Circularity
What Changed:

Why It Matters:
Explain how this affects costs, resilience, pollution, local jobs, and long-term resource security.
Cross-System Effects:
Links to manufacturing, food systems, cities, trade, public health, and energy demand.
What People Can Do:
Business: Reduce waste streams, redesign for reuse, source recycled inputs, track material exposure.
Community: Support repair, reuse, composting, sharing systems, and local circular enterprises.
Policy: Incentivize reuse, right-to-repair, extended producer responsibility, and local recovery infrastructure.
What To Watch:
Recycling capacity, material shortages, waste regulation, commodity prices, and local circular pilots.
