 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~A circular economy (CE) is a model of production and

consumption which involves sharing, leasing, reusing, repairing,

refurbishing and recycling existing materials and products as long as

possible. It is a resilient system that is good for business, people and the

environment.

Economy with legislation, action plans and through private sector

innovation.
