Circular Economy vs Linear Economy

(Our current) Linear Economy: Driven by the goal to sell as much as possible, single-use waste goes into landfills after being produced with virgin resources. 

Circular Economy: Items are made for longevity, the ability to be repaired, and eventually repurposed. Consider “resale, reuse, and repair”.

Why: Switching to a circular economy could reduce carbon dioxide emissions 48% by 2030.
