Today, our world relies mainly on new materials. This means that for everything we need – a new shirt, a new cell phone, a bottle of water – most materials come from the earth, are used and then thrown away. In other words, they end up in the landfill where they remain for years, polluting the environment. This is how the linear economy works.
Materials that return to the global economy -or even our household’s economy- after the end of their initial use and life, are available resources, otherwise known as secondary materials. In this way, we don’t always need new ones. It is this transition to a circular economy that we target and put into practice through our projects, simple, everyday, applicable solutions, in materials, food, water, energy and other resources.
