CIRCULAR ECONOMY

It is the economy designed to repair and renew.

In the circular economy, economic activity builds and rebuilds the health of the entire system. The circular economy concept recognizes the need for the economy to work effectively at all levels – for small and large businesses, for organizations and individuals, locally and globally.

It is based on three key principles:

1. Designing systems and models without waste and pollution

2. Keeping products and materials in continuous use

3. Renewal of natural systems.

Principle 1 – DESIGN OF SYSTEMS AND MODELS WITHOUT WASTE AND POLLUTION

What if waste and pollution had never been created to begin with?

The circular economy highlights and designs model systems eliminating the negative impacts of economic activity that harm human health and natural systems. This includes the release of harmful gases and substances, air, land and water pollution, as well as structural waste, such as traffic congestion.

Principle 2 – KEEPING PRODUCTS AND MATERIALS IN CONTINUOUS USE

What if waste and pollution had never been created to begin with?

The circular economy highlights and designs model systems eliminating the negative impacts of economic activity that harm human health and natural systems. This includes the release of harmful gases and substances, air, land and water pollution, as well as structural waste, such as traffic congestion.

Principle 3- REGENERATION OF NATURAL SYSTEMS

What if we not only protect, but actively improve the environment?

The circular economy avoids the use of non-renewable resources, and conserves or augments renewable ones, for example by returning nutrients to the soil that support renewal, or by using renewable energy instead of fossil waste.
