Design zero-waste systems — keep materials in loops, eliminate disposal
🤔 What Is a Circular Economy?
A circular economy eliminates waste by keeping materials in use through repair, reuse, remanufacturing, and recycling. Unlike the linear 'take-make-dispose' model, it mimics nature where one organism's waste becomes another's resource. The goal is to decouple economic growth from resource consumption.
Why does this matter? The linear economy extracts 100 billion tonnes of materials annually, yet only 7.2% is cycled back. A circular approach could save $4.5 trillion by 2030, cut CO2 emissions by 39%, and create millions of new jobs in repair, remanufacturing, and recycling sectors.
