Question

Consider the following statements :
Statement I: Circular economy reduces the emissions of greenhouse gases.
Statement II: Circular economy reduces the use of raw materials as inputs.
Statement III : Circular economy reduces wastage in the production process.
Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements?

Accepted Answer

Statement I: Circular economy does indeed reduce greenhouse gas emissions by changing production and consumption patterns.

Statement II: Correct and explains Statement I. Circular economy reduces the use of virgin raw materials by promoting reuse, recycling, and regeneration of materials, which reduces the energy-intensive extraction and processing of new materials, thereby reducing emissions.

Statement III: Correct and explains Statement I. Circular economy minimizes waste in production processes through better design, efficiency improvements, and waste-to-resource conversion, reducing the emissions associated with waste disposal and the need for new material production.

Both reduced raw material use and waste reduction contribute to lower greenhouse gas emissions by decreasing energy consumption and environmental impact throughout the value chain.

Answer
