The circular economy is an innovative economic model designed to minimize waste and promote sustainability by keeping products, materials, and resources in continual use. Unlike the traditional linear economy, which follows a "take, make, dispose" pattern, the circular economy emphasizes a closed-loop system of production, consumption, and recycling. In a circular economy, products are designed with durability, reparability, and recyclability in mind, extending their lifespan and reducing environmental impact. The reuse and refurbishment of goods become central, along with recycling and responsible disposal. Circular economy principles encourage the efficient use of resources, reducing the extraction of raw materials and minimizing energy consumption. By promoting a regenerative approach, the circular economy aims to restore and replenish ecosystems affected by industrial activities. Innovative business models, such as product-as-a-service and sharing platforms, are integral to the circular economy, fostering a shift from ownership to access. Governments, businesses, and consumers play vital roles in driving the adoption of circular practices and achieving a more sustainable and resilient global economy.
