The Circular Economist

I went from invisible to LinkedIn's # 1 green creator. In 2019, I had 0 social media presence. In 2024, Favikon's algorithm selected me as the # 1 green influencer to follow on LinkedIn. To my surprise, I keep ranking first on the list, 9 months in a row! 🤯 Here are 4 ways how (I think) I did it: 1) I picked a niche I could talk about every day - I am super passionate about the circular economy 2) I share everything. Trends, thoughts, wins & losses - I'm authentic, I write how I talk, I speak my mind 3) I've spent months optimising my profile - from profile to banner, to brand colors and profile picture 4) I try to inspire, agitate, educate and entertain. - ideally all together. Memes, videos & photos are all key But the biggest hack? I talk about climate in an original, and engaging way. Because I know we can fix it. But no matter your niche: Stay consistent. Visibility will follow. Share your story, your insights, and your passion. You never know who’s listening. Remember: We’re all here to make a difference. Your voice can be the one that sparks real change! _____ 👉 Follow my journey at Vojtech Vosecky. ♻️ Subscribe to my free newsletter for more in bio!

7 strategies to unlock the circular economy in 2024: (proven steps for less 🗑 and more 💸) 1. Rethink ↳ Rethink how your products are designed and sold ↳ Innovate to limit resource use and inefficiencies 2. Refuse ↳ Phase out harmful substances ↳ Work with what's already there 3. Reduce ↳ Do more with less ↳ Use less resources, energy and generate less waste. 4. Reuse ↳ Use again and again ↳ Use for longer, extend the use of products 5. Repurpose ↳ Transform waste into new opportunities ↳ Find alternatives for materials at the end of their life 6. Recover ↳ Extract value from waste streams ↳ Recover energy and materials from products 7. Recycle ↳ Close the loop ↳ When 1-6 is not possible, recycle everything again It's like cascading. If you just skip to # 7 straight away, you'll lose cash and resources. If you apply these step by step, your resource consumption will go drastically down. That translates to savings and lower environmental impact. What's your favorite one? PS: Tomorrow I will expand on this, and talk about an inspiring company that ticks these boxes.

Welcome to India's Mount Everest of garbage. We are literally trashing our planet. This is Ghazipur, the biggest landfill in India. It's higher than the Taj Mahal (73 meters). 3000 tons of trash get dumped there daily, by 400 trucks... It was supposed to close in 2002, but you know how it goes... Ghazipur is a source of deadly diseases, pollution, fires, and deaths every year. But waste is a global issue. In 2018 humans produced 2 billion tonnes of municipal solid waste. 51% of the waste was dumped or uncontrollably disposed of. 24.5% was landfilled. 13.5% was recycled. 5.5% was composted. 5.5% was incinerated In other words: only 19% of those 2 billion tons got back into the loop (composting & recycling). To stop this, we have to go circular. Minimise waste, limit consumption & close the loop. Follow the 5R strategy at home and at work: REFUSE -> REDUCE -> REUSE -> REPAIR -> RECYCLE. 👉 Hit follow for more ♻ Repost if this hits home #wastemanagement #circulareconomy #sustainability
