The circular economy aims to do more with less, reducing consumption, eliminating waste and creating value. It measures resource efficiency - or urban metabolism - when applied to an entire city.
More than half of global anthropogenic warming emissions arise from making the materials and products we use - this is the 'embodied carbon' and 'embodied energy'. The circular economy is one way to reduce embodied carbon/energy, by keeping products in use longer.
