End of Life and the Circular Economy Explained
A product’s end of life refers to its retirement from the market, which is imperative to the product’s overall sustainability. This notion is recognised by governing bodies such as the European Commission who state the best way to manage a product’s sustainability is through moulding the product to the circular economy .
The team at Brandelity are predicting an increase in demand for products with a sustainable end of life as more and more companies strive to fit into the circular economy. This means a weighted importance on products that can eliminate waste, keep materials in use and regenerate natural systems.
The Benefits of a Circular Economy are Undisputed
The circular economy is a sustainable alternative to the linear economy which has the traditional view of take-make-dispose. A product’s end of life can be considered part of the circular economy when it can either be repaired, refurbished or fully recycled. By adopting the circular economy, we have the opportunity to tackle the climate crisis by decreasing the use of scarce resources, which will build business sustainability. This idea contradicts the linear economy as it pledges to use the materials of one end product’s life cycle to input to another’s lifecycle, meaning the materials stay in the market for as long as possible. The idea of cradle-to-cradle calls for repurposed materials, keeping them in the ‘economic loop’ and therefore increasing both sustainability and revenue.
