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.”

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.
