Linear Economy

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.

Circular Economy

The circular economy is a system where materials never become waste and nature is regenerated. In a circular economy, products and materials are kept in circulation through processes like maintenance, reuse, refurbishment, remanufacture, recycling, and composting. The circular economy tackles climate change and other global challenges, like biodiversity loss, waste, and pollution, by decoupling economic activity from the consumption of finite resources.

Circonomy 101: A beginner’s guide to Circular Economy by Saahas
Circular Economy as a concept has the potential to address most of the sustainability challenges plus generate local and empowering livelihoods, increase consumer and producer accountability and even improve cohesion in the society. The reason this idea is so powerful is because this is how nature manages its resources and runs the world where every end circles back to another start and where every species has an equally important role and they are all interdependent. This playbook is an attempt to stimulate and engage the young minds with the key aspects of Circular Economy. The book explains the core principles through easy local examples and further reinforces those with interesting hands-on activities. There is a lot that each one of us can do to kick start the wheels of Circular Economy and this playbook nudges us to look around and take those small steps towards big impact.
