More than 90% of all natural resources that go into the production of durable goods are wasted by the point of sale. This is not fit-for-purpose; it needs to change and fast. The good news is that many industry figures are conscious of this, with some recognising the immense challenge and opportunity this brings their businesses and the wider global economy."
