Investigating the potential for high-value reuse in a circular economy

The Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Environment and the RACE Program (Realising the Acceleration towards a Circular Economy) consortium have put forward tools, guidelines, and frameworks to educate municipalities, businesses, consumers about high-value reuse and recycling of products, including cars and vehicles components. The initiative identified knowledge, technology, market, legal and culture barriers and developed a Product Reuse Framework to identify opportunities. 

With this report of the RACE Theme 2 program, Circle Economy and MVO Nederland have defined high-value reuse and developed the beginnings of tools and resources that can be disseminated to the broader business community, society, and policy makers.
