The 9Rs of Circularity

1. Refuse – Say NO to what you don’t need, especially when production harms nature and/or humans.

2. Rethink – Design smarter, waste less, think before you consume.

3. Reduce – Consume only what you truly need, simplify your life.

4. Reuse – Give things a second life, share with others whenever possible.

5. Repair – Fix what is broken before you throw something away.

6. Refurbish – Refresh and redesign instead of replace.

7. Remanufacture – Turn old parts into new products.

8. Repurpose – Find a new use for the old.

9. Recycle – Instead of throwing away give materials a new start, take apart and recycle.

The 9Rs are a blueprint for a regenerative economy. The more we refuse, the less we consume and recycle. The more we repair, the less we extract.
