The Circular Economy

The circular economy is a model of production and consumption that involves sharing, leasing, reusing, repairing, refurbishing and recycling existing materials and products for as long as possible, extending their lifecycle and minimising waste.

It’s based on three key principles:

  • Eliminating waste and pollution.
  • Circulating products and materials.
  • Regenerating nature.

Why does it matter?

Embracing the circular economy is crucial for sustainable growth. It reduces environmental impact, conserves resources and offers economic benefits by minimising waste and maximising resource efficiency. It’s a smart, responsible step towards a greener future.

As a reseller partner, you’ll likely find that your customers are keen to know more about the circular economy: how it can help their businesses, reduce their environmental impact and how you can help them be part of this beneficial ‘circle’.
