What is a Circular Economy ?
The circular economy is a system where materials never become waste and nature is regenerated. In a circular economy, products and materials are kept in circulation through processes like maintenance, reuse, refurbishment, remanufacture, recycling, and composting. The circular economy tackles climate change and other global challenges, like biodiversity loss, waste, and pollution, by decoupling economic activity from the consumption of finite resources.
The circular economy is based on three principles, driven by DESIGN:
DESIGN-out waste and pollution
Circulate products and materials (at their highest value)
Regenerate nature where possible
What is a circular city?
A circular city has embedded the principles of the circular economy across the entire urban area. Everything is operating within an interconnected network of systems that are designed to eliminate waste and pollution, circulate products and materials, and regenerate nature. There’s collaboration between citizens, government, research facilities, and businesses. And the entire city is powered by renewable energy
