The Difference Between Linear & Circular Economy
Published on: 16.08.2019
The world population is booming and at the same time it is draining out the Earth’s natural resources at an alarming rate. The growing human need for food, water, housing, clothing, and recreation takes a heavy toll on the environment. These are the reasons why many countries have decided to switch from linear to circular economy.
What is the linear economy?
It is not called linear because it has been around for a long-long time. It is a traditional model based on the ‘take-make-consume-waste’ approach to using resources. The raw material is transformed into a product and after it ends its life cycle is thrown to waste. What experts and non-experts know for sure is that if the model is not replaced, the world will approach a tipping point where it will lose the capacity to sustain itself.
The transition from linear to circular economy goes through the reuse economy approach.
The model adds a new link to the linear economy approach. The raw materials are transformed into a product that is recycled when it ends its life cycle into a new product, but after that stage, it is thrown away.
The purpose of a circular economy is to prevent waste. Manufacturers have designed reusable products and when a new product is needed, it has to be obtained sustainably. Hence, when the raw material enters the cycle, it must follow the production-use-recycling-production cycle.
The circular economy is more profitable and less harmless to the environment and its main goals include sustainable economic growth, increased competitiveness, and new jobs.
The circular economy needs joint efforts by entrepreneurs, researchers, industries, users, government, civil society, and lawmakers, but most of all it needs innovation. You can promote much-needed change in your society if you learn how to think innovatively.

The linear economy is what unfortunately what seems easy in the eyes of many. But with innovation, we could do better through recycling. Most of our ideas in here are pegged on the circular economy tenets.
Crochet hub Africa is a good example of this. Before you throw away those old shoes, look at then again. They could be refurbished. This eases the dumpsites of rubber soles and shoe materials.
Some other ideas and projects are at the forefront promoting reusing waste matter too. A good example is the one that was to use potato left overs to produce the starch that is used to make plastics. This and other ideas should be nurtured to maturity.

All hands must be on deck into finding solutions to sustainable entrepreneurship. This fit can only be realised by thinking creatively through innovation. While many ideas/projects submitted for the 2019 Youth Citizens Entrepreneurship Competitions are already finding solutions through recycling, there is still more work that is needed to be done to ensure the goal of sustainable entrepreneurship through recycling is realised before 2030. One key measure to undertake is through training and education. Training and educating the people in your community to be more sustainable through the appropriate recycling strategy (such as organising seminars and workshops). @crochethub

I personally think that nature itself has this capacity to reuse, recycle and produce again. I believe that the human being it the only element that had bad effect on this circular and if we do care about that too, it is like we are really going to be part of real nature too.

The more an industrial foundation reuses and cycles its waste, the closer it
approaches to the idea of circular economy and to being more profitable
while also less harmless for environment.In industrial environment, it is intended to show
that circular economy would be beneficial for society.Benefits will be taken
not only using environment as a reservoir for residual wastes but restricting or minimizing the usage of exhausting material for production activities.
The expected benefits are focused on the basic monitoring that the loss of
material wastes, in countable units, is minimized.

“The three most important things for a better future for me would be reduced economic inequalities within and between communities and countries, drastic decline in diseases such as malaria, cholera and HIV in developing countries and quality/affordable basic education for all children up until the tertiary level. I believe that if the world will truly become sustainable firstly we need to educate and equip as many people as possible in a short period of time. I believe that quality education will birth solutions that will unlock other Sustainable goals.”

Yeah definitely… Circular economy needs a cooperative effort. But everything in nature is itself in circular economy if we dont disturb. But we can’t leave without making things easier for us disturbing that circle. So its us who are disturbing circular economy and its upon us to again make it possible

To ensure there’s enough food, water and prosperity in 2050, we need to switch from a linear to a circular economy. The aim is to ensure healthy and safe living and working conditions, and cause less harm to the environment.
For a long time, our economy has been ‘linear’. This means that raw materials are used to make a product, and after its use any waste (e.g. packaging) is thrown away. In an economy based on recycling, materials are reused. For example, waste glass is used to make new glass and waste paper is used to make new paper. To ensure that in the future there are enough raw materials for food, shelter, heating and other necessities, our economy must become circular. That means preventing waste by making products and materials more efficiently and reusing them. If new raw materials are needed, they must be obtained sustainably so that the natural and human environment is not damaged.

This is a cry that we all must lend our voice in. Being entrepreneurial is awesome! I mean, I live for “Entrepreneurship”. But before a step is taken in that path, we need to ask ourselves, “Is it a sustainable step?” “What could be the magnitude of the harm that mother earth could be exposed to through this?” Fine, we know everything must have both a merit and a demerit (Basic high school knowledge). But then ask, in particular does the demerit outweigh the merits? How can it be helped?
It is high time we all adopted the circular economy model. The way to go is definitely a circular economy and that is why we think you will love our Idea, Seams.
Seams helps to reduce the pollution caused by fashion through landfills and greenhouse gases released into the environment that stems from overproduction and low quality of clothing produced. Why don’t you see for yourself?

Entrepreneurship can be a tough path–and a long, grueling one. Littered with false starts and failures, it tends to trigger a rollercoaster of emotions: excitement, despair, determination, and confusion, to name a few.
Because it’s so rarely linear (just try to find a successful entrepreneur who hasn’t fallen flat on his or her face at some point), the thing is requires more than anything is stamina: You’ve got to be able to keep going even when you don’t feel like it, and draw on deep reserves of energy to go to the distance.
Need a little help filling that well? Here’s some inspiration from those who’ve come before, to help you get to where you want to be:

9. “Be patient with yourself. Self-growth is tender, it’s holy ground. There’s no greater investment.” – Stephen Covey

CEO: Tesla and Spacex
Bold move: All of them
There’s no denying that Elon Musk is a visionary. But there’s also no denying that he’s got room for improvement. Tesla is a well-publicized mess — behind on production, abandoned by its executives and embroiled in an SEC investigation. Musk, too, often appears to be a mess — increasingly erratic on Twitter, lurching from one PR crisis to the next. But in 2018, his company SpaceX launched and landed a giant rocket (and then booked the first passenger for a trip around the moon), his hyperloop technology scored a contract with the city of Chicago and his battery-making Gigafactory hit new strides. So is he a model to follow? “Beyond Musk’s undoubtable genius and grit, it takes a heavy dose of hubris to devote one’s life to pioneer technologies that promote the Earth’s sustainability, while simultaneously creating an intergalactic escape hatch if we collectively fail to save the planet,” says Leonard Sherman, a professor of business at Columbia University. “In keeping with the breathtaking ambition of his quest, Musk has certainly suffered many personal and technical setbacks along the way. But despite it all, entrepreneurs should remember Steve Jobs’ words. Bold, daring entrepreneurship is messy. It’s complex. But the crazy ones will get shit done.” But other experts think he’s more of a cautionary tale. Peter Cohan, lecturer of strategy at Babson College, urges entrepreneurs to learn from Musk’s mistakes. “The lessons that entrepreneurs should take from Elon Musk are clear: Put the highest priority on what is best for your company’s customers, employees, partners and investors. To do that, you must look at your strengths and weaknesses objectively. If you are not good at a skill that’s critical to deliver what stakeholders expect — now and in the future — you should partner with an executive who is. For all of Musk’s ambition and achievements, he seems unable or unwilling to do this.” Still not sure?

The circular economy that aims for the elimination of waste through the design of products, and business models. Its essence is to design products with no waste products that facilitate disassembly and reuse.
The idea of Cradle to Cradle (Remaking the Way We Make Things) developed by chemist Michael Braungart and architect William McDonough ranked as the next industrial revolution
Traditionally the main slogan of environmentalism has been ” Reduce, reuse, recycle .” The authors propose a different approach: Reduce the impact on the environment cause slowdowns same , but faster or slower would be coming to the same end. Optimize the design and production architectural and industrial. Design for not to contaminate

Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.
I have always believed that the way you treat your employees is the way they will treat your customers, and that people flourish when they are praised.
Whatever your goal is you will never succeed unless you let go of your fears and fly.
Capitalism – which in its purest form is entrepreneurism even among the poorest of the poor – does work; but those who make money from it should put it back into society, not just sit on it as if they are hatching eggs.
Hard-won things are more valuable than those that come too easily.

21 Quotes From Henry Ford On Business, Leadership And Life
Erika Andersen
Erika Andersen
Contributor
Careers
I knew, before starting to write this post, what we all know about Henry Ford: founder of Ford Motor F +0%Company, seminal proponent of mass production in the form of the assembly line, creator of the Model T and author of the tart line, “you can have it in any color you want, as long as it is black.” Then one of my readers, Sagar Adhikari, shared a great Henry Ford quote in a comment he made on one of my posts. I was intrigued, and started doing a bit of research.
As it turns out, Ford was a veritable font of pithy and insightful one-liners about business and leadership – and a fascinating human being, as well. He certainly had his dark side (he seems to have been anti-semitic for at least part of his life, believing in a world conspiracy of “Jewish financiers”), but he was at the same time hugely progressive and forward-thinking in many other ways. For example, he hired African-Americans, women and disabled people long before most other business owners did so, and was passionately committed to the principle of paying good wages to hire and keep the best employees. He was a relentless technological innovator, based on his commitment to creating “the best possible goods at the lowest possible price.” He focused on making ongoing changes in design and production that would drive down costs while improving the product. For instance, the inaugural Model T, released for sale in 1908, cost $825 (about $22,000 in present-day dollars); by 1916, he had reduced the cost by more than half – to $360, while increasing safety, reliability and speed. And for better or worse, Henry Ford – more than any other individual – made us a nation of car owners; at one point over half the families in America owned a Ford motor car.
Here then, for your reading pleasure: 21 inspiring and very fresh quotes from this complex, remarkable man:
There is one rule for the industrialist and that is: make the best quality goods possible at the lowest cost possible, paying the highest wages possible.
Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success.
Don’t find fault, find a remedy.
Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.
Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t – you’re right.
Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young.
Employers only handle the money – it is the customer who pays the wages.

My Humblest Thanks Goes to Campus Administrator
Well, almost everyone from the campus has been giving an emotional speech, I will try to not be long with mine..A big CONGRATULATIONS to all of you for all the support you have granted me since day one and which has been pushing me to do better each time. This journey has been long almost 4 months, but we have learned so many things here, from both negative and positive experiences. There has been many ups and downs, but we know we did our best, we supported as many idea/projects we could. Sometimes the blue bar motivated us, sometimes it did the reverse. I, personally obtained so many benefits from the campus, ranging from the online training, blogs, ideas/projects, to knowing myself as an entrepreneur, learning more about innovation and creativity, borrowing and the list goes on and on, but the most amazing thing was making so many entrepreneurship friends and educating many through my concepts and components.
The whole world felt and sensed and convinced and intuitively believed in my idea GREEN RIBBON, hence you believe in LOVING LIFE and ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION. Healthy living and fresh breathe for cerebral palsy kids and teens that is even bad than CANCER yet they world ignore it.. We need sustainable actions for our planet.

I have never really thought about the future until Until two months
ago an announcement was made at our school about one girl. She
was seriously ill. She had cancer. A very aggressive form of it. The
doctors in our country did everything they could for her. Still she was
dying. Her only hope was the treatment that she could get in
Germany. She needed minimum of 50 thousand Euros to be able to
go and soon. The price of the human life. It’s a lot of money here. So
her parents started raising funds wherever they could and
eventually came to our school. Nowadays we have almost got used
to such stories because after the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Station accident the rate of cancer
among children in Belarus has increased 13 times. This power station is situated almost at the
boarder of our Republic and right after the accident the wind was blowing north and carrying
radioactive clouds in our direction So there are articles in newspapers, announcements on TV,
Internet about kids dying of cancer who need urgent help.

The wonderful thing is that as we decrease the scale of economic activity, we actually increase our own emotional well being. That is because at the deepest level localization is about connection. It is about re establishing our sense of interdependence with others and with the natural world. And this connection is a fundamental human need.

” I began my career as an economics professor but became frustrated because the economic theories I taught in the classroom didn’t have any meaning in the lives of poor people I saw all around me. I decided to turn away from the textbooks and discover the real-life economics of a poor person’s existence.”

It is a great honour for me to be “A 2019 Best Idea Finalist”: to follow in the footsteps of world-renowned thinkers and activists-many of whom, incidentally, I am happy to count among my friends and colleagues. An honour and also a source of great hope and strength: that an organisation as prestigious as The Entrepreneurship Campus should understand and value the role of economic localization in helping to create a more equitable and sustainable world. i thank you for your support and accept this global position as a finalist on behalf of the emerging worldwide localization movement; a movement that, I believe can not only help to prevent ecological devastation but also substantially improve the quality of life for the great majority of people on earth.

“A weapon is a tool,” she repeated, a little breathlessly. “A tool for killing and destroying. And there will be times when, as an Envoy, you must kill and destroy. Then you will choose and equip yourself with the tools that you need. But remember the weakness of weapons. They are an extension–you are the killer and destroyer. You are whole, with or without them.”

I personally think that nature itself has this capacity to reuse, recycle and produce again. I believe that the human being it the only element that had bad effect on this circular and if we do care about that too, it is like we are really going to be part of real nature too.

The best approach the linear approach. But I do not know happy many of us know about this. Campus members I believe one can pick up the idea of sensitizing people about the issue of recycle and use.
