La transition vers une économie plus circulaire ne peut se faire sans un changement de perception de la valeur économique des déchets. Considéré non plus comme une contrainte et une charge de fonctionnement pour l’entreprise mais comme une source génératrice de valeur, le déchet peut se voir attribuer une valeur économique positive.
La technologie blockchain peut être utilisée pour accélérer ce changement de valorisation, favoriser la réutilisation et le recyclage des déchets, en renforçant la traçabilité sur toute la chaine de valeur. L’attribution d’une identité numérique unique aux déchets et aux ressources naturelles, garantir la provenance de l'énergie, ou encore fiabiliser la comptabilité carbone sont autant d’éléments permettant de favoriser la transition vers une circularité de notre économie.
Le 13 décembre, la Fédération française des professionnels de la blockchain vous invite à découvrir un rapport mettant en lumière les opportunités offertes aux acteurs de l'économie circulaire par la technologie Blockchain, encore trop sous-estimées à ce jour.

The textile industry’s figures are clear: of the 648 000 tons of textiles placed on the market each year in France, only 38% are collected for recycling.
The 10 proposals set out in this white paper (in French) seek to meet three objectives. The first consists of building the Extended Producer Responsibility approach around environmental benefits. The second is to support the development of a sustainable textile and footwear recycling industry. The last is to meet the legitimate expectations of transparency and traceability. The proposals aim to achieve these objectives in the context of the three key steps in a product’s lifecycle: (1) fabrication, (2) consumption, and (3) regeneration.
The framework for inclusive circular trade is designed to help guide trade and trade-related circular economy and development policies, practices and agreements to ensure these all work towards a shared goal of an inclusive circular economy.
This paper sets out a framework for inclusive circular trade, intended to enable a pathway in which circular trade helps to promote fair, inclusive and circular societies. The framework was developed through the work of an alliance of organizations spanning Africa, Southeast Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, and Europe.
