Circular vs Linear
A circular community or economy explores how to continuously reuse, repurpose, repair, and reimagine existing assets to make finite materials available infinitely.

A linear economy reflects an extractive “take, make, use, discard” philosophy leading to depletion of resources. The circular perspective emphasizes redesigning whole systems so that all end products can be repurposed, and little or nothing is ever lost.
