CIRCULAR ECONOMY BETWEEN BUSINESS AND BIODIVERSITY

The increasing loss of biodiversity is one of the most dramatic consequences of climate change and human impact. The circular economy aims at changing the production and consumption systems eliminating waste and pollution to reduce threats to biodiversity, circulating products and materials to give space for the restoration of biodiversity, and regenerating nature to help biodiversity. If biodiversity can truly be protected and promoted through the conscious use of resources and their conservation, the new economic paradigm that bases its material circularity on the recovery of materials through waste recycling, does not, however, address the issue of uncontrolled consumption of goods and services in an equally important way, and, indeed, emphasizes the need to always find new sources, alternatives to virgin raw materials, but not to drastically reduce their comsumption.
