The Circular Economy: A Wealth of Flows

"The Circular Economy: A Wealth of Flows," by economist Kate Raworth, presents a model where resources and materials circulate continuously, minimizing waste and reducing environmental impact. Instead of the traditional linear approach—take, make, dispose—it emphasizes reuse, recycling, and regeneration. This creates a system where products are designed for longevity, resources are kept within the economy, and natural systems are preserved and enhanced. The goal is a balanced, sustainable economy that benefits businesses, society, and the planet by maintaining a steady flow of valuable resources, reducing waste, and fostering innovation through smarter, closed-loop processes.
