It is based on three principles: to remove waste and pollution from the production process through innovative process design; keep products and materials in the value chain for a longer period, after the end of their useful life, use the products as a source of raw materials for further use; regeneration of degraded environment.<\/p><p>The circular economy model distinguishes between technical and biological cycles. In circular economy, resources are consumed only in biological cycles, where spent food and bio-based materials (for example cotton or wood) are fed back into the system through processes such as composting and anaerobic digestion. These cycles regenerate living systems (like soil) that provide renewable energy resources for the economy. In technical cycles, products, components and materials are recovered and restored through strategies that include reuse, repair, rework and (as a last resort) recycling.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c57ac86 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c57ac86\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Sources:<\/p><ul><li>European Commission document <a href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/environment\/gpp\/pdf\/CP_European_Commission_Brochure_webversion_small.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u00bbCircular Procurement\u00ab<\/a><\/li><li>European Commission<\/li><li>Eurostat<\/li><li>The Role of Circular Economy in Resource Story and the Cities<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Projekt NovIKroG Kro\u017eno gospodarstvo Kaj je kro\u017eno gospodarstvo?
