Circular Economy cir·cu·lar e·con·o·my /ˈsərkyələr əˈkänəmē/ noun:
An economic system focused on eliminating waste and the reuse of resources. Circular systems employ reuse, refurbishment, remanufacturing, and recycling to create a system that maximizes the reuse potential of material. This system thus minimizes the need to continually input and produce new resources, leading to a significant reduction in the creation of waste, pollution, and carbon emissions.
