Why does Circular Economy Management matter?
The EU produces over 2.1 billion tonnes of waste annually. At the same time, the traditional economic model for production and consumption (aka the “take‑make‑dispose” model) harms the planet by using up resources, destroying nature, and adding to climate change (Source).
Shifting to a circular model, prioritizing reuse, repair, recycling, and regenerative bio-based value chains, could cut global emissions by nearly 39% and restore environmental balance (Source).
