For widespread reuse of materials and higher resource productivity to become commonplace, market mechanisms will need to play a dominant role, supported by policy makers, educational institutions and popular opinion leaders. These enablers include:

  • Collaboration
  • Rethinking incentives
  • Providing a suitable set of international environmental rules
  • Leading by example and driving up scale fast
  • Access to financing
