The result of the study can be summarized as follows.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The scope of circular economy goes beyond waste management&nbsp;and&nbsp;must aim at creating monetary and economic values&nbsp;from product and process&nbsp;modification. In Thailand,&nbsp;the lack of&nbsp;waste segregation at source&nbsp;is&nbsp;the major&nbsp;bottleneck of recycling, thus hampering the transition to circular economy. To drive circular economy, two approaches&nbsp;are proposed to be implemented in parallel:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Applying&nbsp;circular thinking to solve existing problems which are waste&nbsp;generation&nbsp;and&nbsp;poor&nbsp;resource-use efficiency. Although this approach&nbsp;does not create&nbsp;high economic value, it will play a critical role in conserving limited resources and&nbsp;shifting&nbsp;paradigms&nbsp;and behaviors&nbsp;in all sectors, thus building strong foundation for transitioning to new economy.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"2\"><li>Applying circular thinking to create new economy. New businesses will&nbsp;emerge&nbsp;to boost resource-use efficiency, facilitate material recycling and create green jobs and green society.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nxpo.or.th\/th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image-19.jpeg\" alt=\"A screenshot of a cell phone\n\nDescription automatically generated\" class=\"wp-image-5822\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nxpo.or.th\/th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image-19.jpeg 720w, https:\/\/www.nxpo.or.th\/th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image-19-300x169.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Changes in policy, infrastructure and public engagement need to take place in order to develop an ecosystem that will&nbsp;enable&nbsp;full transition to circular economy with less burden on the players in the value chain. The right system is needed to support businesses to come up with new products and services, modify manufacturing process, make investment in the modification of production line and develop marketing strategy for new products\/services accordingly.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Four factors were identified by the study as obstacles to circular economy. These&nbsp;are&nbsp;1) the lack of mechanism to build capacity and collaboration for transitioning to circular economy, 2) the lack of clear direction and plan for research and innovation,&nbsp;3) the lack of model cases to influence&nbsp;policy makers to make&nbsp;changes in laws\/regulations and&nbsp;create&nbsp;incentive measures,&nbsp;and 4) fragmented awareness programs&nbsp;in circular economy that do not create powerful momentum in the society. As a result, four anchor programs&nbsp;are proposed to&nbsp;develop&nbsp;an ecosystem for circular economy as illustrated in the following diagram.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nxpo.or.th\/th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image-20.jpeg\" alt=\"A screenshot of a cell phone\n\nDescription automatically generated\" class=\"wp-image-5823\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nxpo.or.th\/th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image-20.jpeg 720w, https:\/\/www.nxpo.or.th\/th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image-20-300x169.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NXPO has&nbsp;been conducting&nbsp;system research to d [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5822,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5821","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en"],"featured_image_src":"https:\/\/www.nxpo.or.th\/th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image-19.jpeg","author_info":{"display_name":"admin","author_link":"https:\/\/www.nxpo.or.th\/th\/author\/adminsti\/"},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.nxpo.or.th\/th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image-19.jpeg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nxpo.or.th\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5821","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nxpo.or.th\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nxpo.or.th\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nxpo.or.th\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nxpo.or.th\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5821"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.nxpo.or.th\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5821\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5824,"href":"https:\/\/www.nxpo.or.th\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5821\/revisions\/5824"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nxpo.or.th\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5822"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nxpo.or.th\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5821"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nxpo.or.th\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5821"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nxpo.or.th\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5821"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
