Abstract: The circular economy, also known as the “cradle-to-cradle” approach, proposes replacing the linear “extract, produce, consume and discard” model with a closed cycle that extends the useful life of products and reintegrates waste into the production chain. This logic reduces dependence on new resources and prevents unnecessary environmental degradation. Extending the use of materials contributes to ‘reducing habitat disturbance and curbing biodiversity loss’. This perspective was addressed in the symposium presentations, highlighting how crisis situations and environmental challenges can stimulate innovative solutions for food reuse and energy generation.
