Core Principles of a Circular Economy

1. Design out waste> Design for disassembly and reuse

2. Commit to renewable energy to fuel entire product lifecycle

3. Shift from “Consumers” to “Users”> Purchase the use of the product > Durable products: leased/rented/shared> When sold, incentives ensure returns
