A new report has revealed that 80 investments with a combined value of more than £500m have been made in the circular economy during the first half of 2022.
This is according to the Scottish mergers and acquisitions team at accountancy firm BDO, which has produced a report into the model which involves sharing, leasing, reusing, repairing, refurbishing and recycling existing materials and products as long as possible.
Its analysis showed that on a UK-wide basis, more than £1.5bn of capital has been deployed into such businesses over the past four years. This accounts for a total of 296 investments across equity and debt.
