Circular economy is NOT only waste management

The term Circular economy is both common and misused. It is a term that has become very popular in the last couple of years. At its core, it is all about resource efficiency. It can be complex, but for many, it means recycling and waste management. However, this only narrows it down to the end-of-life of a product or material but it’s much broader than that. Our guest, Michael Hanf – Lead, Sustainable Business at VTT and host of The Circular Coffee Break podcast opens up the whole meaning of Circular Economy.
