A circular economy plan—that will allow London to adapt to its swiftly growing population—is necessary, specifically as it applies to products, housing, office space and infrastructure. The London Waste and Recycling Board launched a ‘Route Map’ in 2017, which provides guidance for London’s circular transition and recommends areas of action. Priority areas of focus are food, textiles, plastics, electricals and the built environment—and an economic analysis of the roadmap demonstrated that the measures could create approximately three billion euros of revenue. A fully circular transition could provide up to 12,000 new jobs in the next decade and a half by bolstering the reuse, remanufacturing and materials innovation sectors.
