Circular Economy
The circular economy is a transformative model for economic growth that prioritizes sustainability and resource efficiency. Unlike the traditional linear economy, which follows a "take-make-dispose" approach, the circular economy focuses on keeping resources in use for as long as possible, extracting maximum value from them while in use, and recovering and regenerating products and materials at the end of their lifecycle.
