Imagine borrowing a book from a library instead of buying a new one every time you want to read it. The same book creates value for many people instead of being used once and forgotten.
That's the idea behind a circular economy: keeping products and materials in use for as long as possible through reuse, repair, refurbishment, and recycling, rather than following the traditional "take, make, dispose" model.
Sometimes, the simplest examples are the ones that make the biggest ideas easier to understand.
How do you explain the circular economy to someone who's never heard of it?
