Exploring the Circular Economy: Sustainable Supply Chains and Materials Innovation

The world’s economy is based on a linear model: a product is created, sold to customers, used, then thrown away. But smart companies who realize the socio-economic benefits of extending their products’ lifespans are now trying to turn that line into a circle. They’re eschewing the practice of creating products with deliberately short lifespans or are difficult to repair or upgrade. Instead, they are re-examining how they manufacture products to make them more sustainable.
