Background

     India has made the commitment to achieve the NET ZERO by 2070 and in order to avail that promotion of the Concept of Circular Economy in all level is needed.  

     The circular economy that minimizes waste and keeps materials and products in circulation for as long as possible, is increasingly regarded as a promising model for driving sustainable and resilient economic growth in both developed and emerging economies.

      A radical transformation in the way the world uses natural resources is needed to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the global climate target of 1.5 degrees and meeting the needs of future generations.

       To successfully scale circular practices and ensure the transition from a linear to a circular model leaves no one behind, an open, inclusive and collaborative approach is required.

        While waste is a significant global problem, it has the potential to generate value added products and improve the economy of the country if exploit suitably. Various conscious efforts have been taken by the companies, start-ups and Government, reducing, reusing and recycling wastes and extracting values from wastes by implementing best practices, technologies and appropriate policy framework.

      Effective management of waste will not only improve the public health and environment, but also enhance the quality of life by generating jobs, creation of new products, finally leads to Swachh, Swasth, Sashakt, Sampann and Atmanirbhar Bharat.

Objective

 The conventional understanding of economic activity is based on a linear model. Natural resources are extracted and transformed into products; the products are bought and used by consumers who, as soon as the products no longer fulfil their needs, throw them away. 

    However, this model ignores the high economic, environmental and social costs related to the extraction, transformation and disposal of resources, and is therefore unsustainable in the long term. A Circular Economy (CE) offers an alternative model where the value of products, materials and resources is maintained for as long as possible and waste is significantly reduced or even eliminated. 

            Keep resources in use for as long as possible, extract the maximum value from them whilst in use, then recover and regenerate products and materials at the end of each service life. Focused on “closing the loops”, a CE is a practical solution for living within our planetary boundaries. The transition towards a CE affects different policy areas, ranging from mobility, agriculture, land use and waste management, to business development and consumer education, concerning actors across all sectors and levels of governance. A CE is not something that any single institution or company can do alone. By its very nature, CE fosters connections across individual stakeholders and sectors. However, a transition to a CE is both a necessity and an opportunity, with the potential to offer long-lasting economic, environmental and social benefits.
