    Linear Economy vs Circular Economy

    • The primary difference between a linear economy and a circular economy is the approach to resource management: linear economy is based on a "take, make, dispose" model, while circular economy is based on a "design, produce, reuse, recycle" model.

    Key Principles of Circular Economy

    • A key principle of the circular economy is designing out waste and pollution, keeping products and materials in use, and regenerating natural systems.

    Contribution to Sustainable Development

    • The circular economy contributes to sustainable development by reducing the consumption of resources, decreasing greenhouse gas emissions, and promoting the use of renewable energy.

    Benefits and Examples

    • An example of a linear economy is the fast fashion industry, which is based on a "take, make, dispose" model.
    • A key benefit of the circular economy is reducing waste and pollution, which helps to protect the environment.
