What is a Circular Economy?

 , updated on March 28, 2023
A circular economy is an industrial system that doesn't produce any waste that can be considered pollution. This is designed to produce either biological nutrients that reenter the environment safely or technical "nutrients" that are reused or recycled. A circular economy can be designed and implemented by considering the lifecycle of industrial processes and eliminating waste. There is no way to centrally design a system this complex such that a circular economy is implemented with regulations on firms in areas such as extended producer responsibility.
