By 2040,
a circular economy has the potential to reduce the annual volume of plastics entering
our oceans by 80%, reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 25%, generate savings of
$200 U.S. dollars per year and create 700,000 net additional jobs..
In addition, one of the largest comparative studies on
the impact of implementing a circular economy demonstrated a positive effect on
employment, in part due to new jobs in recycling and remanufacturing.
