Circular Economy Technologies
Circular economy technologies move away from the traditional "linear" model of consumption to a system where materials are continuously repurposed, repaired, and recycled.
Core Concept
Circular economy involves decoupling economic growth from the consumption of finite resources by keeping products and materials in use for the longest possible duration. It can also be seen as a regenerative system in which resource input and waste, emissions, and energy leakages are minimized through long-lasting design, maintenance, repair, reuse, sharing, remanufacturing, refurbishing, and recycling activities.
