Key takeaways
- The circularity rate of the global economy stands at just 6.9%, and only 2% of global investment is aligned with circular business models.
- Europe accounts for 57% of global circular investment, well ahead of the United States (21%).
- 73% of circular economy funding comes from the private sector, with 39% provided by commercial banks.
- Investment remains heavily concentrated downstream in the value chain (recycling), at the expense of upstream value-retention and value-creation models.
- Banks need to adapt their risk assessment tools to reflect the specific features of circular models (deferred profitability, residual asset value).
