So my name is Jos and I’m working on research in circular economy and automotive sector, and I would like to know your point of view. If you accept, I’m going to record our conversation, transcribe it and put the transcription with a pseudonym, not with your real name in a repository of text documents that will be used for research. If we do that and you change your mind and no longer want to participate, get in touch with us and we will immediately remove your interview from the repository. I’m leaving you information sheet with contact information. If you agree, then tell me please your first name and that you agree.

Because of Toyota They gave me the vision and then I did. A work at school? Yeah. That’s. Yeah, that’s gave me a lot of ideas.
In your opinion, can a circular economy be implemented in individual sectors or industries?
Of course.
Yes. Oh yes. That scrapped cars have to be recollected and to bring to the right place to specialist dismantle. And yeah, of course. But it’s not only for cars, it’s also for washing machine for everything.
