What is a Circular Economy?
“In contrast to the conventional ‘take, make, and dispose’ approach, a circular economy is a production and consumption model geared towards maximising resource utilisation over an extended period.”
– Queensland Government
Benefits of a Circular Economy:
Reduced Environmental Impact
A circular economy minimises waste and pollution, conserving natural resources and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Economic Growth and Job Creation
By fostering innovation in recycling and remanufacturing, a circular economy creates new industries and job opportunities.
Long-term Sustainability
Circulating products and materials for as long as possible reduces the need for raw materials, ensuring a sustainable future.
