Remove garbage and pollution: The first circular economy principle is to eliminate waste and pollution. Right now, our economy operates on a take-make-waste basis. We use the Earth's resources as our raw materials, turn them into finished goods, and then discard the leftovers as waste.
It should be distributed: Circulating goods and materials at their peak level is the circular economy's second principle. Maintaining materials in use implies using them either as a product or, when that is no longer possible, as components or raw materials.
In order to restore nature, the circular economy's third principle is to recover nature. A circular economy supports natural processes and creates more space for nature to flourish by switching from a take-make-waste linear economy.
