    circular economy is "a model of production and consumption, which involves sharing, leasing, reusingrepairing, refurbishing and recycling existing materials and products as long as possible". A CE aims to tackle global challenges like climate changebiodiversity loss, waste, and pollution by emphasizing design based implementation of the three base principles of the model. The three principles required for the transformation to a circular economy are: eliminating waste and pollution, circulating products and materials, and the regeneration of nature. CE is defined in contradistinction to the traditional linear economy.

    The issue around our circular economy are something we can touch every day because all of us are a part of this economy. Unfortunately, we must think about our world wide and regional situation and everyone of us should find different solutions.
