The circular economy means that products and materials are used, repaired, reused and recycled for as long as possible. Resources are not simply consumed, but kept in closed loops to minimize waste.

Instead of a linear “take, use, throw away” model, it relies on sustainable production and consumption methods.

Companies develop durable products that are easy to repair or recycle. Consumers contribute to the circular economy through conscious shopping and correct disposal. Ideally, politics and industry work together to make recycling processes more efficient and avoid wasting raw materials. The goal is a resource-conserving, environmentally friendly economy that reduces the burden on the planet.
