WHAT IS A CIRCULAR ECONOMY?

Circular economy is an economic system that is based on expanding the life cycle of products. It does so through reusing, recycling, repairing and renovating existing products as much as possible. At the end of a life cycle of a product, the materials it is made of are repurposed so they are useful again, thus playing a part in the economy for a longer time. In the circular economy model, waste from one process or sector is a valuable resource for another.
