WHAT IS A CIRCULAR ECONOMY?

Circular economy explained

English
 * español
 * português

The circular economy is a system where materials never become waste and nature
is regenerated. In a circular economy, products and materials are kept in
circulation through processes like maintenance, reuse, refurbishment,
remanufacture, recycling, and composting. The circular economy tackles climate
change and other global challenges, like biodiversity loss, waste, and
pollution, by decoupling economic activity from the consumption of finite
resources.


THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY IS BASED ON THREE PRINCIPLES, DRIVEN BY DESIGN:

 * Eliminate waste and pollution

 * Circulate products and materials (at their highest value)

 * Regenerate nature

Underpinned by a transition to renewable energy renewable energyEnergy derived
from resources that are not depleted on timescales relevant to the economy, i.e.
not geological timescales. and materials, the circular economy circular economyA
systems solution framework that tackles global challenges like climate change,
biodiversity loss, waste, and pollution. It is based on three principles, driven
by design: eliminate waste and pollution, circulate products and materials (at
their highest value), and regenerate nature. is a resilient system that is good
for business, people, and the environment.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In our current economy, we take materials from the Earth, make products from
them, and eventually throw them away as waste – the process is linear. In a
circular economy, by contrast, we stop waste being produced in the first place.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------




We must transform every element of our take-make-waste system: how we manage
resources, how we make and use products, and what we do with the materials
afterwards. Only then can we create a thriving circular economy that can benefit
everyone within the limits of our planet.


A WAY TO TRANSFORM OUR SYSTEM

What will it take to transform our throwaway economy into one where waste is
eliminated, resources are circulated, and nature is regenerated?

The circular economy gives us the tools to tackle climate change and
biodiversity loss together, while addressing important social needs.

It gives us the power to grow prosperity, jobs, and resilience while cutting
greenhouse gas emissions, waste, and pollution.

Working with nature to make food last longer

Apeel is a company that has come up with an innovative way to eliminate
single-use shrink wrap plastic packaging on fresh fruit and veg, while at the
same time tackling food waste.

Apeel is a layer of edible, plant-based coating applied to fresh products that
mimics and enhances the natural defences of fruit and vegetables. This slows
down the two main things that cause spoilage – water loss and oxidation.
