“Circular Economy” is a relatively new buzz-term in the field of sustainability. What is it? It’s pretty simple: nothing is wasted. In a circular economy, everything produced through economic activity must be transferred and used somewhere else, continuously. Three principles guide this approach : firstly, design out waste and pollution; secondly, keep products and materials in use; and thirdly, regenerate natural systems.
