{"id":10529,"title":"What is circular economy?","description":"Circular economy explained","content":"<p>Circular economy is like a forest, where nothing goes to waste. Forests are complete ecosystems, where everything breaks down and returns to the system.<\/p><p>So let's start at the beginning - the design. This is probably the most important part. Products have to be designed to be remade (from old materials where possible), meaning that at the end of their long life the materials can be easily disassembled and used again. While this sounds great, it isn't enough, because waste and pollution has to be designed out as well. It doesn't mean that there is no waste at all, more likely companies work in collaboration where one company's waste is a resource for an other one.<\/p><p>In a circular economy we are going back in time while thinking forward. We are going back in time, because products were made from natural, biodegradable materials, they were made to last and got repaired not replaced (like before everything became disposable). In the same time we think forward, because we have to care for what to do with that material at the end of its life, so it can stay in the circle, rather than extracting more virgin raw materials.<\/p><p>But circular economy isn't just about designing out waste and pollution, it is so much more. It is a systematic change and a fundamental shift in how we behave and how we consume. It is about building a future, which is better for the nature, for our environment and brings positive social and economic benefits.<\/p><p><\/p><p><img src=\"https:\/\/images.teemill.com\/he5t0vvc2utievlwz0zbzbs1ls8imtmfc48t1f7eyf5ysujl.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&amp;h=auto\" alt=\"\" title=\"73534603\" \/><br \/><br \/><\/p><p><br \/><br \/><\/p><p><br \/><br \/><br \/><br \/><br \/><br \/><br \/><br \/><br \/><br \/><\/p><p><br \/><br \/><br \/><br \/><br \/><br \/><br \/><br \/><\/p><p><br \/><br \/><br \/><br \/><br \/><br \/><br \/><br \/><\/p>","urlTitle":"what-is-circular-economy","url":"\/blog\/what-is-circular-economy\/","editListUrl":"\/my-blogs","editUrl":"\/my-blogs\/edit\/what-is-circular-economy\/","fullUrl":"https:\/\/allmatters-apparel.com\/blog\/what-is-circular-economy\/","featured":true,"published":true,"showOnSitemap":true,"hidden":false,"visibility":null,"createdAt":1615824793,"updatedAt":1638991447,"publishedAt":1638991447,"lastReadAt":null,"division":{"id":53628,"name":"allmatters"},"tags":[{"id":1001,"code":"circularity","name":"Circularity","url":"\/blog\/tagged\/circularity\/"}],"metaImage":{"original":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/yb6s0avi74fuoz1dnnc9fbtfyvx73tqud020rnucl4cfzwrk.jpeg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/yb6s0avi74fuoz1dnnc9fbtfyvx73tqud020rnucl4cfzwrk.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&h=855","banner":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/yb6s0avi74fuoz1dnnc9fbtfyvx73tqud020rnucl4cfzwrk.jpeg.jpg?w=1920&h=1440"},"metaTitle":"","metaDescription":"","series":[],"similarReads":[{"id":8808,"title":"The importance of a circular economy","url":"\/blog\/the-importance-of-a-circular-economy\/","urlTitle":"the-importance-of-a-circular-economy","division":53628,"description":"In our very first blog post we would like to share our thoughts on a circular economy and why we think that it is important.","published":true,"metaImage":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/xdqpfmesw9jkjd6wdugllykfmr0fwe5qcuonyjxx9kgsunfv.png.jpg?w=1140&h=855","banner":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/xdqpfmesw9jkjd6wdugllykfmr0fwe5qcuonyjxx9kgsunfv.png.jpg?w=1920&h=1440"},"hidden":0},{"id":10591,"title":"Why should we adapt to a circular economy?","url":"\/blog\/why-circular-economy\/","urlTitle":"why-circular-economy","division":53628,"description":"we think that being sustainable isn't enough anymore","published":true,"metaImage":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/ddyno5wzk8etwkbxak93svmuw8fwbsjhzmhe5aqyzguprqly.png.jpg?w=1140&h=855","banner":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/ddyno5wzk8etwkbxak93svmuw8fwbsjhzmhe5aqyzguprqly.png.jpg?w=1920&h=1440"},"hidden":0}],"labels":[]}
