Circular economy is an economic system that focuses on the elimination of waste and on the continual use of resources. Inputs for new products come from used products, all resources are used more efficiently by being used more than once. A lifespan of a product is extended in the circular economy by reallocating waste from the end to the beginning of the supply chain. The basis of the circular economy study is a transition to renewable energy sources. Main principles of the circular economy are design out waste and pollution, keep products and materials in use and regenerate natural systems.
Sustainability is the study on continual existence of different systems. Sustainability refers to the use of resources without compromising the usage of these resources by future generations. The main principles of sustainability are based on economic, environmental and social systems. At the same time study of sustainability focuses on how natural systems function and keep the ecology in balance.
The primary principle of reaching the goals of sustainability is the efficient functioning of circular economy. The interaction of the circular economy and sustainability combines disciplines of economy, management, engineering, technology, environment and society. Interdisciplinary studies are important pieces in puzzles of solving environmental problems and of improving technological methods for the sustainable development of our world.
