Körközetek

Körközetek is a Hungarian term that translates to "circular economy" in English. It refers to an economic model that aims to minimize waste and maximize resource utilization. Instead of the traditional linear "take-make-dispose" model, a circular economy seeks to keep products and materials in use for as long as possible. This involves designing products for durability, repairability, and recyclability.

The core principles of Körközetek include designing out waste and pollution, keeping products and materials in use, and regenerating natural systems. This approach emphasizes reuse, repair, remanufacturing, and recycling as key strategies. By doing so, it aims to reduce the environmental impact of economic activity, conserve natural resources, and create new economic opportunities.

Implementing Körközetek involves a shift in thinking across various sectors, including manufacturing, consumption, and waste management. It encourages innovation in business models, product design, and material science. Consumers also play a role by choosing durable products, participating in repair and reuse initiatives, and properly sorting waste for recycling. The ultimate goal is to create a sustainable and resilient economic system that benefits both the environment and society.
