Producers must rethink
And the President of the Confederation goes on to conclude: "A rethink is needed today. Both consumers and producers must reduce their demand for materials, natural resources and products. Specifically, we need a more sustainable economic system. But recycling alone is not enough!" That's why, for President Parmelin, the answer is the circular economy.
