The circular economy is emerging as a transformative solution to address the environmental and economic challenges posed by traditional production and consumption patterns. Contrary to the linear economy, which follows a “take, make, dispose” model, the circular economy seeks to design out waste and pollution, and keep products and materials in use for as long as possible. By promoting recycling, reuse, and resource efficiency, this approach not only reduces environmental degradation but also fosters innovation, job creation, and long-term economic resilience.
The upcoming World Circular Economy Forum, from 13-16 May in Brazil, presents an opportunity for PAGE to engage in global dialogues and exchanges with global leaders, innovators, and policymakers on circular economy initiatives. In 2024, PAGE rolled out its updated Strategy with the ambition to shift finance and investments for a just, circular and green economic transformation that improves human well-being. This blog explores ways in which PAGE contributes to fostering a more sustainable and circular economic framework across the globe.
