It is a shift from the traditional 'take-make-dispose' models and offers sustainable modes for resource use and reutilization. The concept of waste is eliminated, and instead a continuous circulation of materials is envisaged. A circular system represents a systemic shift that builds resilience, creates business opportunities and jobs, enables communities and ensures good environmental performance.
