Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a linear economy and a circular economy?
In a linear economy, resources are extracted, processed into products, and then discarded as waste at the end of their useful life. In a circular economy, resources are kept in use for as long as possible, through strategies such as recycling, reuse, and repair.
How can businesses transition to a circular economy?
Businesses can transition to a circular economy by adopting circular economy principles, such as designing for circularity, sourcing sustainable materials, reducing waste, increasing reuse and recycling, and investing in circular innovation and R&D.
