Circular Manufacturing Sets New Standards for Material Life Cycle Innovation
Efforts are also underway to use normally discarded items as the foundation for new products or to change material innovations to make things easier to break down or recycle.
The Generative Economy: Imagine Circular Value Chains

Circular economy practices that prevent goods from going to landfills - by encouraging reuse or recycling - can help. However, these practices aren't always easy to implement. Brands are experimenting with Industry 4.0 technology that may streamline the circular approach.
What Does a Circular Economy Look Like in the Manufacturing Industry?
Embracing the circular economy means trading straight lines and dead ends in landfills for a true reduce-and-recycle mentality: one that lets far less material, energy and effort go to waste.
