The circular economy is an economic concept that is part of sustainable development and economic concepts inspired in particular by notions of economic permaculture, green economy, use economy or functionality economy, performance economy and industrial ecology, and which emerges as an alternative to the linear economy. This economy consists of a cycle of continuous positive development that preserves and improves natural capital, optimizes the production of resources and minimizes systemic risks by managing finite stocks and renewable flows. At the level of the European Union, the Commission has, since December 2015, adopted measures to promote and finance this type of circular economy. In addition to instilling the reuse of goods, the objective of this strategy is also to reduce energy production, thus increasing energy efficiency; adopt mobility plans that favor public transport, sustainable mobility and cycle paths; and fight surpluses.
