12. WHAT IS A
CIRCULAR ECONOMY?
Answer: The world’s resources are
not limitless. A circular economy
aims to keep resources in use for
as long as possible, recovering and
regenerating materials at the end
of each lifetime.
We do not live in a sustainable world. We all
know about the challenges we’re facing with
our world’s declining resources, climate change
and decline in biodiversity. And yet, as well as
having a commitment to the world we live in,
we also have a commitment to sustaining our
economies and ensuring opportunities for our
growing population. So, what is the solution to
these conflicting first world problems?
By embracing a Circular Economy, businesses
such as yours can contribute to the sustainability
of both our environment and our economy. By
reusing and recycling products you can keep
materials alive for as long as possible, you
can actively contribute to making a Circular
Economy a reality.
