Will the fifth Industrial Revolution Be Circular?
summary
Argues that circularity must reimagine production systems as a fifth Industrial Revolution, not just better recycling, and shows concrete work: a Catalan steelmaker assembles diverse firms, maps local loops and low‑carbon tech to unlock over €1 billion value by treating one company’s waste as another’s feedstock. Calls for new metrics and data to price health and soil benefits, rethinking finance and even central bank frameworks; the steel consortium still lacks a funder.
