What is the circular economy and how does it apply to waste?

A circular approach begins before disposal: reduce unnecessary purchases, extend product life and plan the next use. Recycling alone does not demonstrate every purchase is circular.

A circular approach begins before disposal: reduce unnecessary purchases, extend product life and plan the next use. Recycling alone does not demonstrate every purchase is circular.

What to check

  1. Compare returnable packaging with single-use supply, including returns, cleaning and losses.
  2. Check repair or reassignment before replacing furniture and equipment.
  3. Agree material specifications with an offcut receiver before reserving storage or promising diversion.
  4. Measure purchasing, waste and cost changes. Keep environmental claims limited to what the records demonstrate.
