Management
A circular economy is an alternative to a traditional linear economy (make, use, dispose) in which we keep resources in use for as long as possible, extract the maximum value from them whilst in use, then recover and regenerate products and materials at the end of each service life.
It also provides resilience through:
Sustainable consumption & production
Decoupling resources from growth
Market driven – creates wealth, jobs and growth
Delivers accountability at all levels
Meeting future demand
