“ Circularity can save the environment while driving innovation and growth ”
DHL is also vocal on the importance of circular supply chains . It recently published a paper called ‘ Delivering on Circularity ’, which focuses on the fashion and consumer electronics industries – both cornerstones of the e-commerce boom . In his foreword to the paper , Deutsche Post DHL Group CEO Frank Appel says the signs of climate change and environmental damage “ are alarming and increasingly visible ”.
He adds that , although a shift to renewable energy is important for curbing climate change , every industry must also “ examine what they can do in their specific case ”.
Circularity , he writes , is the likeliest source of “ complementary strategies that addresses the impact of both emissions and waste ”.
Appel feels circularity “ holds the promise of saving the environment while driving innovation and growth ”.
