What is a Circular Economy?
Globally, nations are adopting a new sustainable development model – the circular economy (CE). At the corporate level, the circular economy is a strategic mindset that seeks to make far better use of resources. By doing so, companies can improve profitability while at the same time reducing resource footprints. At the community level, the circular economy combines that strategies of participating businesses into an integrated, collaborative model that creates more resilient communities, inspires innovation, generates new employment and fosters connected communities that are both inspiration and sustainable.
