reusing, reparing or sharing are examples of circular actions that help to build circular systems by SLOWING AND CLOSING LOOPS of materials and products minimasing resources input and waste
Make overconsumption unappealing and unnecessary
Reduce redundancy
Make product use more intensive with multifunctional products and long-lasting design
Rethinking ownership towards sharing systems
Phase-out waste, harmful emissions and the use of non-renewable resources throughout the supply chain, while increasing efficiency in product manufacturing, distribution and use
Extend usage time by one or several users until the product or material reaches the end of its service-life and its condition does not allow to fulfil the product or material original function
Mantain product functionality for longer through reparing and refurbishing so that the product or material can be used in its original functionl
Use materials from a discarded product for making new product that have the same function
Use a product or its part for a new product with a different function, also upcycling
Process material from a discarded product that in part can be used to create a new product with a function that has a lower or same quality, also downcycling
