3 lessons from Finland on transitioning to a circular economy
A circular transition is needed to tackle a host of crises, from resource scarcity to biodiversity loss and climate change.
A circularity roadmap outlines the steps that must be taken to transition away from a linear ‘make-take-waste’ model to one that protects resources.
Finland’s example shows the right roadmap can kickstart systems-wide change.
In 2016, under the leadership of the Finnish Innovation Fund Sitra, Finland was the first country in the world to prepare a national circular economy roadmap. This roadmap provided a plan to move the country away from a ‘make-take-waste’ linear economy model to one that protects resources and eliminates waste along value chains.
