körgazdaság

Körgazdaság, also known as circular economy, is an economic model that aims to eliminate waste and pollution, circulate products and materials at their highest value, and regenerate nature. It contrasts with the traditional linear economy, which follows a "take-make-dispose" model. The core principles of a körgazdaság include designing out waste and pollution from the outset, keeping products and materials in use for as long as possible through reuse, repair, remanufacturing, and recycling, and regenerating natural systems. This model emphasizes a shift from ownership to access, promoting service-based business models. It seeks to decouple economic growth from the consumption of finite resources by prioritizing renewable resources and biological nutrient cycles. The implementation of körgazdaság involves various strategies, such as product longevity, modular design for easier repair and upgrades, and the development of sophisticated reverse logistics systems. It requires collaboration across supply chains and a rethinking of consumer behavior. Ultimately, körgazdaság aims to create a more sustainable and resilient economic system that benefits both the environment and society.
