The difference between circular economy and traditional economy

1, the system view is different. In production and consumption, the traditional economy excludes people from the big system composed of natural resources and science and technology. Circular economics requires people to put themselves in a big system when considering production and consumption, and to study the economic principles that conform to objective laws as a part of this big system.

2. Different economic prospects. In the traditional economy, there is no circulation of natural resources, but circular economy needs ecological laws to guide its economic activities, and ecological carrying capacity should also be considered.

3. Different values. Circular economy regards the natural environment as the basis of human survival, so it will maintain a benign circular ecosystem. However, the traditional economy regards nature as a "raw material field" and a "dumping ground for abandoned houses".

4. The production concepts of circular economy and traditional economy are different. The concept of circular economy will fully consider the carrying capacity of natural ecosystems and achieve the purpose of improving the utilization efficiency of natural resources. The traditional concept of economic production is to maximize the development and utilization of natural resources, and then maximize the creation of social wealth and gain profits.
