The global economy has historically been based on the "Take-Make-Dispose" model, which is a linear
economy approach. In this model, raw materials are taken from the earth, used to make products,
and then disposed of as waste after use. This system leads to a high rate of resource depletion and
environmental degradation, contributing to significant waste and pollution problems. The shift
toward a circular economy is aimed at moving away from this unsustainable linear model by focusing
on reusing, recycling, and reducing waste to create a more sustainable system.
The circular economy encourages keeping materials in use for as long as possible, designing for
durability, and minimizing waste.
