Sustainable Development and Circular Economy
A PECC International Project 2017-2018
(August 15, 2017)
BACKGROUND
This project is led by the French (Pacific Territories) committee for the PECC
(FPTPEC) and consists of a series of three seminars during the 2017-2018 period.
We will focus on three topics from the perspective of a circular economy and
sustainable development. These topics are: 1) the natural resources industries;
2) the tourism industry; and 3) mutual recognition of rules and standards to
facilitate trade and foreign direct investment. The project will examine, explore
and elucidate if a circular economic approach to these industries can support
sustainable economic growth across the Asia-Pacific region.
"Circular economy" promotes avoidance or reduction of waste, transformation of
waste into energy or other reusable forms, thereby closing the loop in the make-
consume-waste model ("linear economy"). "Linear economy" is a model which
relies on large quantities of cheap and easily accessible raw materials for energy.
This will obviously have limitations in the long run as natural resources are
depleted. The key aim of circular economy is to avoid entirely or reduce waste
through systemic optimization and smart management of our resources at various
stages. It promotes keeping products, components, and materials at their highest
utility and value over time. By adopting "reduce, recycle, reuse" approach
towards zero-waste, it promotes a sustainable and energy-efficient economy that
is restorative and regenerative by design.
Forum One: Natural. Resource Industries - Mining, Forestry, and Oil Et Gas
Bozeman, Montana, USA- September 20 - 23, 2017
(in partnership with Maureen and Mike Mansfield Center of the University of
Montana)
Many PECC economies depend upon revenue from natural resource utilization.
This includes a wide range of primary and secondary industries involving forestry,
mining, and oil and gas development. Natural resource extraction and the value of
these commodities can represent significant percentages of GDPs. However,
growing concern over climate change, biodiversity, and human health impacts has
resulted in an increasingly complex set of domestic and international government
regulations, interventions, and analyses concerned with enforcing sustainable
environmental policy.

d11HE UHIYERSIIY OF F.IONIANA
In response to this web of rules, regulations, laws and emerging international
treaties, many companies have begun investing in a range of innovative
approaches to achieving sustainability objectives while growing their respective
financial bottom-lines. As necessity is often the mother of invention, international
leaders in forestry, mining and oil and gas industries are utilizing technological
innovation, advances in data science, and practical solutions to achieve
competitive positioning.
These investments have at least three main features:
1) Realization it is often in the best interest of the industry to be proactive in
relationship to sustainability goals;
2) Developing a long-term strategic goal of optimizing profit with sustainability
metrics can be financially beneficial across the entire value chain; and
3) Increasing realization by primary resource industries that the global
consumer voice and buying power is playing an increasing role in commodity
value-add utilization and consumption; ignoring potential brand devaluation
by global, multinational consumer activism carries increasing risk.
Given these dynamic factors, the first seminar will bring together government,
research, business and technology leaders who are pioneering innovative solutions
to achieve economic performance within regional, national, and international
sustainability policy frameworks. This expert group will share their ideologies,
best practices, and experiences on achieving economic objectives within the
context of an increasingly challenging global regulatory framework. Specifically,
this group will address circular economic capacity in the context of their
respective industries and the reality of achieving sustainability goals.
This group will explore these topics against active international conversations,
negotiations, and endorsements of the 2016 Paris Agreement on Climate Change.
This important milestone set into motion of range of sustainability goals and
objectives that impact global economic - ecological systems and the inhabitants of
these interconnected systems. Seminar participants will be challenged to analyze,
discuss and share real-world examples of circular economic features that meet or
exceed Paris Agreement goals and process improvements. This discussion will be
conducted with the shared realization that increased dialogue, discussion, and
proactive measures will be indispensable to achieve these goals.
This first seminar will be organized in Bozeman, Montana (United States) jointly
with the Maureen and Mike Mansfield Center at the University of Montana on
September 20-23, 2017.

Natural Resources and Sustainable Mining Practices- Successes and
Challenges
The City of Butte was once known as the "Richest Hill on Earth" with
its rich deposits of minerals and metals, especially copper. The city
has since lost much of its economic luster and has been troubled by
environmental challenges, including the formation of the Berkeley
Pit as a result of flooding closed mines (see Berkeley Pit
description). Today, the pit and surrounding areas are one of the
largest Superfund sites in the United States.
The City of Butte tour will include a three-stop visit:
Hosted by: Mr. Rolin Erickson, President, Montana Resources // Mr.
Mike McGivern, Vice President of Human Resources, Montana
Resources
1) The Berkeley Pit
2) A modern open pit copper and molybdenum mine managed by
the company Montana Resources
(www.montanaresources.com) implementing environmentally
sustainable operations. The operation comprises the
Continental mine, crushers and a concentrator facility where
tons of raw ore are processed into high-quality metal
concentrates for the global market. Executives of Montana
Resources will provide overview of their operations and the
management of the Berkeley Pit.

About Berkeley Pit
The Berkeley Pit is a former open pit copper mine located in Butte,
Montana, United States. It is one mile long by half a mile wide with
an approximate depth of 1,780 feet (540 m). It is filled to a depth of
about 900 feet (270 m) with water that is heavily acidic (2.5 pH
level), about the acidity of cola or lemon juice. As a result, the pit is
laden with heavy metals and dangerous chemicals that leach from
the rock, including copper, arsenic, cadmium, zinc, and sulfuric
acid.
The mine was opened in 1955 and operated by Anaconda Copper and
later by the Atlantic Richfield Company (ARCO), until its closure on
Earth Day 1982. When the pit was closed, the water pumps in the
nearby Kelley Mine, 3,800 feet below the surface, were turned off,
and groundwater from the surrounding aquifers began to slowly fill
the pit, rising at about the rate of one foot a month. Since the pit
closure in 1982, the level has risen to within 150 feet of the natural
groundwater level.
In the 1990s plans were devised for solving the groundwater
problem. Water flowing into the pit has been diverted to slow the
rise of the water level. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
has invested tremendous resources to study the pit and for an
extensive treatment in the future as it increasingly threatens
drinking water in the region. The Berkeley Pit has since become one
of the largest Superfund sites.
