What Is Circular Economy ?

The concept of a circular economy is a model of production and consumption, which involves sharing, leasing, reusing, repairing, refurbishing, and recycling existing materials and products as long as possible. In this model, the life cycle of products is extended, which significantly reduces waste. It contrasts with the traditional linear economy, which has a 'take, make, dispose' model of production.

Here are key points about the circular economy:

 

Why Is It Important ?

​

Designing Out Waste and Pollution: By designing products to last longer and be reused, recycled, or repurposed, the circular economy aims to prevent waste from being created in the first place. This involves innovative design and manufacturing processes.

 

Keeping Products and Materials in Use: A circular economy promotes a shift from ownership to access, meaning consumers may lease or share products instead of owning them. Products are designed for durability, reuse, and reparability, thereby keeping them in use for as long as possible and maintaining their value.

 

Regenerating Natural Systems: Instead of depleting resources, a circular economy aims to enhance natural systems. This can be achieved through practices like composting, which returns nutrients to the soil, and by choosing materials that have less harmful impact on the environment.

 

Redefining Growth and Focus on Positive Society-wide Benefits: It challenges the notion that economic growth can only happen with increased resource consumption. The circular economy focuses on positive society-wide benefits, which include creating new jobs, fostering innovation, and reducing environmental impacts.

 

Use of Renewable Energy: To fully realize the benefits, the circular economy also involves shifting to renewable energy sources, thus reducing dependency on fossil fuels and decreasing greenhouse gas emissions.
