The circular economy is established as a model of sustainable development, as opposed to the “extract-use-throw” linear economy.
In the current era, where environmental sustainability has become a global priority , the adoption of circular economy practices is gaining more and more importance.
In this context, Hydroswiss positions itself as a leader in offering innovative systems and solutions for the sustainable management of resources and waste.
Let’s explore together the “10 R Model” also called “The 9R Framework on the Circular Economy”.
A comprehensive guide to fully understand the crucial role the circular economy plays in our modern world.
Intelligent product use and production
R0 – Reject
R1 – Rethink
R2 – Reduce
Extension of the useful life of the product and its parts
R3 – Reuse
R4 – Repair
R5 – Recondition
R6 – Remanufacture
R7 – Requalify
Useful application of materials
R8 – Recycle
R9 – Recover
The 10 R’s in detail
- Refuse:
the first R represents the action of rejecting products that are unnecessary or excessively harmful to the environment. - Rethink:
rethink the design of products to make them more durable, modular, easy to repair and recycle. - Reduce:
reduce the use of raw materials and environmental impact during production. - Reuse:
giving new life to used products, avoiding turning them into waste. - Repair:
Repair damaged products instead of replacing them, prolonging their useful life. - Renew (Refurbish):
update obsolete products with new components, maintaining their original structure. - Remanufacture :
using components of used products to create new ones. - Requalify (Repurpose):
transform waste into new products or energy. - Recycle:
recover materials from waste to reintroduce them into the production cycle. - Recover:
recover energy from non-recyclable waste.
Let’s add an R: Responsibility
