“Circular economy is a non-wasteful economy. If you were perfectly circular, everything that leaves your business is making money...,” said Professor Clyde Hull. “Things that do not make money now make money. Your profit goes up. It’s a great thing from a business point of view. From the point of view of the environment, if nothing is going into the landfill and nothing is getting thrown away, then these businesses are polluting a lot less and therefore it’s good for the economy. So it’s a win win.”
