Listen "Mobility - One World, Zero Waste? The Circular Economy Explained"

Episode Synopsis

The environmental footprint of transport is subject to much attention, given its impact on health, the environment, climate change, and the extraction of natural resources. Could a circular economy approach help address these challenges?

In the circular economy, it’s the whole process of manufacturing, using, and then what happens to the materials afterwards that needs to be considered. In One World Zero Waste? The Circular Economy Explained, we explore with guests Maya Ben Dror from the World Economic Forum and Duncan Kay, Vice chair of the Group of Rapporteurs on Pollution and Energy of the World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations, why we need solutions to make the entire life cycle of vehicles as efficient as possible, reducing waste and pollution at all stages and to minimize resource intensity for any given trip. We learn how such an approach also impacts the choice of which mode of transport we use, vehicle use and distances covered.
