Despite the de-risking moves, we are still in uncharted waters and this legislation could create many unknown possibilities and challenges for industry. Given our current economic model, I worry about the degree to which this legislation will work and whether companies will look for a great deal of financial commitments to comply with it. How viable is that?

Has there been any kind of citizen engagement? What has happened to date and what does Dr. Brennan foresee happening? How can we communicate the necessity of the circular economy to citizens?
