Topic Description:

In today's world of manufacturing raw materials are taken from the environment , turned in to new products which are then disposed after use. This is a linear process with a being and an end and in this process limited raw materials will eventually run out. Also waste accumulated in this process incurs additional expenses related to its disposal and pollution .

In a circular economy however products are designed for durability, reuse and recyclability. In this process almost everything is reused, remanufactured, recycled back in to a raw material or used as a source of energy.
