For example, a plant grows, a worm eats the plant, a bird eats the worm, then the bird eventually dies and its nutrients are absorbed by the soil—where a plant grows again.
You can find ideas applying this circular ecosystem to modern economics and manufacturing as far back as post-World War II.
But it’s more than just transitioning to renewable energies: it’s designing out waste and pollution before production and manufacturing even begin.

Bio-based raw materials are commonly derived from renewable plant sources such as corn, wheat, straw, sugarcane, and food and agricultural waste.
Despite their different sources, biopolymers are typically used in the same manufacturing process as petroleum-based polymers.
PIR content is derived from scrap reclaimed within the manufacturing process via skimmers and sieves.
