BACKGROUND

In today’s linear economy, manufacturers work around the take-make-waste model, where natural resources are extracted to create products, and products are disposed when they’re no longer useful. Such model is costly, not only in terms of economic value, it also imposes great loss to the environment.

Circular Economy, on the other hand, ensures that everything has value and nothing is wasted. Products are designed and made to last. Manufacturers adopt reuse-repair-reproduce model, enabling materials to remain in use at their highest value for as long as possible.

THE GEOSPATIAL ENABLER

While it is well established that Geospatial and Earth Observation data are powerful tools in measuring, monitoring and reporting of the SDGs; tracking and managing the Circular Economy pose a different challenge altogether.

Circular Economy requires products to be connected digitally to the manufacturer so the entire product lifecycle can be monitored. The complex circular networks connecting suppliers and partners, too, must be managed seamlessly in order to support Circular Economy collaborative model. Advances in digital technologies, especially the combination of mobile, machine-to-machine and data analytics, will play a big role in matching the supply and demand of underused assets and products.

There are various ways Geospatial technology is supporting and has the potential to support Circular Economy practices, among others:

SYMPOSIUM ON SDG & CIRCULAR ECONOMY AT GWF 2021

Geospatial World Forum 2021 shall host a 2-day symposium on SDG & Circular Economy, with the objective to demonstrate how Circular Economy practices can help to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), and the promising role of Geospatial solutions in this regard.
