Concept circular economy is a model that eliminates waste and pollution, keeps products and materials in circulation, and restores the natural capital of our ecosystemsIt operates on the principles of sustainable design, maintenance, repair, reuse, remanufacture, renewal and recycling. This contrasts with the linear economic model, which operates on the principle of "take, make, dispose".

Principles Zero Waste are focused on waste prevention and on redesigning resource life cycles so that all products are reused. Zero Waste is seen as a translation or practical toolkit that can be meaningfully implemented at the local level to achieve circular economy goals.Zero Waste strategies seamlessly integrate the concept of a circular economy into local-level solutions, providing concrete guidelines and policies that municipalities can implement in their communities to ensure a healthier environment. The Zero Waste principles are illustrated in the Zero Waste hierarchy, which emphasizes prevention, waste reduction, and reuse over recycling and disposal.

Circular economy and Zero Waste principles have the same goalsImplementing a circular economy can significantly contribute to waste reduction by the fact that keeps materials in use through long-term design, maintenance, repair, reuse, remanufacturing, renewal and recycling. If a material can be reused, there is no need to mine and produce new materials, which also leads to more efficient use of resourcesSystems based on the reuse of materials and less disposable packaging mean less circulation of toxic chemicals that harm the environment and human health.
