Approaches we are looking to support
bp has also adapted an existing framework for bringing circularity to life. This framework – called CIRCLES at bp - consists of 5 approaches to improve circularity. We want to explore these approaches in terms of building and operating offshore wind farms.
Narrow (use less)
Use fewer products, components and materials during design and production, and during delivery, use and recovery.
Close (use again)
Bring post-consumer “waste” back into the economic cycle.
Inform (use data)
Use “digital” - data, technology and IT as an enabler for circularity and to support the other approaches.
Slow (use longer)
Use products and components for longer.
Regenerate (make clean)
Design products with renewable and non-toxic materials.
