What is the circular economy? Circular economy (or Circularity as it’s also called) is a model for production and consumption that aims to minimize our impact on the planet. It incorporates three core principles, which are to:

1. Design out waste (and eliminate pollution)

2. Keep products and materials in use (a continues cycle without an end)

3. Regenerate national system (and stop or minimise use of primary resource)

This differs from the traditional or ‘linear” model which follows a Take -> Make -> Waste pattern, with items ending up in landfills.
