A circular economy keeps materials in use for as long as possible and diverts products from going to landfill. It includes practices like reduce, reuse, repurpose, repair and recycling of products to avoid waste in the first place and ensure materials remain in use for as long as possible. For example, using a reusable coffee cup instead of purchasing a disposable cup each time is contributing to a circular economy.
A paper cup recycling trial is being run at Melton City Council between August 2024 to June 2026. For more information visit: Coffee Cup Recycling Trial.
A great way to reduce your environmental impact and embrace a circular economy is repairing or upcycling items that need to be fixed, instead of throwing them away. This not only reduces your carbon footprint but also saves you money.
