what does “circular economy” mean?

The circular economy is a development paradigm that promotes the efficient use of resources, waste reduction and the regeneration of materials, transforming by-products into new raw materials for various industrial sectors. This approach opposes the linear model of production and consumption, focusing on innovation and sustainability to ensure minimal environmental impact and responsible resource management. In line with Goal 12 of the UN 2030 Agenda - “Responsible Consumption and Production” - the circular economy enables: Valorise agro-industrial by-products, transforming them into innovative and sustainable materials, reducing dependence on virgin resources. Reduce the environmental impact of production, limiting CO₂ emissions and promoting the use of renewable sources.

Optimise water management, through purification and reuse systems for a virtuous and responsible cycle.

Develop more sustainable materials, such as biofillers and biopolymers, to reduce the use of fossil raw materials and improve the biodegradability of products. Adopting a circular model means investing in a more sustainable future, in which innovation, economy and respect for the environment are integrated to create a more efficient and responsible production system, capable of turning every waste into a new opportunity.
