Research identifies at least 114 definitions of the circular economy, but the EU Commission describes it as a system where resource use is minimized, and products are designed to last longer, be reused, and recycled. The goal is to reduce raw material extraction, waste, and greenhouse gas emissions while preserving the value of materials and products.
