“The Circular Economy: what
does it mean for the waste and resource management sector?” - this report
is the product of a research project commissioned by the Chartered
Institution of Wastes Management
(CIWM) in April 2014 from a Yorkshire based consultancy consortium of Ray
Georgeson Resources Ltd (RGR), Beasley Associates Ltd and Green Gain Ltd. The
desired intention of CIWM was to seek a deeper understanding of and
preparedness for the circular economy from across a broad range of the waste
and resources industry, especially focused on the CIWM membership.
An electronic online survey was completed by 612 respondents, and 54
detailed interviews were completed with industry leaders. 440 respondents stated
they were CIWM members, representing 8% of the total membership in July 2014.

The research shows that it means different things to
different people. It has covered a broad spectrum of interests in the waste and
resources sector across the five countries of these islands. It has included a
wide range of organisations across the industry and employees from CEOs to
operational staff. It provides CIWM with an important insight into the
understanding of the Circular Economy and provides them with a valuable
building block and a positive opportunity in plotting their future direction.
