What is a Circular Economy ?It’s simpler than it sounds – a circular economy is based on the principles of designing out waste and pollution, keeping products and materials in use, and regenerating natural systems.Why is it Important?We are disrupting the system. The linear economy has to change .We must transform all the elements of the take-make-waste system: how we manage resources, how we make and use products, and what we do with the materials afterwards. Only then can we create a thriving economy that can benefit everyone within the limits of our planet.The Circular Business ModelA circular business model articulates the logic of how an organisation creates, delivers, and captures value to its broader range of stakeholders while minimising ecological and social costs. – Design out waste and pollution – Keep products and materials in use – Regenerate natural systems. |
