Cape Town - An important dialogue about the circular economy took place yesterday to encourage businesses and consumers to get involved in sustainable practices, particularly in honour of Recycling Week.
Environment, Forestry and Fisheries Minister Barbara Creecy said: “For many countries, placing their economies on a more sustainable growth path is central to these strategies. South Africa has also realised that green industries can open up new possibilities for development and assist in creating much-needed jobs.”The strategy is aimed towards promoting the waste hierarchy and circular economy principles, while achieving socio-economic benefits and reducing the negative environmental impacts.
“This will make a significant contribution in the diversion of waste from land filling, thereby increasing the recycling rate to achieve the objectives of the National Waste Management Strategy. This also charts the new approach to the management of waste in South Africa,” Creecy said. Shaba said the road map for the circular economy coming up is something that students should start learning about as a first principle.
