Circular Economy

The circular economy is an economic system that aims to eliminate waste and promote the continuous use and reuse of resources. It is a departure from the traditional linear economy, where products are made, used, and disposed of as waste. In a circular economy, resources are kept in use for as long as possible, and the maximum value is extracted from them through recycling, repair, and remanufacturing.

Avoiding plastic is a crucial aspect of the circular economy because plastic waste poses significant environmental challenges. Plastic is a durable material that takes hundreds of years to decompose, and a significant portion of it ends up in landfills, incinerators, or the natural environment.

Therefore eliminating use of plastic plays a significant role in the circular economy by reducing resource consumption, minimising waste generation, promoting recycling and reuse, and encouraging innovation.

By adopting sustainable alternatives and minimising our reliance on plastic, we can contribute to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly economic system.
