What is circular economy?
Circular economy is a global approach to production, consumption, and waste management. It seeks to create a system where materials never become waste and nature is regenerated. In a circular economy, production of harmful products like plastics is kept at a minimum, existing products are kept in circulation for as long as possible through processes like maintenance and reuse, and waste is managed in a way that doesn't cause further harm to the environment. Circular economy tackles climate change and other global challenges, like biodiversity loss and pollution, by decoupling economic activity from the consumption of finite resources. Read more...
The circular food systems ladder
The circular food systems ladder
The circular food systems ladder illustrates how we can create more value from food resources by prioritizing their highest and best use. Inspired by Moerman’s Ladder, this model highlights a hierarchy of actions—from repurposing food for human consumption, such as turning overripe tomatoes into ketchup, to transforming waste into animal feed, new products, organic fertilizers, and finally, renewable bioenergy. Each step ensures that nutrients, materials, and energy are kept in circulation for as long as possible, reducing waste and promoting a regenerative food system. Read more...
