Circular Economy

Circular economy refers to a development model in which emphasis is given in expanding the lifetime of products, reducing the consumption of non-renewable resources and promoting the reuse, recycle and recovery of energy and materials consumed. This development approach enables sustainable growth, with multiple benefits for the society, the economy and the environment, while requiring changes to entire value chains, from the design up to final consumption of products.
