From the research that Accenture has done in collaboration with the
World Economic Forum’s Young Global Leaders in Waste to Wealth, we
know that the circular economy offers a growth opportunity of $4.5 trillion
dollars to 2030 – just the ‘shot in the arm’ the global economy needs to
get us out of the doldrums that have followed the global financial crisis in
2008. What do you think the biggest opportunities are in your region?
What industry sectors have most to gain?
