b - Green sphere

It is a space for reflection, which aims to be a demonstration point that another reality is possible and that is taking place: the Circular Economy.
The linear system of the current economy (extraction of materials, manufacturing, use and disposal of waste) has been exhausted, as there are a number of natural resources and fossil fuels in the phase of disappearing.

The Green Sphere aims to explain in a very simple and didactic way the concept of the Circular Economy: using waste as resources to achieve an efficient cycle of materials and intelligent, sustainable and inclusive growth.

Principles of Circular Economy:

- Initial eco-design considering the environmental impacts throughout the life cycle of the product due to its integration.
- Optimized management of stocks and flows of materials, energy and services of industrial organizations.
- Prioritize functionality, the sale of a service in front of a material asset.
- Reuse of goods or products for reuse after their useful life, in the same function or in another, directly or after a restoration or reconditioning action.
- Repair to find a second life to products without service.
- Recycling to take advantage of the materials found in the waste.
- Energy recovery of waste that cannot be recycled.
