Circular Economy Explained: What Is It & Why Is It Important?
The circular economy is transforming how industries and consumers approach resource management. Unlike the traditional “take-make-dispose” model, the circular economy prioritizes reusing, recycling, and repurposing materials to minimize waste and maximize sustainability. This shift is essential for reducing environmental impact, conserving natural resources, and building resilient, sustainable economies. Klean Industries is leading the way in circular economy innovation, offering advanced waste-to-resource technologies that support global sustainability efforts.
Ellen takes us on a journey to investigate how insights from living systems might offer some answers to how we can re-design our future in a world of increasing finite materials and energy.
