CIRCULAR ECONOMY HUB Benefits of the circular economy

 

 

Progressing towards a more circular economy —in line with European guidelines— will bring major benefits. These include a reduction in pressure on the environment, improvements in the supply security of raw materials, an increase in competitiveness and innovation and a growth in employment. Additionally, consumers in a circular economy have access to more durable and innovative products, with all the resulting financial savings.

By its very nature, the circular economy addresses the environmental challenges faced by society at large, by generating new business models and new jobs that will have a positive impact in reducing carbon emissions and the impact of climate change.
