What is the circular economy

The issue of waste continues to get bigger and bigger each year at an alarming rate. Without drastic changes to our current model of production and consumption, waste will continue to increase, along with an increase in emissions from the waste. The pressure to change the approach on waste requires more than just recycling, it requires a new outlook on how we produce and consume with an increasingly larger population.
