Drawdown solutions include several pathways to a more circular economy, where materials already extracted, produced, and used are recovered and efficiently reprocessed into reincarnate forms or, in some cases, more thoughtfully disposed of or transformed so as not to release potent gases with significant global warming potential into the atmosphere. In some cases, simply more judicious use of materials results in significant energy savings, which mitigate emissions. In others, substituting energy-intensive feedstocks with bio-based or recovered feedstocks mitigates greenhouse gas emissions. A more circular economy will play a key role in achieving drawdown.
