For the UK, these impacts translate into growing waste complexity, pressure on recycling infrastructure, and the need for secure, transparent material flows. This presentation explores how weaknesses in global supply chains undermine circular economy goals and argues for a coherent approach linking responsible sourcing, traceability, and ethical procurement with robust end-of-life recovery and high-quality recycling—essential steps to reduce harm, strengthen resource security, and build a resilient materials system.
