Circular Economy

Models that use the circularity of materials, reduce waste production, regenerate nature and break linear economy patterns through the readaptation, redistribution, or reuse of resources.
Description
The circular economy addresses global challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss, waste and pollution, based on three design principles: the regeneration of nature, the circularity of materials and the elimination of waste production.

Everything in nature is transformed and used. Nothing is wasted. Waste, on the other hand, is a human invention.

It's time to close the cycle and create a more dynamic economy that includes the reuse, redistribution and reconversion of resources. It's time for new ideas.

Types of projects that participate

Economic models of sustainable production and consumption that replace patterns harmful to the environment, with linear behavior between supply and demand: extraction, production, consumption and disposal, to one that resembles the transformations that occur in nature, thus extending the life cycle of products, rethinking from design to post-consumer life and their reintegration into the economy.
