Important tips of Circular Economy Concepts
- Product cycle
Waste products should be the raw materials for another process: either a by-product or recovered resource for another industrial process.
2. Recycling opportunities
Environmentally friendly choice of materials or product packages should be used in business enterprises to offer recyclable by-products to be used for other industrial processes.
3. Close-loop system
The system should be minimizing the use of resources and the creation of waste in such a way for created waste should be a product again instead of being dumped.
