Green and Circular Economy
In contrast to the straight-line economic model involving extraction, production, consumption and elimination, the green and circular economy foments the circularity of material and energy flows in the production of a specific product. The green and circular economy seeks to optimise the use of finite resources through the circulation of products, materials or energy sources to maximise their usefulness. In turn, it promotes respect for the environment and minimising the environmental impact insofar as possible from the initial phases of the production chain through to the final consumption of the product or service. Furthermore, the momentum of this sector converges with the desire of many cities to contribute to the fight against climate change by improving energy efficiency and reducing the reliance on fossil fuels, as well as greenhouse gas emissions. With this in mind, cities are introducing this concept as part of their urban management approach, promoting renewable energies, encouraging sustainable mobility, smart lighting and controlling air quality.
