3. The Circular Economy Concept
Maintain the economic, technical and ecological value of physical objects Material flows in a loop: after use, the product / component / material is fed back into production (= not disposed of) Fundamental change in industrial processes Necessary in world of finite resources

4. Circular Economy: preserve the value of industrial objects
