The Circular Kitchen by Bas Jansen

“…The Circular Economy (CE) presents a viable approach for achieving a sustainable built environment by minimizing resource use, environmental impacts, and waste. Geissdoerfer et al. (2017, p. 759) state that the CE is “a regenerative system in which resource input and waste, emission, and energy leakage are minimized by slowing, narrowing, and closing material and energy loops”. …”
