Circular Economy & Sustainable Materials

A circular economy is an economic model designed to minimize waste and make the most of resources by keeping materials in use for as long as possible. Instead of the traditional “take–make–dispose” approach, it emphasizes designing products for durability, repair, reuse, and recyclability. Sustainable materials play a key role in this system—they are sourced responsibly, have lower environmental impacts, and can be efficiently recovered or regenerated at the end of their life cycle. Together, circular economy principles and sustainable materials help reduce pollution, conserve resources, and support long-term environmental and economic resilience.
