Circular economy is a model that reduces material use, redesigns products and services to be less resource-intensive, and keeps materials in use for as long as possible. It aims to minimise waste and environmental impacts such as greenhouse gas emissions and pollution by returning items to the product cycle after use.

Ellen MacArthur Foundation explains circular economy.
