This PPT slide, part of the 24-slide Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR): Circular Economy PowerPoint presentation, presents a case study on the application of Circular Economy principles within the waste management sector. It outlines 3 distinct waste categories: discarded PET bottles, waste tires, and electronic waste. Each category is evaluated across 3 levels of aggregation: Basic, Advanced, and Full.
For discarded PET bottles, the profit on PET production varies significantly, with a range of -105 to -145 dollars per metric ton at the Basic level, improving to 155-315 dollars at the Advanced level, and reaching 360-590 dollars at the Full level. This indicates that enhanced sorting and processing can lead to substantial economic benefits.
In the case of waste tires, the socioeconomic benefit generated is minimal at the Basic level (10-15 dollars),, but it increases to 75-130 dollars in the Advanced category and further to 165-295 dollars at the Full level. This suggests that more sophisticated recovery methods yield better financial returns.
Electronic waste shows the most significant potential, with a value extraction range of 1,375 to 2,280 dollars at the Basic level. This jumps to 4,955-5,420 dollars in the Advanced category and remains high at 3,850-4,850 dollars in the Full level, emphasizing the importance of advanced recovery techniques like hydrometallurgical processes.
The concluding note stresses the necessity for a balanced approach that encourages investment from downstream waste users while leveraging management expertise to optimize operations and attract talent. This highlights the strategic importance of integrating Circular Economy principles into waste management for maximizing economic outcomes.
