In this section of the ICOMIA Sustainability Hub, we signpost links to resources that feature work being done around materials & manufacturing.
Circular Economy
The circular economy is a systems solution framework that tackles global challenges like climate change, biodiversity loss, waste, and pollution.
In our current economy, we take materials from the Earth, make products from them, and eventually throw them away as waste – the process is linear. In a circular economy, by contrast, we stop waste being produced in the first place.
The circular economy is based on three principles, driven by design:
- Eliminate waste and pollution
- Circulate products and materials (at their highest value)
- Regenerate nature
