For more than a decade, the Green Alliance and various business partners have been accumulating a wealth of evidence highlighting the importance of a circular economy. A circular economy offers a myriad of solutions to several problems faced by the UK, from environmental risks to economic challenges.
Traditionally, our economy has operated in a linear ‘take, make, use and throw’ fashion. Materials are extracted, goods are produced, sold, used, and eventually discarded, often after a very short lifespan. However, a circular economy could revolutionise this trajectory. In a circular economy, materials and products are kept in use for as long as possible through reuse, repair, remanufacturing, and recycling, preserving their highest value. This model reduces raw material consumption and mitigates the negative impact associated with waste generation.
Fidelity Special Values PLC (LON:FSV) aims to seek out underappreciated companies primarily listed in the UK and is an actively managed contrarian Investment Trust that thrives on volatility and uncertainty.
