The Ultimate Guide to the Circular Economy

What is the Circular Economy?

The circular economy is a systems solution framework that tackles global challenges like climate change, biodiversity loss, waste, and pollution. It is based on three principles, driven by design:

• Eliminate waste and pollution
• Circulate products and materials (at their highest value)
• Regenerate nature

The Role of Industrial Symbiosis

Industrial symbiosis is a key enabler of the circular economy. It involves the exchange of materials, energy, water, and by-products between companies. What is waste for one becomes a resource for another.

SymbioFlows facilitates these connections using AI, making it easier than ever to close the loop.
