What is a circular economy?
The circular economy is a model designed to minimise waste and make the most of resources. Unlike the traditional linear economy, which follows a "take-make-dispose" pattern, the circular economy emphasises sustainability through seven principles:
- Reduce
- Reuse
- Recycle
- Redesign
- Repair
- Renew products
- Recovery for reuse into a new product.
Applying circular economy principles aims to create a more sustainable approach to reducing environmental impact, conserving resources, and creating innovations.
What sort of things can I apply for under the circular economy category?
1. Repair and refurbishment initiatives:
- Establishing community repair cafes or workshops.
- Refurbishing and/or reselling used electronics, furniture, or appliances.
2. Recycling and upcycling programs:
- Innovative recycling programs that transform waste materials into new items.
- Upcycling initiatives that creatively repurpose waste materials into new items.
3. Sharing and leasing platforms:
- Platforms for sharing items such as tools, equipment, or vehicles within the community.
- Leasing models for products like clothing, electronics, or furniture.
