A circular economy describes economic activity that aims to create added value by minimizing resource input and consumption, effectively utilizing stock, and innovating product usage methods. It seeks to maximize the value of resources and products while reducing the generation of waste.
MUFG supports the promotion of a circular economy through various initiatives aimed at transforming business models and supply chains.
The Importance and Significance of a Circular Economy
It is becoming increasingly important to transition from a linear economy of mass production, consumption, and disposal to a circular economy that uses resources efficiently and in a cyclical manner.
Efforts to realize a circular economy contribute to minimizing dependencies and impacts on nature, thereby supporting nature-positive initiatives and carbon neutrality.
