Why Circular Products and Materials?
Prevents the Depletion of Natural Resources:
Prevents the Depletion of Natural Resources: Today’s linear “take–make–dispose” model puts significant pressure on minerals, water, energy, and biological resources. Circular design, through the reuse and recovery of materials, reduces resource consumption and helps protect nature.
Reduces Waste and
Pollution:
The circular economy approach minimizes waste from production through post-consumption. This helps prevent soil, water, and air pollution, contributing to the sustainability of ecosystems.
Effective Against the Climate Crisis:
In material production, energy consumption, and waste management processes, circularity significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions. This makes circularity a highly effective tool for climate action.
