Circular Economy
The Circular Economy is an economic model that emphasizes the sustainable use of resources by promoting the reuse, recycling, and regeneration of materials throughout the product lifecycle. It aims to minimize waste and environmental impact by designing products that are durable, repairable, and recyclable, thereby creating a closed-loop system. This approach fosters innovation in product design and production processes, encouraging businesses to rethink traditional linear consumption patterns for a more sustainable future.
