Within the territory of the European Union, approximately 2.5 billion tons of waste are produced. For this reason, the EU is moving towards a direction of renewal of community policies on waste.

But what exactly is the circular economy ? It can be defined as a model colombia whatsapp resource of production and consumption that involves sharing, lending, reusing, repairing and recycling materials and products for as long as possible.

In this way, the life cycle of products is extended, aiming to reduce waste. In fact, in this way, once the product has finished its function, the materials it is made of are reintroduced, where possible, into the economic cycle. Obviously, already in the design phase of a product, it is expected that the different components can then be reused.

The principles on which the circular economy is based are in contrast with those proposed by the linear economy model which is based on the availability of large quantities of materials and at the same time energy that can be found at a low price.
