What is the circular economy?
In a circular economy, things are made and consumed in a way that minimizes our use of the world’s resources, cuts waste and reduces carbon emissions. Products are kept in use for as long as possible, through repairing, recycling and redesign – so they can be used again and again.
At the end of a product’s life, the materials used to make it are kept in the economy and reused wherever possible.

Why is the circular economy important?
The circular economy is an alternative to traditional linear economies, where we take resources, make things, consume them and throw them away. This way of living uses up finite raw materials and produces vast quantities of waste.
For example, the European Union produces more than 2.5 billion tonnes of waste a year.

What changes could make the world more ‘circular’?
Consumers, businesses, and politicians all need to make changes.
- Ideas to create less emissions include adopting a plant-based diet and buying food locally, as well as flying less often and sharing vehicles.
- Homes, offices, and other buildings can be designed to have multiple uses. For example, an office space that is also a community centre and night school.
- It should also be easy and affordable to repair products, such as a mobile phone with an old battery.

Is recycling part of the circular economy?
Recycling involves converting waste materials into new materials and objects. This process itself uses energy and creates emissions, so can still contribute to global warming.
In an ideal circular economy, products are redesigned so they last through several life cycles – rather than being immediately recycled. This can include refurbishing and redistributing products.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
