In a circular economy, products, materials, and resources are kept in use for as long as possible, with a focus on reducing, reusing, and recycling. The goal is to create a closed-loop system that minimizes the extraction of raw materials and the generation of waste. Circular economy principles emphasize the importance of designing products with longevity in mind and encouraging a shift from the traditional linear “take, make, dispose” model to a more regenerative and restorative approach. Ultimately, the circular economy aims to foster environmental sustainability while also promoting economic growth.
