r/circular_economy is a subreddit with 4k members. Its distinguishing qualities are that the community is medium in size.
A circular economy (CE) is, in many ways, our human industrial attempt at mimicking nature, through processes, business models, and by reimagining the value of what we have and produce. In its purest form it eliminates waste altogether, is good for the planet, creates jobs and fosters communities.
CE is part of a larger trend including what others call the doughnut economy, performance economy, biomimicry, and industrial ecology.
