» Your trash is my treasure « - Best practice examples of the circular economy
|
| |
 |
|
What do toothbrushes, spray-foam cans and old beverage cartons have in common? They are three out of the nine best practice examples of the circular economy presented by MOVECO in its new brochure “Your trash is my treasure”.
It shows products and business models that are already successfully putting the circular economy into practice. They serve as models for companies and encourage them to engage with the topic themselves: closing material cycles, avoiding waste, using secondary raw materials, protecting resources – while at the same time saving money or developing new business ideas. The brochure and more best practice examples are available online here.
