1. In a circular economy, almost nothing is wasted
In a circular economy, almost nothing is wasted. Re-use and re-manufacturing is standard practice, and sustainability is built into the fabric of that society. There is less waste to deal with, and more is generated from limited resources. The new technologies created then bolster the competitive position on the world stage. Our challenge is to place the European Union at the forefront of these developments. Karmenu Vella, Commissioner Environment, Maritime Affairs & Fisheries Brussels, 05 March 2015

2. What is circular economy?
Circular economy is about:
keeping resources at their highest possible level of value at all times
eliminating the very idea of waste
leaving ”enough for all forever”
