Title: Circular economy
Content:
The circular economy replaces the linear "take-make-dispose" model with closed-loop systems that continuously reuse, repair, and recycle materials. It aims to design out waste, keep products in circulation longer, and regenerate natural systems, decoupling economic growth from resource consumption while reducing environmental impact.
Learning Outcomes:
Minimize waste and pollution:
Design out waste and pollution from the start rather than managing it after creation.
Keep products and materials in use:
Maximize resource efficiency through reusing, repairing, refurbishing, and recycling to extend product lifecycles.
Regenerate natural systems:
Restore ecosystems and shift from finite resources to renewable energy sources.
Decouple economic growth from resource consumption:
Create economic value while reducing environmental impact and resource dependency.
