Locality
The need to look for localised solutions, production and requirements will become more prioritised. This may not replace thinking globally and “macro”, which will in turn produce new challenges and opportunities at all levels of life and business.
Key Considerations
- Locality is an “old” “new idea”.
- The idea of “locality” has us return to our “roots” with a modern understanding of technology, logistics, and “sense of place”.
- The importance of locality is being driven by new economics, environment and regulatory concerns (e.g. EPR).
- It opens up new value creation opportunities.
- It is not just about “waste mitigation” it requires consideration of the “total journey” including production, use and reimagining.
