Futuristic side of the economy

       Climate change, environmental problems and the risk of collapse of the natural structures of the planet allow the Green and Circular Economy to be the main solutions to the need for an urgent and innovative reinvention of the organization of the world economy. This futuristic side of the economy will be based on the sustainability of natural resources with the objective of achieving a true and profound balance of relation and connection between nature, the human being and the economy.

Plastics Recyclers Europe

"A circular economy could increase the efficiency of primary resource consumption in Europe and the world. By conserving materials embodied in high value products, or returning wastes to the economy as high‑quality secondary raw materials, a circular economy would reduce the demand for primary raw materials. This would help reduce Europe's dependence on imports, making the procurement chains for many industrial sectors less subject to the price volatility of international commodity markets and supply uncertainty due to scarcity and/or geopolitical factors."

Climate Change

Probably one of the main problems of climate change is in the current economic model, the linear economy. The process based on resource extraction, production, distribution, consumption and waste is causing unbalance in the environment of planet earth.
Now we need making the built environment more resiliente and introducing a perspective of mitigation, adaptation and investment for the Green and Circular Economy.
