Reduce your carbon footprint
It's time for a circular economy!
Through design, we can eliminate waste and pollution, recycle products and materials, and regenerate nature, creating an economy that benefits people, business, and the natural world.
BASICS
What is the Circular Economy?
In essence, the circular economy is an economic model designed to address the challenges of increasing resource scarcity, driven by narrowing product lifespans and escalating demand. In general, circular economies work by slowing, closing and narrowing our flows of material and resource costs, reducing material leakages in our supply chains to ultimately promote economic and circular resilience for businesses and societies across the globe.

Key ideas for a successful circular economy, including adopting sustainable business models, using technologies to create closed processes and prioritizing regenerative design.
Principles
Circular Economy is based on three principles, driven by design: Eliminate waste and pollution, Circulate products and materials (at their highest value), and Regenerate nature.
Why should we move towards a circular economy?
Reusing and recycling products would slow down the use of natural resources, reduce the destruction of landscapes and habitats, and help limit the loss of biodiversity. Another benefit of the circular economy is the reduction of total annual greenhouse gas emissions....
Butterfly diagram
The circular economy system diagram, known as the butterfly diagram, illustrates the continuous flow of materials in a circular economy. There are two main cycles – the technical cycle and the biological cycle.
