Transitioning to a Circular Economy through Chemical and Waste Management

With thousands of industrial chemicals being marketed worldwide, and new chemicals becoming more complex, it is increasingly clear that a robust life cycle management system for chemicals and waste and a systematic approach towards a circular economy is required. A circular economy eliminates waste and pollution, keeps products and materials in use and regenerates natural systems. This publication describes UNDP's interventions on Chemicals and Waste Management, which aim to achieve circularity.
