Part 2/12:
The circular economy offers a paradigm shift rooted in three core principles:
Design out waste and pollution: Products are created with their entire lifecycle in mind, enabling reuse or recycling.
Keep materials in use: Items are kept circulating for as long as possible, either in their original form or repurposed.
Regenerate natural systems: Practices support the replenishment of the environment, promoting biodiversity and ecosystem health.
Applying these principles opens economic opportunities worth trillions while addressing critical challenges like climate change, biodiversity loss, and plastic pollution.
