👏🏻 Peter Seeger, an American folk singer and social activist in his time also knew the importance of having a circular economy.

♻️ Having a linear system of production can no longer continue as this leads to overexploitation and minimal use of the limited natural resources we have.

🌍At Yunus Environment Hub, we believe in a world where the practice of a circular approach to production in all sectors of the economy is the order of the day.

We are proud to endorse the Ellen MacArthur Founda

We are proud to endorse the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s call for the implementation of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for packaging, together with +150 leading businesses and organizations.

We need a circular economy for packaging, in which it never becomes waste or pollution. Packaging that cannot be eliminated or reused must be kept in circulation - in the economy, out of the environment.

For this to happen, we need dedicated, ongoing, and sufficient funding for collection, sorting, and recycling. EPR is the only proven and likely way to achieve this, and prevent tens of millions of tonnes of packaging from ending up in the environment every year. We are ready to step up and be part of the solution.
