The inefficiencies of the ‘take-make-waste’ linear economy are transformed into business value by keeping resources and products in use for as long as possible The circular economy is based on three principles: Eliminate waste and pollution; Circulate products and materials at their highest value; Regenerate natural Design out waste Regenerate nature. systems We are shifting and pollution to a system The main focus of this economy is to maintain the added value where we of material while eliminating waste as best as possible.

Regenerative Economic system’s goal is to have an economy that fully regenerates any resources it uses and repairs previously done damage to the ecosystem The emergent paradigm of Regenerative ECONOMY Economy addresses the approaches for a Place - Culture - Entreprise - Government - Commons sustainable future.

The CE system aims to drive innovative actions and business models targeting sustainable economic growth while increasing resource efficiency How is the Circular Economy concept different from the Sustainability approach?

The Circular Economy is a system that creates, captures and distributes value along the value chain Indirect Value Chain Value Creation: Create economic and customer value following the three pillars of sustainability and in a manner aligned with a Circular Value Creation approach, increasing resource efficiency through product circulation beyond their Circular Value Circular Value Direct Value Chain Direct Value Chain first use phase. Creation Capture Value Capture: Turn the Value Created into profits or competitive advantage. Value Distribution: Distribute the new value from circular business models in the value ecosystem and broader Circular Value operational environment of the business.
