How investors can get a return on rubbish

Frankfurt So far, waste has only been an annoying evil for many. More and more, however, a holistic economic concept is moving into focus – especially in view of the threatening consumption of resources and gigantic waste in all industrialized countries.

The idea behind it: There is no waste, only resources and energy, everything connected in the cycle of life. Nature is the model of the so-called circular economy – and every “waste product” is the starting point for a new development. These cycles – especially at the regional level – are the central feature of the circular economy. Companies adapt to local conditions and use locally available energy sources, for example. There are also opportunities for investors to support this trend.
