BELIEVE IN WHAT YOU WEAR? — economia circolare

Circular economy is that type of market organization that provides a production and consumption model based on the reduction of waste of energy resources through the reuse, repair and recycling of materials.

It is theorized in stark contrast to the linear economy, that is, the main economic model applied so far which foresees a continuous extraction of energy resources for the production of goods which are then disposed of and which have life cycles...

Life cycle analysis is an internationally recognized methodological tool through which the impact that a product or service has on the environment and human health is assessed throughout its life, from production to end. It is regulated according to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards 14040:2006 and 14044:2006 which define its principles and framework, requirements and guidelines. Life Cycle Analysis is an objective method, used in circular economy systems, which allows to quantify the resources and energy used during all the phases of production of the analyzed product, taking into account the many processes used during the macro-phases of...
