Transitioning from the linear 'take, make, use and dispose' economic model to a circular economy approach, to reduce the number of raw resources extracted and keep resources in circulation for as long as possible.

In a circular economy, products and materials are kept in circulation through processes like maintenance, reuse, refurbishment, remanufacture, recycling, and composting.

The circular economy helps address issues like climate change, biodiversity loss, waste, and pollution by separating economic activity from the use of limited resources.
