Circular Economy
The circular economy is a regenerative model that cuts waste, saves resources, and reduces environmental impact. By keeping products and materials in use through reuse, repair, and recycling, it helps businesses unlock long-term value, build resilience, and lead the shift to a low-carbon future.
❖ Design for Longevity
Create products that are durable, repairable, and upgradeable to extend their useful life and reduce turnover.
❖ Use Sustainable Materials
Select renewable, recycled, or biodegradable materials to reduce resource depletion and environmental harm.
❖ Optimize Resource Efficiency
Minimize the use of energy, water, and raw materials in production and operations to reduce waste and emissions.
❖ Enable Reuse and Redistribution
Develop systems to collect, refurbish, and redistribute used products or components for extended value and accessibility.
❖ Facilitate Recycling
Design products for easy disassembly and materials separation to enhance recyclability at end-of-life.
❖ Recover Energy from Waste
Where reuse and recycling are not feasible, utilize safe and efficient waste-to-energy solutions to reduce landfill dependency.
❖ Regenerate Natural Systems
Support ecosystems restoration and biodiversity through composting, regenerative agriculture, and sustainable sourcing practices..
❖ Promote Circular Business Models
Adopt innovative strategies such as product-as-a-service, take-back programs, leasing, or sharing platforms to reduce waste and drive circular value.
