What is a circular economy?

The circular economy is an economic model that stresses the importance of maximizing resource use and the lifecycle of products, with emphasis on integrating these concerns at the product design phase. This is in contrast to the ‘linear economy,’ where resources are extracted to make single-use products or products that are disposed after use.

What does that mean? New cars must made of 90% old cars. This will cap the number of vehicles on the road.
