What are the trade-offs between primary resource extraction versus reclamation of resources from waste streams in the context of resource security? How circular can the UK economy become?

Background

The wide range of products harvested from nature and produced by agri-food and forestry industries represent a significant proportion of UK GDP. Ensuring that these products are produced and traded sustainably to the financial and broader benefit of the UK, without damage to the environment, involves a range of critical research questions.

    Why might this be relevant?

    The project focuses on the synergistic utilization of secondary organic streams, which partially addresses the question about reclamation of resources from waste streams. However, it does not specifically address the trade-offs between primary resource extraction and reclamation of resources.
