The study concluded that the best solution in getting rid of this problem is to move from linear (unidirectional) economic model i.e: production-consumption- elimination, towards a circular economic model which is based on “cradle-to-cradle” principle i.e: production- consumption- recycling- production. This principle allows the production of goods whose parts are all recyclable. Several experiments of companies that designed their products according to “cradle-to-cradle” principle have been exposed. This is through selecting two sectors; the office furniture industry (Orange box and Steelcase companies), and fabric industry (i Collect and Teriva companies).enCircular economyCradle-to-cradleWaste recyclingNatural resources renewalArticle
