Eunomia, working in consortium with WSP and the University of Leeds, led a programme of research to identify resource efficiency measures for UK industrial sectors and understand their associated challenges and opportunities. The findings are being used to update modelled emissions savings potential for resource efficiency, feeding into the Government’s modelling of carbon budget delivery pathways and informing the development of its Government’s Circular Economy Strategy.

Resource efficiency has a critical role to play in UK Government efforts to meet its legally binding net zero target and decarbonise industry. The 2021 Industrial Decarbonisation Pathway sets out how industry will cut 8 MtCO2e in emissions annually by 2035, amounting to 25% of the industrial carbon savings needed for Carbon Budget 5 (2028-32) and 20% for Carbon Budget 6 (2033-37).
Optimising material use means requiring fewer material inputs to meet society’s needs. Resource efficiency measures can reduce demand for raw materials and energy. They can also decrease waste and emissions from industrial processes and keep products and materials in circulation for longer.
