Circular Economy

Our world is built on a linear system: we take resources, make products, and throw them away. This model has driven economic growth, but it also comes with raising waste, resource depletion, and environmental pressure. The circular economy offers a different way forward. Instead of designing for disposal, it focuses on designing for reuse, repair, and regeneration, keeping materials in use for as long as possible while reducing waste and environmental impact.

In our video we introduce what the circular economy is, why it matters and its origin, and how it can help build a more sustainable and resilient future. We will also mention organizations such as Arcteryx and Nike, who use the circulatory concept. Enjoy :)
