Carbon dioxide emissions and the circular economy are both hot topics these days. While emissions are the problem, circular economy could be the solution, at least a partial one.
Our current economy is built on a linear model: we take the required natural resources from the ground, make products out of them, use them, and then throw them away at the end of their lives. This model is not sustainable.
The alternative is the circular model: take, make, use, recycle, reuse. Here, we extend the lives of products and use the waste they create as a resource with which to recreate similar or other products. This way, our dependence on natural resources can go down without compromising on our comforts or economic growth.
