The concept of 'circular economy' has gained significant traction in recent years as a sustainable alternative to the traditional linear model of 'take-make-dispose'. Unlike linear systems, which rely on finite resources and generate substantial waste, a circular economy emphasizes the continuous use of resources through recycling, remanufacturing, and sharing platforms. This paradigm shift not only reduces environmental degradation but also fosters economic resilience by decoupling growth from resource consumption. However, the transition is fraught with challenges, including technological limitations in material recovery, consumer behavior inertia, and the absence of robust regulatory frameworks. Critics argue that without systemic changes in production design and global supply chains, the circular economy remains an aspiration rather than a practical reality.
