Differential characteristics of the circular economy and the traditional economy?

Simply put, the traditional economy only focuses on the output of economic products, that is, to make money on the line; but the circular economy not only focuses on the output of economic products, but also pays attention to several aspects of the economic process: the control of emissions in the output process, the high-value utilization of all products/by-products/wastes in the output, and the substitution and safeguarding of raw materials.

Circular economy, refers to the production, distribution and consumption in the process of "reduction, reuse, resource" activities in general, that is, resource conservation and recycling activities in general, "reduction, reuse, resource" is also the Reduce, reuse, resource" is also a general summary of the circular economy. Circular economy emphasizes the replacement of the traditional linear growth model with a circular development model, which is manifested in the modes of "resource-product-renewable resource" and "production-consumption-recycling".

The circular economy emphasizes the replacement of the traditional linear growth model with a circular development model, which is manifested in the "resource-product-renewable resource" and "production-consumption-recycling" modes to effectively utilize resources and protect the environment, and ultimately to obtain greater economic, social and environmental benefits at a smaller development cost.

The principle of priority reduction requires the economic process to reduce pollution emissions, reduce raw material consumption, reduce energy consumption and so on. At the same time, it is required to improve the reuse, reutilization and remanufacturing of waste products to reduce social energy consumption and production waste. In addition, the end-of-life products and economic production of by-products and waste for comprehensive utilization, as a resource for development and utilization, eat up, on the one hand, to make up for the lack of resources, on the one hand, to reduce the waste of resources and reduce the pressure on environmental protection.

I personally believe that the circular economy and the traditional economy, the biggest difference is that the circular economy focuses on the consideration of the social costs (resources, energy, environment), which is also the traditional economy before the loss, but also for the current harm is the biggest place. The development of circular economy is a mark of social development and civilization, is the gradual improvement and enhancement of the process of human progress.
