THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY
“Based on detailed
product level modelling,
the report estimates
that the circular
economy represents a
net material cost saving
opportunity of USD 340
to 380 billion p.a. at EU
level for a ‘transition
scenario’ and USD 520
to 630 billion p.a. for an
‘advanced scenario’”

THIS IS HOW LINEAR THE GLOBAL ECONOMY ACTUALLY IS:
The Global Metabolism Flow that was conducted by
Metabolic in 2010 shows that we have extracted an
estimated 71,8 billion tonnes of material from the Earth
to fuel the global economy. These include: biomass
(food, feed, forestry, and other), fossil fuels (coal, gas, oil,
and other), ores, minerals (industrial and construction).
Out of these:
• Almost 11% is wasted prior to use (food and industrial
waste).
• An estimated 18% of approximately 3,4 billion tonnes
of global Municipal Solid Waste is recycled or
composted. An additional 10% is incinerated. The
remainder is lost.

@METABOLIC HQ
TOTAL GLOBAL MATERIAL FLOWS, 2010
• Out of the total annual solid waste collection of 11,2
billion tonnes per year, only an estimated 6,2% is
recovered in a form that has high utility for future use
(recycling or composting). An additional 33% is
recovered in a form that has low-medium utility for
future use (downcycling or incineration).
• Aside from these solid materials, the other largest
“lost” flow is untreated wastewater: 80% of domestic and
70% of industrial wastewater streams remain untreated
(184,4 km3 and 279,3 km3 respectively).
This immense material throughput and the inefficiencies
of each stage of materials’ and products’ lifespans and
the overall speed at which they are extracted are
obviously too large and call for a radical rethinking of
how the current system is designed. The linear “take,
make, waste” model of production-consumption systems
is self-evidently unsustainable, with the operation of
some key industries being primarily responsible for the
major biospheric and human wellbeing issues.
Reducing material throughput, increasing efficiency
gains, and extending the useful lifespan of materials and
products (both within a single product's life cycle and
across product cascades), and closing resource loops is
essential for fixing the global metabolism and changing
the way the current economic system is functioning.

kennisdeling en onderzoek om te zorgen voor hoogwaar-
dige technologieën, initiatieven en bedrijven in de haven.

De beweging richting lokaal producerende polyculturen
als model voor landbouw kan risico’s minimaliseren,
stabiele inkomsten en voeding verzorgen, en
economische en energetische opbrengsten
maximaliseren. Het ontwikkelen van proef boerderijen,
betrekken van de gemeenschap bij stadslandbouw, en
faciliteren van kennisoverdracht zijn concrete manieren
waarop de gemeente een leiderschapsrol kan nemen.

A VISION FOR A CIRCULAR
FUTURE
OCTOBER 2017
IMAGINING CIRCULAR CITIES
•	All materials bought, sold, or used on the airport
grounds – from buildings to food – are destined for
high-value reuse. This means that 100% of waste is
collected and processed for recovery back into either
economic or ecological cycles. Incineration with
energy recovery is only applied to highly degraded or
biohazardous products that cannot be treated in any
other way. Products and infrastructure are designed in
such a way that materials can be easily disassembled,
reused, and recycled – preferentially first as whole
products, then components, and finally as raw
materials.
•	Nutrients and other valuable resources are recovered
from wastewater and organic waste streams and
re-used in agricultural systems or for the general
enhancement of soil fertility in landscapes. The
amount of nutrients discharged into ecosystems does
not exceed the natural absorption capacity of these
systems.
•	Critical and scarce materials are used in a manner that allows for
their easy recovery and prevents the “lock-in” of these
resources for unreasonably long periods of time in
products or infrastructure.
•	The upstream and downstream impacts of the
materials used are consciously minimized through
responsible procurement and preferential purchasing
of low-impact options (for example, ecological
varieties of concrete, wood from sustainably-managed
forests, and lower-impact varieties of food and
consumer products).
•	Overall material use efficiency is greatly increased
compared to the baseline measurement we have
made for 2015, meaning that the same level of
service and economic value is delivered using a much
smaller amount of materials. The overall throughput
of materials is kept to the lowest level necessary
through the avoidance of unnecessary purchasing
and construction and through a shift towards the
dematerialization of products.
MATERIALS
ENERGY
•	All energy used within the airport grounds – whether
for heating, lighting, ground transport, or aviation
– comes from renewable or otherwise sustainable
sources, and is at minimum carbon neutral.
•	The overall energy efficiency of the airport – the total
amount of energy needed per unit of activity – is
greatly reduced in comparison to the baseline 2015
analysis.
BIODIVERSITY
SOCIETY AND CULTURE
HEALTH AND WELLBEING
VALUE GENERATION
RESILIENCE
•	Regardless of the kind of challenges the airport might
face – from extreme weather to global economic
instability – it is able to easily rebound.
•	Schiphol’s employees are well-informed and congenial,
able to work together in times of crisis, and capable of
rapid self-organization and problem-solving because
of the decentralized hierarchical model of Schiphol’s
operations. Information needed for decision-making is
readily and easily accessible to everyone.
•	All of the products bought, sold, or used on the airport
grounds (from food to construction materials) have
a neutral or beneficial impact on global ecosystems
throughout their upstream supply chains as well as in
their downstream and end-of-life cycles.
•	Schiphol expands its protective influence on
biodiversity in the Dutch Groene Hart by supporting
•	Schiphol serves as a global hub fostering inter-cultural
knowledge exchanges and increased understanding
among the public about circular economy practices.
The airport is an active showcase for circular
technologies in everything from mobility to food
production, facilitating international technology transfer.
•	Air quality at Schiphol – both indoor and outdoor –
is as pure as what was once found only in pristine
natural areas; nearly all sources of pollution have been
eliminated.
•	The area surrounding the airport is designed for easy
walkability and human-powered transport.
•	An abundance of indoor green areas leads to greater
mental wellbeing and productivity for both passengers
•	The economic productivity of resources consumed has
dramatically increased.
•	Other forms of value, like aesthetic quality, disease-
free-days, citizen subjective well-being, biological
the implementation of landscape restoration targeted
at the increase in the diversity and number of native
species in the area.
•	Schiphol actively participates in carbon capture and
utilization programs to compensate for CO2
emissions
from earlier years of high-carbon-emissions activities,
including aviation.
•	Through its role as one of the region’s leading buyers
and economic actors, Schiphol contributes to the
development and implementation of circular business
practices, lowering the threshold of adoption for
smaller actors.
and employees.
•	Healthy food is readily accessible for all workers and
passengers.
•	Relaxing and de-stressing environments and activities
are a cornerstone of the airports’ new passenger
experience.
diversity, and innovation, are actively measured as
benchmarks for economic performance alongside
revenue generation.
•	The airport is largely self-sufficient for several
essential resources, like energy and water. Because
of its well-developed recycling industries and close
relationships with peri-urban farms, it is also able to
supply a great deal of its required food supply and
other resources, like raw materials and products, from
within the local area.
•	Buildings and infrastructure are designed for
flexibility, expansion, and in anticipation of possible
environmental calamities.

These include: biomass (food, feed, forestry, and other), fossil fuels (coal, gas, oil, and other), ores, minerals (industrial and construction). Out of these: • Almost 11% is wasted prior to use (food and industrial waste). • An estimated 18% of approximately 3,4 billion tonnes of global Municipal Solid Waste is recycled or composted. An additional 10% is incinerated. The remainder is lost. LEGEND: Biomass (food, feed, forestry, and other) Fossil fuels (coal, gas, oil, and other) Ores Minerals (industrial and construction) Fresh water www.metabolic.nl @METABOLIC HQ TOTAL GLOBAL MATERIAL FLOWS, 2010 • Out of the total annual solid waste collection of 11,2 billion tonnes per year, only an estimated 6,2% is recovered in a form that has high utility for future use (recycling or composting). An additional 33% is recovered in a form that has low-medium utility for future use (downcycling or incineration). • Aside from these solid materials, the other largest “lost” flow is untreated wastewater: 80% of domestic and 70% of industrial wastewater streams remain untreated (184,4 km3 and 279,3 km3 respectively). This immense material throughput and the inefficiencies of each stage of materials’ and products’ lifespans and the overall speed at which they are extracted are obviously too large and call for a radical rethinking of how the current system is designed. The linear “take, make, waste” model of production-consumption systems is self-evidently unsustainable, with the operation of some key industries being primarily responsible for the major biospheric and human wellbeing issues. Reducing material throughput, increasing efficiency gains, and extending the useful lifespan of materials and products (both within a single product's life cycle and across product cascades), and closing resource loops is essential for fixing the global metabolism and changing the way the current economic system is functioning. • 117 billion tonnes extracted • 71,8 billion tonnes “used”

Biomassa en en residuen van Schiphol en cruise schepen kunnen significant voor bio-based activiteiten. De haven van Amsterdam is in snel tempo ‘plug-and-play’ infrastructuur aan het ontwikkelen. Er is een sterke kennisdeling en onderzoek om te zorgen voor hoogwaar- dige technologieën, initiatieven en bedrijven in de haven. € De beweging richting lokaal producerende polyculturen als model voor landbouw kan risico’s minimaliseren, stabiele inkomsten en voeding verzorgen, en economische en energetische opbrengsten maximaliseren. Het ontwikkelen van proef boerderijen, betrekken van de gemeenschap bij stadslandbouw, en faciliteren van kennisoverdracht zijn concrete manieren waarop de gemeente een leiderschapsrol kan nemen. Gesloten nutrient kringlopen ICL maakt mest van reststromen. De haven kan voortbouwen op dit succes door lokale en gedistribueerde nutrient herwinning systemen te steunen die grotere afval volumes kunnen verwerken de haven omringt, kan plaats verschillende voordelen verschaffen aan
  • 27. OCTOBER 2017 A VISION FOR A CIRCULAR FUTURE
  • 28. OCTOBER 2017 IMAGINING CIRCULAR CITIES • All materials bought, sold, or used on the airport grounds – from buildings to food – are destined for high-value reuse. This means that 100% of waste is collected and processed for recovery back into either economic or ecological cycles. Incineration with energy recovery is only applied to highly degraded or biohazardous products that cannot be treated in any other way. Products and infrastructure are designed in such a way that materials can be easily disassembled, reused, and recycled – preferentially first as whole products, then components, and finally as raw materials. • Nutrients and other valuable resources are recovered from wastewater and organic waste streams and re-used in agricultural systems or for the general enhancement of soil fertility in landscapes. The amount of nutrients discharged into ecosystems does not exceed the natural absorption capacity of these systems. • Critical and scarce materials are used in a manner that allows for their easy recovery and prevents the “lock-in” of these resources for unreasonably long periods of time in products or infrastructure. • The upstream and downstream impacts of the materials used are consciously minimized through responsible procurement and preferential purchasing of low-impact options (for example, ecological varieties of concrete, wood from sustainably-managed forests, and lower-impact varieties of food and consumer products). • Overall material use efficiency is greatly increased compared to the baseline measurement we have made for 2015, meaning that the same level of service and economic value is delivered using a much smaller amount of materials. The overall throughput of materials is kept to the lowest level necessary through the avoidance of unnecessary purchasing and construction and through a shift towards the dematerialization of products. MATERIALS ENERGY • All energy used within the airport grounds – whether for heating, lighting, ground transport, or aviation – comes from renewable or otherwise sustainable sources, and is at minimum carbon neutral. • The overall energy efficiency of the airport – the total amount of energy needed per unit of activity – is greatly reduced in comparison to the baseline 2015 analysis. BIODIVERSITY SOCIETY AND CULTURE HEALTH AND WELLBEING VALUE GENERATION RESILIENCE • Regardless of the kind of challenges the airport might face – from extreme weather to global economic instability – it is able to easily rebound. • Schiphol’s employees are well-informed and congenial, able to work together in times of crisis, and capable of rapid self-organization and problem-solving because of the decentralized hierarchical model of Schiphol’s operations. Information needed for decision-making is readily and easily accessible to everyone. • All of the products bought, sold, or used on the airport grounds (from food to construction materials) have a neutral or beneficial impact on global ecosystems throughout their upstream supply chains as well as in their downstream and end-of-life cycles. • Schiphol expands its protective influence on biodiversity in the Dutch Groene Hart by supporting • Schiphol serves as a global hub fostering inter-cultural knowledge exchanges and increased understanding among the public about circular economy practices. The airport is an active showcase for circular technologies in everything from mobility to food production, facilitating international technology transfer. • Air quality at Schiphol – both indoor and outdoor – is as pure as what was once found only in pristine natural areas; nearly all sources of pollution have been eliminated. • The area surrounding the airport is designed for easy walkability and human-powered transport. • An abundance of indoor green areas leads to greater mental wellbeing and productivity for both passengers • The economic productivity of resources consumed has dramatically increased. • Other forms of value, like aesthetic quality, disease- free-days, citizen subjective well-being, biological the implementation of landscape restoration targeted at the increase in the diversity and number of native species in the area. • Schiphol actively participates in carbon capture and utilization programs to compensate for CO2 emissions from earlier years of high-carbon-emissions activities, including aviation. • Through its role as one of the region’s leading buyers and economic actors, Schiphol contributes to the development and implementation of circular business practices, lowering the threshold of adoption for smaller actors. and employees. • Healthy food is readily accessible for all workers and passengers. • Relaxing and de-stressing environments and activities are a cornerstone of the airports’ new passenger experience. diversity, and innovation, are actively measured as benchmarks for economic performance alongside revenue generation. • The airport is largely self-sufficient for several essential resources, like energy and water. Because of its well-developed recycling industries and close relationships with peri-urban farms, it is also able to supply a great deal of its required food supply and other resources, like raw materials and products, from within the local area. • Buildings and infrastructure are designed for flexibility, expansion, and in anticipation of possible environmental calamities.
