The Circular Economy
What is the circular economy?
The circular economy is a solution for industry and business at all scales to reduce, reuse and recycle waste. This solution extends beyond reducing trash in landfills, reusing products and recycling plastics. The circular economy aims to turn all wastes into a resource by reintroducing them into the production cycle instead of product disposal at the end of their useful life. The circular model is based on three principles:
• Design out waste and pollution
• Keep products and materials in use
• Regenerate natural systems
What is a linear versus circular economy?
Most production processes in the United States follow a linear “take-make-waste” approach, which has caused significant damage to our living environment over the years. With the strain on our natural resources, this outdated linear model is unsustainable.
remanufactured for new uses or the materials recovered and made into new products. By re-thinking how we produce, consume and extend the life of finite resources, materials can be recycled or leveraged further in a continuous flow, generating resource savings, protecting supplies, maintaining materials at their highest value and reducing carbon footprint. By shifting our economic models from a linear into a circular economy, we can help turn “take-make-waste” into “made to be made again.”
Why the circular economy is important
Our world is supplied with finite resources. While these resources regenerate, they are doing so at a slower rate than we as populations are extracting them. Many of those finite resources are becoming scarce — clean drinking water, quality soil, natural gas, minerals, precious metals, and more. In the past forty years, annual global extraction of materials has tripled.
“By 2050, the total demand for resources is expected to reach 130 billion tons, up from 50 billion in 2014, a 400% increase”.
By applying a circular economy model, companies can help contribute to the replenishing of Earth’s natural resources while simultaneously extracting more value out of existing materials and resources used in daily operations. Additional benefits include:
• Save money and improve price stability across your entire supply chain
• Pioneer change within your industry, satisfying changing customer needs and shifting markets
• Stay ahead of government regulations and new requirements
• Empower your employees with a message of positive change
• Gain customer loyalty and improve your brand recognition
90% of used global resources are not reused
3x the global resource use in the past 40 years
204% increase in waste production from 1960–2017
Applying the Circular Economy to your Business
When implementing circular concepts into your business plan there are certain tipping points that greatly affect the success of adoption.
Let the data drive decisions
All company structures and processes are different, each with unique opportunities to maximize efficiency and reduce waste through evaluating current resource use and applying one or more circular concept to their current process. Collect all relevant production data to gain a more holistic view of what and how resources are used in your company’s processes.
Engage Stakeholders Early
Identify both the primary and secondary stakeholders. By what parameters will the shift to circular processes be evaluated? It’s likely that your company already has goals around sustainability, but what overarching changes can be considered? These conversations must engage top stakeholders early as they will be critical in seeing the initiative through.
Consider All Forms of Circularity
The circular economy can present in many forms - its ever-evolving and a profound opportunity for creative applications of circular concepts to make an impact on not only cost savings but also our planet’s limited resources. Resource recovery, sharing models, product life extension, service as a product model, and circular supplies models all manifest circularity in different ways.
Consult with Experts
Research, conversation, and due diligence are all critical processes in the transition to a more circular business model. Environmental service companies can be useful in helping to gather the right data and see potential solutions in a new light. While there are endless combinations of circular activity, finding the right processes to implement can be challenging.

COOL BENEFITS OF SHERWIN-WILLIAMS ROOFING SOLUTIONS
When sunlight hits a BLACK ROOF
Roof Temperature: 158.5°F
When sunlight hits a UNIFLEX® WHITE ROOF
Roof Temperature: 91.5°F
ENERGY & UTILITY SAVINGS
• Significant Energy Savings. Having a white, reflective roof reduces the roof’s surface temperature by up to 100°F (black to white), significantly decreasing the amount of heat transferred into the building and reducing peak cooling demands. Higher reflectivity equals lower energy consumption and lower cooling costs.
• Cost-Saving Installation. UNIFLEX Fluid Applied Roofing Systems are typically easier to install and maintain than a conventional tear-off roof and also eliminate unnecessary construction waste. This means such projects generally cost a fraction of the price of a new roof installation.
• Tax Benefits. Because roof maintenance jobs are often deductible in the first year while most total roof replacements are not, some building owners realize a tax benefit when using UNIFLEX Fluid Applied Roofing Systems.
• Utility Rebates. Some utility companies offer rebates to building owners who conserve energy by using white reflective fluid applied roofing systems. Local utility companies can provide more details about their energy rebate programs. Further details can be found at www.dsireusa.org.
COOL ROOF TECHNOLOGY
What Is a Cool Roof?
• A roof that reflects the sun’s heat and releases absorbed heat back into the atmosphere
• The roof surface temperature is usually only slightly higher than the air temperature
Benefits of Cool Roofs Include:
• Increased occupant comfort, especially during hot summer months
• Reduced HVAC system use, resulting in energy savings
• Reduction in Heat Island Effect and smog
• Compliance with code and green building programs
• Peak energy savings and electrical grid stability
UNIGUARD ™ WARRANTY PROGRAM
Making an investment in roof restoration is an important decision. To have the added peace of mind knowing that a high-performance roof system was professionally installed by an authorized contractor and that it is backed by one of the roofing industry’s best warranties makes that decision easier.
Through the UNIGUARD Warranty Program, UNIFLEX offers both material and total system warranties for many of the different fluid-applied roofing system installations. As a business unit of The Sherwin-Williams Company, UNIFLEX systems are backed by a multi-billion-dollar organization.

COST SAVING
Uniflex® Fluid Applied Roofing Systems provide cost savings versus conventional roofing alternatives and also eliminate unnecessary construction waste. Reroofing costs can exceed $25 per square foot, while fluid-applied systems provide solutions for a fraction of the cost. It is not unrealistic to see savings of 50% or more with fluid-applied roofing systems versus conventional roofing alternatives.
USER FRIENDLY
With Uniflex Fluid Applied Roofing Systems, there is no need to close the building during installation. No hot kettles or flames are used during installation. It’s a faster, safer process, and the nontoxic formulation means no disruption to occupants and no interruption of business, which means no loss in sales.
NO TEAR-OFF MEANS NO LANDFILL FEES
Uniflex Fluid Applied Roofing Systems provide protection for the service life of the facility. The fluid-applied system is installed onto existing roofs. After the initial warranty term, typically 10-20 years, the warranty can be renewed for 10+ year terms indefinitely, with subsequent reapplication of the coating. No need to tear off, no filling landfills with waste and no landfill fees.

WASTE MANAGEMENT / RECYCLING
The Circular Economy
What is the circular economy?
The circular economy is a solution for industry and business at all scales to reduce, reuse and recycle waste. This solution extends beyond reducing trash in landfills, reusing products and recycling plastics. The circular economy aims to turn all wastes into a resource by reintroducing them into the production cycle instead of product disposal at the end of their useful life. The circular model is based on three principles:

Most production processes in the United States follow a linear “take-make-waste” approach, which has caused significant damage to our living environment over the years. With the strain on our natural resources, this outdated linear model is unsustainable.
remanufactured for new uses or the materials recovered and made into new products. By re-thinking how we produce, consume and extend the life of finite resources, materials can be recycled or leveraged further in a continuous flow, generating resource savings, protecting supplies, maintaining materials at their highest value and reducing carbon footprint. By shifting our economic models from a linear into a circular economy, we can help turn “take-make-waste” into “made to be made again.”
Why the circular economy is important
Our world is supplied with finite resources. While these resources regenerate, they are doing so at a slower rate than we as populations are extracting them. Many of those finite resources are becoming scarce — clean drinking water, quality soil, natural gas, minerals, precious metals, and more. In the past forty years, annual global extraction of materials has tripled.
“By 2050, the total demand for resources is expected to reach 130 billion tons, up from 50 billion in 2014, a 400% increase”.
By applying a circular economy model, companies can help contribute to the replenishing of Earth’s natural resources while simultaneously extracting more value out of existing materials and resources used in daily operations. Additional benefits include:
• Save money and improve price stability across your entire supply chain
• Pioneer change within your industry, satisfying changing customer needs and shifting markets
• Stay ahead of government regulations and new requirements
• Empower your employees with a message of positive change
• Gain customer loyalty and improve your brand recognition

Resource recovery, sharing models, product life extension, service as a product model, and circular supplies models all manifest circularity in different ways.
Consult with Experts
Research, conversation, and due diligence are all critical processes in the transition to a more circular business model. Environmental service companies can be useful in helping to gather the right data and see potential solutions in a new light. While there are endless combinations of circular activity, finding the right processes to implement can be challenging.
