The Circular Economy provides three different types of dividends:
Innovation and reduced material and energy costs can generate competitive advantages for

Reduced consumption of resources and recycled waste in production reduce the environmental impact locally
As a result of integrated product cycles, it is possible to reduce negative environmental impacts on the population and decouple economic growth from the use of resources
