A circular economy is one that focuses on sustainability and renewability, this is due to the principles of phasing out waste and pollution, keeping products and existing materials in use, as well as regenerating systems that occur naturally.

 

The industrial revolution and its jet-stream into modern day technologies and factories has damaged the environment and the ideologies of a circular economy. Things nowadays are made to be destroyed to benefit the manufacturers for profit. This is called a linear economy, as things are made from resources and then thrown away.

 

Shifting into a circular economy involves all systems to be active helpers. These systems include businesses, governments and individuals, as well as cities, products and jobs and in doing so will eventually save the planet from total pollution.
