” More than a third of earth’s natural resources have been destroyed by humans in just thirty years.”
People and the planet in the cycle of life are interdependent. There is now an imbalance caused by overconsumption and waste in daily living. The linear based economy is a strain on the resources of the planet and the environment. Global warming, increase in pollution, emissions are real problems and challenges today. Both society and businesses need to make adjustments to counter the effects and find more sustainable solutions.
One way of doing this is a circular economy model. A system based on increasing the longevity of products by recycling. The continuous loop of remaking and reusing not only reduces waste but becomes a resource.
Out of necessity, we are redesigning a better way of living. Using a regenerative approach can help to reduce wastefulness and is more sustainable. In a circular economy, there are new opportunities in managing waste. It might not be a fix for all things but a shift in the right direction.
