Circular Economy
The circular economy is a system where materials never become waste and nature is regenerated. In a circular economy, products and materials are kept in circulation through processes like maintenance, reuse, refurbishment, remanufacture, recycling and composting.
The principles of circular economy are:
- Design out waste and pollution
- Keep products and materials in use
- Regenerate natural systems
The Yarn showcases our commitment to the circular economy through textile diversion projects and a waste wall.
