What is the Circular Economy?

 
 
 

Economy literally means “household management” and comes from the Greek words oikos, meaning “house” and nomos which means “custom” or “law”.

 

Economics is the social science that studies the factors which determine the production, distribution and consumption of goods and services. The ultimate goal of economics is to improve the living conditions of people in their everyday life.
