The Circular Kitchen by Bas Jansen

“…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”. Slowing loops means to extend the lifespan of a building, a building component (such as a façade or roof), subcomponent (such as a window frame including glazing) or part (such as glazing); narrowing loops is to reduce resource use or enhance resource efficiency; closing loops is to recycle materials from end-of-life back to production (Bocken et al., 2016). …”
