Linear Economy

Take materials > Make which > can Dispose – if carefully managed – be safely returned
to the biosphere, either directly or in a succession of consecutive
uses. Technical cycles encompass human-made Waste materials, such
as metals, plastics and synthetic chemicals. These are made of
Technical non-renewable & Biological finite nutrients resources muddled which cannot be replenished
naturally at the speed with which they are consumed. They must
continuously cycle through the system so that their value is captured
and recaptured. This implies that industry must maximise
profits Energy through from finite the sources reuse of components and goods, instead of
the old approach that minimises the cost of recycling and goods
disposal. This can be achieved through ‘design to re-design’
approaches as well as maximising potential for reusing products
and recovering materials.
