What is Circular Economy:
The linear ‘take, make, dispose’ model of consumption assumes unlimited quantities of easily accessible resources (i.e., virgin materials and energy), and is not sustainable in the long run. Improving efficiency in a linear economy reduces the rate of consumption of resources per unit, but does not address the finite nature of the planet’s resources. In contrast, Circular Economy is restorative by design, relies on renewable energy, minimizes the use of virgin resources, and eliminates waste by maximizing the reuse value of materials at the end of each use. Transition to Circular Economy also has the promise to foster innovation and create a new paradigm in sustainable business enterprises.
According to the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, the Circular Economy concept is gaining traction in the US because of the opportunities it offers businesses willing to capture new value from existing operations and resources, for example by redesigning products and business models, building new relationships with customers, harnessing technology to increase the utilization of assets, and switching to renewable energy.
