Embracing circularity not only improves resource efficiency and saves money but also enhances business resilience in the face of global challenges. To gain insights into key
trends, perceptions, and attitudes towards circularity, ABB Motion conducted a survey in October 2023, involving 3,304 senior industrial decision-makers from diverse sectors
and countries. The findings demonstrate that businesses now view circularity through a comprehensive lens that surpasses conventional recycling practices. This broader perspective encompasses waste reduction, sustainable design, and the development of resource-efficient processes. However, much work remains to establish a common understanding and metrics for circularity across industries as 91%are currently being impacted by resources scarcity
