debt, which is counter intuitive. Its a very complex issue.

Things can last a long time if you take care of it and work on it. I don't mind giving back the materials to the company though. I just rather be able to keep my washing machine for 10+ years without worry than have to do another contract every x months or x years. When I am truly done with it, I do not mind giving it back to the company so they can reuse the materials. Its not rethinking ownership, its just putting yourself in debt.

I think if you had options for purchase or lease (similar to software now) that it would be a lot more palatable and less scary. Or, we could call it something different -- you "own" it while you have it -- but returning a product to the manufacturer is a convenient feature and protocol built into "ownership." We have to be careful not to get caught up in a war of semantics. Example: If we were fighting against pollution because it's ugly and bad there would be no "deniers" blocking the way to progress.

The text highlights a crucial paradigm shift from the linear to the circular economy, inspired by natural cycles. It's a perspective that not only promotes environmental sustainability, but also drives innovation and creates economic opportunities. The idea of rethinking ownership and adopting licensing rather than ownership models may seem counterintuitive at first, but it can lead to more efficient use of resources and a significant reduction in waste. Furthermore, the concept of recycling valuable materials such as metals and polymers to prolong their usefulness is essential to ensure that resources are used more effectively. Meanwhile, the emphasis on collaboration across companies and sectors to create a broader, interconnected circular economy may seem challenging initially, but it offers an incredible opportunity to rethink and redesign the entire operating system, driving systemic change toward sustainability. Therefore, the transition to a circular economy not only offers practical solutions to the environmental challenges we face today, but also presents exciting opportunities to fundamentally transform the way we live and do business.

The human economy is actually a subset of the natural economy (the Earth's ecology). It does not make economic sense in the short-term to recover raw materials from goods, no. But continuously extracting new materials is not sustainable in an ecological sense, so when they deplete, the human economy will suffer as a result. When ecosystem services are depleted, our materials and energy will become increasingly expensive on the market, and we may not have much of an economy left.

This vision is not just a matter of political will, it demands immense amounts of energy to do so. Energy is expensive - this is why it is cheaper to mine and produce things from virgin material than it is to recycle them. The only metals where it makes sense to recycle are copper, aluminium and (depending on the cost of energy in that country) steel. That is it. The heavy metals we find in our consumer electronics are hardly recyclable. It would be easier to dump it in third world countries where the poorest people in the world burn off the silicone conformal coating and melt down the contacts for gold and copper - which is what happens today. It is cheaper to crack heavy oils down into lighter fractions to produce fuel and plastics, than it is to sort, grade, clean, pelletise, and remould plastic. And actually the limiting factor for plastic recycling often isn't even the sorting and grading, but the removal of dyes, UV stabilisers, fireproofing additives, fillers like glass fiber and titanium dioxide and carbon black, as well as any lacquers or waxes that might have been applied to produce a better surface finish or promote mould release. It is cheaper to dump than recycle because of the cost of energy. Energy to break down finished goods into raw material again, and energy to build it back up. With the cost of energy for recycling far exceeding the cost of mining of course it will be easier to mine and dump. But there are technologies that we will need to work on and perfect in order to drive that recycling barrier down. - Plasma arc gasification breaks all products - organics, inorganics, metals, ceramics - into their component atoms. But it is extremely energy intensive, and wastes that are organic-poor, like electronic waste, make the process a net energy consumer. However, what is left after the process is slag, from which materials can be leached out using acids. But due to its (rather wrong) association with incinerators, and with waste management long having been devolved to municipal level as opposed to state level, the capital investment required to mature the technology has never materialised. And even if you don't leach the valuable metals from the slag, it is decent as a building material when ground up into powder and mixed with cement. - It is possible to recycle even concrete by heating it up to over 4000 degrees Celsius. This drives off the extra oxygen and leaves quicklime. But again, this process of heating to extreme temperatures is basically more expensive than mining limestone and calcining it. The cost of energy makes mining win out. - Organic wastes like food and garden waste are handled in a suboptimal fashion, again because of expensive energy. Diesel fuel is burned moving waste from households to the municipal landfill. It is cheaper to bury it. Even composting is more expensive, requiring energy to aerate and turn the compost as it decomposes. The time penalty of composting inexorably drives landfilling, as the rate of waste generation can easily outstrip the rate of composting. Here too, we can speed up the process and even generate some energy while doing it: kzitem.info/news/bejne/2a5osoB5rqqVe2k Molten salt pyrolysis can turn organic waste into biochar in 10 minutes. In fact it is so rapid that the rate limiting step is actually the gathering of waste material and batching it into the vats of molten salt. The biochar can then be rinsed and spread onto arable land to restore the soil quality. Or if you leave it in the molten salt, it eventually turns into bio-coal, which is a low-ash, relatively carbon neutral substitute for mineral coal that you can use to produce steel with, or burn in a coal power plant (although I doubt you could ever produce bio-coal fast enough to feed a coal power plant - you would run out of organic waste). These technologies are all nascent and all require state involvement to mature them. Fully scaled up they can decarbonise large sectors of the economy while reducing the amount of waste that ultimately winds up in landfill. But all of them require energy - energy cheaper than even the fossil fuels we burn for energy today. Energy that is more reliable and steady across seasonal variations than wind and solar. The unlocking of vast amounts of cheap energy is the key to a circular economy. Calls for energy reduction and degrowth then, are therefore calls for more mining and less recycling.

@snoot_mcgoot

That’s actually the opposite of what this does. Under capitalism, a circular economy would mean corporations are incentivized to create products & services that are the least wasteful and are designed to be upgraded & repaired, rather than disposed of, because they are responsible for the cost, maintenance, and disposal & reuse of products. They are incentivized to innovate to find more effective products and services, AND to reduce the amount of energy & materials used and wasted when producing their products - limiting negative externalities like pollution that society has to pay for. There can still be competing firms & companies to offer products and services - this model just means that they will also be forced to take into account the cost of producing, maintaining, and disposing of their products, not just production. This incentivizes them to innovate in ways to update, refurbish, reuse, and recycle their products and materials because it adds a cost to the disposal of products. Currently it’s often cheaper to just make new models of things and design products to be broken, but if corporations are responsible for their products throughout their entire lifecycle it becomes more expensive to simply dispose of products when they’re broken or need to be upgraded. So that creates an incentive to innovate and provide customers with products that can be upgraded, reused and recycled. It will spark innovation, not stifle it, and there will still be competition. In terms of this making corporations “own you”, that’s not accurate. Under free market capitalism people are already heavily influenced by corporations through branding, advertisements, etc. They make products that purposefully can’t be repaired so that you’re forced to buy something new to replace it. Creating a circular economy will help lessen that by creating conditions that allow and encourage everyone to find ways to conserve resources, update and repair existing products, and recycle as much as possible. That helps lessen the dependency we have on corporations to a degree. It wouldn’t be completely changed or removed by a circular economy, but it would be improved.

These both equal upto challenges that society must go through. Even corruption is a challenge societies must undergo, and is often the most difficult hurdle. But once solutions are found and applied, leading to long term change, that's progress. We go through this process of advancement everyday, and when there are no more challenges, no more problems to be solved, that's when another civilisation must rise and the cycle starts all over again.

Nicely explained and building on the C2C thinking. The real change will happen when we get people to ask "what's in it for US"in stead of "what's in it for ME?"...could take a while to change this egocentric attitude...

Other reasons to dislike is that it doesnt address issues such as poverty, and misery (specially at birth, and let us not even get into the several other complications). It could in fact keep them stagnated: resources are recycled, so it is likely that money too get out of hands just temporarily (because then someone will need your service and you get it back). Therefore, those who have it (specially plenty) will keep it. Those without, who never had, never will. Save the Earth, doom the people

Not only that, but there is the issue of growing profits, market share competition and so on (which with goods merely being recycled, won't happen after the first year(s)). The current market structure rely on those competitive things, and unless there is a major catastrophic crises or through force, they will not simply agree. At most, they do as they do today, to take "green" initiatives that are merely for PR and marketing purposes (it is an investment), not actually changing the core.

I could (though I didn't) and the logic is very simple: I don't think it would work in practice, not as it is described. Why? It requires "everyone to agree". What was the last time we, humanity (or even within a single country/region) without some sort of domination and imposition. Quick answer: never. And that is the problem with many of the alternative movements, too much idealism and hypothesis (the excess being something I *dislike*), too little practical considerations.

but how can we move to this new way of thinking if we are still using the same money marketing system? this would be inverse to economic growth because firms in a competitive market rely on cyclical consumption which needs products to be obsolete (break down making room for newer products) - in order to stay affordable to the consumer and to keep production costs to the very minimum. we would have to abandon the market system for this new system to work.

In other words, the corporations will own everything, you will rent all of your products from them, and when you want something new you will turn in your old products and exchange them. And the best part is, since you don't actually own anything, it will be a lot easier for the government to control and suppress political dissent.

Rather than licensing from the manufacturer, as we already know that is a path rife with graft. We need to think more along the lines of shared ownership of the manufacturer.

Even better for many devices and appliances would be to make electrical products that are modular and repairable, things used to be that way and we've taken a big step backwards over the decades. There is no need to have a completely new washing machine or TV every five years, a mobile phone every couple of years, and deliberately built in obscellence should be regulated and illegal.

This all makes sense, however the not owning aspect pushes people away. Can we own them, and then one they break down, you return them for repairs or upgrades? Another challenge is planned obsolescence, where produces are designed to fail on purpose.... The world economy is broken and convoluted. Money is backed by debt, which is counter intuitive. Its a very complex issue.

This is a great idea, and yes, I know of a scientist who has invented a technology to identify useful plastic from waste without human intervention, but cannot commercialise it because of patent issues, so I guess this will be used as wel... but if we rethink... can we not learn to consume "less"??? I know this would make our GDP grow slower, but may be we will be happier...

Everything works in cycle, whether we like it or not. Nature will always prevail. It's just a question of whether those cycles work in our favour or not. In the case of our current "linear" way of living, it is still part of a different cycle that leads a path to our own extinction. If we perish from this planet, we will but the laws of nature will carry on without a glitch. So it is really a matter of choice for us to shift from the current cycle that leads to extinction to a different cycle which works in favour of our own survival.

I was watching this video for assignment, but after watching it, I realized that we have never concerned about this planet. Now is the time to wake up to the current environmental impacts and acknowledge that the idea of an infinitely growing capitalist society does not function in the actual world with limited resources.

Capitalsm is the way to solve the problem. It is occuring to manufacturers that we have a finite supply of resources and that people don't like you if you destroy the environment. I agree with everything in the video exept for the stuff about ownership. Instead of the idea suggested in the video, I believe that there will be companies that look to buy waste to refine resources that cannot biodegrade and sell them back to manufacturers.

Socialism led to the centralization of the monetary system, the central banking system, which funds infinite wars, destroying not only the environment but costing human lives and suffering. Governments are the biggest polluters of the world. Giving them more power by destroying the free market will only make pollution worse.

Cute video with a bunch of issues that only take a moment to uncover… let’s start with these! 1. Leasing products and services is only going to create a dynamic in which the company that offers the newest gadgets with the latest features wins. It doesn’t curb consumption, it reinforces it. This isn’t a new discovery… it’s the reason car manufacturers want you to lease, not buy. It keeps you coming in for upgrades. 2. People simply do not have a big enough impact on the environment to make that much of a difference. This idea that we can reduce our “carbon footprint” and save the earth let’s the biggest consumers and polluters off the hook. Business MUST BE REGULATED. Not in the way we are accustom to seeing either. They must be tasked with sustainable degrowth strategies which are designed to remove shareholder dividends, profit-based bonus’s, and all kinds of other devices that got us to where we are today. Here’s a wild idea… what would happen if stock markets were moved to a not-for-profit mode and brought (along with banks) under public control? How would that change motivations? 3. Education is key to understanding the problem. There are several concepts that we simply do not teach todays youth. Let’s start with existential threats and the way the mind deals (or not) with them. Let’s teach kids that resources are finite and capital is imaginary. Let’s teach them that money is a drug and that the true goal of power is to reaffirm itself, ensuring power is retained, not released. The video was cute but we are facing extraordinary challenges that this video whitewashes with cartoons and phrases which are simply cartoonish by nature.

Well said! You're a smart cookie! You make perfect sense to me....initially I bought into the video's concept but then I researched the entity affiliated with this video and it's concept(s) and discovered that seemingly nothing has moved forward on their website and I assume (via the website) on their objectives. They talk about renewable building supplies.....but, the page goes nowhere. They talk about recycling plastics but their website goes nowhere on that issue also. Granted, the website may not have been updated (in TEN YEARS!) but I got a vibe about all this Pollyannaish thinking.....the main point I would like to offer is that (for the younger generation out there) we need to BEWARE of Socialism and Communism!! And from there, It's a slippery slope from wanting to begin saving the world with its new 'forms of ownership' and then progressing to losing our liberties and worse.... Ya feel me...at least kinda?

Excelente idea!. Me encontre con este video buscando material del uso abstracto del circulo,... parte de un algorithmo magico que fundamenta 'todo' para ser usardo como 'matriz' en todo. Algo asi como formar un 'circulo' abstracto de cualquier industria que quieras embarcarte y formas un circulo con todas las partes que la componen, hacen algo y tambien con las partes que validan lo que hacen. El circulo abstracto en una industria provee existo, y dividirlo en pedacitos que forman perfecto sentido en circulo, accarean resultados sublimes de perfeccion. No importa si es el campo economico, fisico, biologico u otro quel ser humano decida usar, la perfeccion del circulo dicta paso a paso la secuencia a seguir dentro de un circulo fraccionado de partes que la conforman. Repetir el 'circulo' indefinidamente en secuencias con lleva a un nivel superior del 'circulo' - espiral infinito. Asi como las plantas muestran la divinidad del circulo, ... el uso del circulo en a rueda, las poleas, motores, etc, han elevado al hombre.

Better than not owning the products is simply the government doesn't bury or burn the trash and making it unusable but makes it so you can buy the right to scavenge trash. With near-future tech we could have robots that can deconstruct the trash and they can go through processing to make them into clean, useable raw materials again, this processing uses re-useable energy. The companies would simply buy the raw materials.

They don't want... yet. But imagine, if the company actually made good quality products that would last for years, the longer they'd license it, the more money they'd make. Part of the problem here is to manage to sell it to us, the consumers. Maybe rather than buying a 480$ washing machine in one go, which many people can't do, you could pay 5 or 10$ a month. If the manufacturer did it's job well in 4 years they'd made their money back, and people would "own" good quality products "forever".

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: Living systems follow a circular model where waste is minimal and nutrients flow back into the soil Human society operates on a linear approach of take, make, and dispose, which is unsustainable Shifting towards a circular economy involves rethinking and redesigning products to be compostable and recyclable Products can be designed to be disassembled and regenerated instead of being thrown away Shifting towards a circular economy requires collaboration among all companies to create systemic change and use renewable energy sources Made with HARPA AI
