- Report identifies economic opportunity worth $ 630 billion (€ 487 billion)

- Online briefing: 1430 GMT

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation today launches "Towards the Circular Economy: Economic and business rationale for an accelerated transition", a new report, featuring analysis from McKinsey, that makes the case for a faster adoption of the circular economy, quantifies the economic benefits of circular business models and lays out pathways for action.

Using product case studies and economy-wide analysis, the report details the potential for significant benefits across the EU. It argues that a subset of the EU manufacturing sector could realise net materials cost savings worth up to $ 630 billion p.a. towards 2025 - stimulating economic activity in the areas of product development, remanufacturing and refurbishment.

These numbers are indicative as they only cover "sweet spot" sectors representing a little less than half of GDP contribution of EU manufacturing. They also assume the addition of only one product cycle with today's technologies.

The report focuses particularly on the business opportunity. It examines five product case studies, including one example of cascading material usage, in depth. All cases show a chance for value creation by preserving the embedded labor, energy and material costs in finished products. In mobile phones, for example, 50% of material input costs could be saved by the effective use of remanufacturing.

Considerable environmental savings are also at stake. For instance, the UK economy could save up to $ 1.1 billion (? 850 million) annually-and could reduce yearly greenhouse gas emissions by up to 7.4 million tonnes-by keeping food waste out of British landfills.

The resource intensity of the current industrial model presents economic and environmental risks. Many companies and governments are actively exploring the opportunities of efficiency and new forms of energy, but less thought has been given to systematically designing out material leakage and disposal in the first place. This, the report says, is where the case for a circular economy begins.

Dame Ellen MacArthur is hosting an online briefing, where she will briefly discuss the findings of the report, with the opportunity to ask questions via the online link. 


About the Circular Economy:

The essence of the circular economy lies in designing goods to facilitate disassembly and re-use, and structuring business models so manufacturers can reap rewards from collecting and refurbishing, remanufacturing, or redistributing products they make. http://www.thecirculareconomy.org ]]> Mon, 30 Jan 2012 11:00:00 +0100 http://www.immediapress.it/sito/rss/gira.php?id=61792 Cultura e Tempo Libero/Culture and Leisure, Economia e Finanza/Economy and Finance, Sport, http://www.immediapress.it/sito/rss/gira.php?id=61691 global@prnewswire.co.uk (Knock Out Investments BV)
Golden Glory has partnered with Total Sports Asia to form a powerful team to revive Kickboxing and resuscitate the K-1 rules scene.

The new partnership backed by a group of investors is planning for new tournaments with total prize money of US$ 1 million. This would include a 70Kg and 85kg category (USD 300K each) and a Heavyweight Category which would fight for USD 400K.

Putting up one million dollars for these three tournaments as Prize money will spring new life into the sport of Kickboxing. The partnership believes that 2012 will be the rebirth for stand up striking combat and the sport will take its deserved position alongside the ever growing sport of MMA.

The partnership recently signed and paid the outstanding money to key fighters including Gokhan Saki, Semmy Schilt, Erroll Zimmermann, Sergei Kharitonov and several others. As expected many other fighters have shown interest to sign exclusive deals in hopes to get reimbursed for their FEG outstanding payments as well as having future fights with this new powerhouse Promotion.

Bas Boon, MD of Golden Glory said: "I'm sure Aerts, Petrosyan, Buakaw Por Muak, Jaideep, Texiera and others will soon follow and sign agreements so that Kickboxing can become an international force again and resurrect the history and glory of K-1." (http://www.goldenglory.com)

The upcoming March 23rd Glory World Series event in Moscow will be televised in over 80 countries and is already shaping up to be a classic, with the return of 4 time K-1 Champion Schilt in action for the first time in over a year. Also Zimmerman taking on legend Jerome Le Banner and a battle of Iron fists is on the card when USA's Mark Miller takes on Russia's Sergei Kharitonov. Also in action are Robin van Roosmalen, Igor Jurkovic and MMA bouts involving feature fighters from many different countries including Dennis Stojnic (Bosnia), Dion Staring (Holland), Tommy Depret (Belgium).

The international MMA press listed last year's Glory World Series finals in Moscow in the top 3 fighting events of the year. Golden Glory fighters Gokhan Saki and Siyar Bahadurzada both won the $150.000- championship prize.

GG and TSA have signed up Golden Glory K-1 superstars Semmy Schilt, Gokhan Saki, Errol Zimmerman and Sergey Kharitonov to exclusive long term contracts, thus ending several disputes between the fighters and former K-1-promoter FEG about outstanding payments and discussions about acquiring the K-1 brand. "We decided to focus on the athletes again, who have dedicated their lives and careers to reach unmatched levels of martial arts skill," TSA and GG state.

The Glory World Series shows from Moscow are broadcasted in over 80 countries. Total Sports Asia will be distributing the TV rights of the event worldwide.

Wilson has expanded its long-time racket partnership with Feliciano Lopez to now include apparel and footwear, making him one of Wilson's highest ranked head to toe, exclusive tennis athletes.

The 30-year old Spaniard, who has now reached a career high ATP #20 world ranking has been playing Wilson rackets since he was a junior and will now also proudly debut Wilson's new 2012 spring apparel collection and new footwear as well as making the change to Wilson's entirely new Juice racket.

The new spring collection that Lopez will debut for the Australian Open includes the Wilson Laser Speed Crew with tri-color burn out technology for advanced cooling within a dynamic design, a Wilson Blow Away Crew with laser cut seams for abrasion resistance and total mobility, and the Wilson Tour Ikon shoe, featuring trademarked RG technology for ultimate support and durability.

Lopez is also excited to make the change to Wilson's new Juice racket that was specifically developed to further enhance power and spin.

"I've played with Wilson rackets throughout my professional career, and they consistently are innovating for us players and also making some cool looking frames," said Lopez. "Now as a head to toe Wilson athlete, I am especially excited about the style and uniqueness of the apparel and footwear collections. I have total trust in the brand and the Wilson team. With the awesome apparel and footwear, I feel well equipped to enter the 2012 season."

"Feliciano is a greatly respected player on tour, and we couldn't be more thrilled to have him now wearing our apparel and footwear," said Claire Ortiz, global business director for Wilson Apparel.

For the past seven years, Grupo Bradesco Seguros has been sponsoring the All-Star Game (Jogo das Estrelas). It is an initiative of Zico's, the athlete known internationally for his prowess in Brazil and abroad, particularly in Japan, who brings together athletes and idols of several generations of Brazilian soccer, such as Ronaldo the phenomenon, Junior, Edmundo, Careca, Rai and Biro-Biro. Socrates was the player honored this year.

To Marco Antonio Rossi, President of Grupo Bradesco Seguros, it has been an honor since 2004 for the insurer to support the All-Star Game, because "wearing the jersey of Brazil, these athletes give a demonstration of social responsibility and an example for future generations, since all the money raised through sponsorship, donations and ticket sales helps a number of charitable institutions supporting the poorest people, with proceeds allocated towards the development of education and athletics in Brazil."

Lucio Flavio de Oliveira, President of Bradesco Vida e Previdencia, emphasizes that, for the first time in seven years, the game was held in Sao Paulo, at Morumbi Stadium, on this 28th day of December, giving the event, which had always occurred previously in Rio de Janeiro, a larger forum. As he sees it, sponsoring this game is a way for the insurer to express its commitment to the future and to social inclusion]]> Thu, 29 Dec 2011 03:20:00 +0100 http://www.immediapress.it/sito/rss/gira.php?id=61482
