Circular economy: can it stop climate change?

According to Gustavo Copelmayer, climate change is a global challenge that has no borders. This has long been a matter of concern, as it disrupts natural processes and puts ecosystems at risk, and if action is not taken, there will be no turning back.

The circular economy is a strategy based on the environment, which aims to reduce the production of virgin materials and the production of waste, closing economic flows and proposing a new way of extracting materials that were previously taken from nature, to now extract them from products that could no longer be reused, whose parts are optimized to be processed again.

Thus, reducing urban waste by up to 65% by 2030. Since we would be greatly avoiding extracting materials from the planet’s resources.
