What is Circular Economy ?

  • The circular economy is an economic model that aims to create a regenerative and sustainable system by minimising waste, maximising resource utilisation, and promoting a continuous loop of product lifecycle. 
  • Unlike the traditional linear economy, which follows a "take, make, dispose" pattern, the circular economy emphasises reducing, reusing, and recycling materials to keep products, components, and materials in use for as long as possible.
  • It includes 6 R’s - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Refurbishment, Recover, and Repairing of materials.
