The Circular Economy Concept
The circular economy represents a systemic shift from the traditional “take-make-dispose” linear model to one that is regenerative by design. It aims to gradually decouple economic activity from the consumption of finite resources and design waste out of the system.
Underpinned by a transition to renewable energy sources, the circular model builds economic, natural, and social capital. It is based on three principles:
- Design out waste and pollution - Viewing waste as a design flaw rather than an inevitable byproduct
- Keep products and materials in use - Designing for durability, reuse, remanufacturing, and recycling
- Regenerate natural systems - Enhancing renewable resources and creating conditions for regeneration
At TRAVIA Consultancy, we are committed to implementing circular economy principles across our projects. Our approach focuses on developing sustainable solutions that maximize resource efficiency while minimizing environmental impact throughout the entire value chain.
