The circular economy is rethinking our production and consumption patterns to limit waste and thus optimize the use of our resources. The old economic model of extracting, producing, consuming, and disposing can no longer apply if we want to protect our planet. To effectively reduce its disastrous environmental consequences requires a change in the economy. Making the circular economy, therefore, means repairing, recycling, and reusing instead of throwing away, but also understanding the limits of natural resources.
Change of model on the fly
Becoming aware of the need for this economic change is imperative for the well-being of our environment. A circular economy, therefore, prevents waste by encouraging reuse, particularly through recycling. Plastic is not our enemy if we adopt new habits. This new economic model is developing but is not yet the officiel model in place. We have an important role to play in making this transition possible.
Definition of the circular economy
The economic system aims to produce in a sustainable way while limiting consumption and waste. This concept also introduces the creation of new jobs and the generation of new activities. In an economy of this sort, production and consumption are regulated in such a way that products can be reused, repaired, and recycled. Throwing and wasting are no longer trivial acts today and it is deplorable that they have been.
