Moreover, in an estimated 60-70% of cases, exploring the additional abatement opportunity would have no effect – or would even strengthen – the industry’s competitiveness. This is because greater reliance on recycling, for example, reduces costs – and thus enhances companies’ competitiveness – while reducing emissions and driving new approaches like cross-sector innovation.
在欧洲气候基金会对特定化学产品的试点研究中，来自麦肯锡的专家确认二氧化碳排放量存在进一步减少50-75%的潜力。此外，在减排约60-70%的情况下，探索更多的减排机会将不会影响——或者甚至能增强——行业的竞争力。这是因为更多的回收利用，例如，降低成本——从而提高企业的竞争力——减少排放量会促进新手段的产生，如驱动跨部门的创新。
