Circular Economy? Show us the money: PRESENTATION ONLY

David Tompkins, WSP, UK

HEADLINES

• Circular Economy has become synonymous with resource recovery and is being devalued as a concept due to failures in UK waste policy

• The Water sector should be driving the transition from linear to circular, but we have no sense of destination and no understanding what this means in financial terms

• Defra’s creation of a CE Taskforce for England seeks to address some prior shortcomings (but makes no mention of water)

• HM Government’s focus is on growth. Trust is in short supply and we can’t make undeliverable promises to HMG, Ofwat, the EA – or customers

• Recovery of non-renewable resources should be prioritised. Have we already maximised this opportunity with P in biosolids?

• We need to constantly challenge ourselves to ask why resource recovery isn’t BAU and we need a more transparent, collaborative approach to knowledge exchange

• In a CWE world, the water itself may be the most precious commodity
