Circular Economy Model
A Circular Economy Model (“CE”) is “a model of production and consumption”, which involves sharing, leasing, reusing, repairing, refurbishing, and recycling existing materials and products for as long as possible”. CE aims to tackle global challenges like climate change, biodiversity loss, waste, and pollution by emphasizing the design-based implementation of the three base principles of the model. The three principles required for the transformation to a circular economy are: eliminating waste and pollution, circulating products and materials, and the regeneration of nature. CE is defined in contradistinction to the traditional linear economy. [Source – Wikipedia]
Jas P Wilson is already leading the way and demonstrating good practice with its own Circular Economy model, a model that we have been developing for years. We refurbish and recondition hundreds of used forestry and firewood machines at our workshops in Dalbeattie per year.
These machines are then sold again, extending the working life of these machines and avoiding machines from falling into disrepair and being scrapped. We also buy in used forestry harvesters and forwarders, these machines are completely stripped down, to recycle for spare parts which are then sold back into a growing global spares marketplace.
We have built up a significant stock of used spares using this method – recycling, repurposing, and reusing parts which would otherwise have been scrapped, or possibly ending up in landfill.
