On the other hand, the circular economy principles primarily focus on the three R’s: reduce, reuse, and recycle. It is truly a sustainable practise that drives increased optimisation of resources, a major shrink in the utilisation of raw materials, and maximises recycling of wastes to give products a useful second life. Truth be told, the circular flow of economic activity is inspired by nature. Wondering how? Let’s explain. In nature, everything, big or small, is of good value. Waste, too, is sustainably refurbished to serve as a promising resource. Similarly, circular economy brings a well-designed and sustainable framework into the limelight. The model endeavours to keep raw materials, products, and services in a closed loop and keep them in circulation for as long as possible.
Besides, a circular economy model entails redesigning products into a more durable, reusable, and recyclable version. The process aims to recover resources at the end of a product’s lifecycle and channel them back into production. Also, it is an initiative to rethink and change the mindset around consumerism.
Karo Sambhav, an acclaimed social enterprise in the country, is dedicated to making circular economy and sustainability a movement. The producer responsibility organisation brings responsible, sustainable, and tech-enabled waste management services to the forefront and accelerates transformative solutions at scale.
The colossal amount of e-waste stands out as a larger, more pressing issue. Little did you know that scraps from electronic devices contain a slew of harsh chemicals that endanger both the environment and people's health? Mishandling electronics in landfills or ignoring an upsurge of e-waste worsens the hazardous environmental conditions.
