Remaking (industrial) economy - Waste and trash is no longer waste and trash

 A regenerative economic model — the circular economy — is starting to help companies create more value while reducing their dependence on scarce resources.
The “take, make, and dispose” model of production has long relied on cheap resources to maintain growth and stability. That world no longer exists. 
By applying the principles of a circular economy—a system that is regenerative by design — forward-looking companies can seize growth opportunities while laying the groundwork for a new industrial era that benefits companies and economies alike.
