What is the circular economy?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The circular economy refers to \"an economic model that reuses waste as a resource and minimizes environmental burden.\" In place of the conventional linear economy of \"mass production, mass consumption, mass disposal,\" it draws attention as a structure for realizing a sustainable society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the food industry, food-loss reduction, upcycled products, and recyclable packaging are representative examples of such efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The features and background of the circular economy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Definition: an economic system that regards waste as a resource and circulates it<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Background: the European Commission (EU) announced an action plan in 2015, and it spread internationally<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feature: diverse approaches such as reuse, reduce, recycle, and remake<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benefits: improved resource efficiency, reduced environmental burden, reconciling economic growth and sustainability<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trend: Japan too formulated a \"Circular Economy Vision\" in 2020, and adoption by companies and local governments is advancing<\/p>\n\n\n\n
