Inadequate solid waste management threatens human health and the environment—and represents a missed economic opportunity to create jobs and recover the value of discarded materials. Abt Global works with clients to promote a circular economy—a systematic approach to reduce the health, environmental, social, and economic impacts of solid waste through the design of restorative and regenerative materials, products, systems, and business models. We align our clients' resource management strategies with key principles of sustainable consumption and production. We also integrate environmental justice, environmental and economic sustainability, and equity concerns into the design and implementation of circular economy projects.
