The document summarizes the OECD's work on quantifying the macroeconomic impacts of transitioning to a circular economy. It notes that global material use is projected to more than double by 2060 based on current trends. The OECD's economic model can analyze how a circular transition would impact GDP, jobs, trade, and other economic factors. Recent and ongoing work focuses on issues like plastics design, digitalization, hazardous waste, and resource efficiency in supply chains. Upcoming reports will analyze the environmental and scalability impacts of circular business models and how online sales affect e-waste recycling programs.
