A blueprint for a sustainable future: Financing the circular economy

Julien Tremblin, General Manager at TerraCycle Europe, gives his blueprint for a sustainable future and explains how the UK can finance the transition to a circular economy.

The transition from a linear take-make-dispose model to a circular economy is one of the defining challenges of our time.

While the environmental and social imperatives are widely accepted both by governments and the wider population, two key questions remain: ‘How do we pay for it?’ and ‘how much does it really cost?’

For decades, our economic system has been built on cheap, disposable materials, but the models for managing their end-of-life are proving to be costly.

This financial imbalance has created a deadlock, leading to a visible stagnation in recycling efforts, not just in the UK, but across Europe.

TerraCycle: Transforming Waste Into Opportunity

TerraCycle is at the forefront of tackling global waste challenges, embodying the principle that everything is recyclable. This pioneering company is dedicated to diverting materials that are typically not accepted by traditional waste management systems, such as complex beauty product packaging, chip bags, and other hard-to-recycle items. Their innovative solutions not only help save millions of tons of waste from landfills but also provide sustainable pathways for individuals and businesses to manage their waste responsibly, no matter where they are located.

Here’s how I cut my rubbish to one bag per fortnight (and make money while I’m at it)​

Paid-for zero-waste bags and boxes

Some plastics are notoriously hard to reuse or recycle – things like food pouches, contact lens packaging, toothbrush heads and old pens. For these, I buy zero-waste collection bags from Terracycle. The fee covers postage, and I drop the filled bags off at a locker in my local supermarket. It’s a simple process that gives me peace of mind, knowing it helps reduce harmful microplastics – which we ingest between 78,000 and 211,000 of each year. These plastics are then turned into pellets used to make play park equipment.
