O reuso como ação da economia circular - Um estudo de casa no bairro Morada Nova no município de Uberlândia - Ano de 2023

Abstract

The Circular Economy (CE) is a model of production and consumption that aims to reduce, reuse, recover and recycle materials and resources to maximize efficiency in the use of natural resources, contributing to a sustainable economic system. The study highlights the relevance of CE in various aspects, such as environmental sustainability, economic efficiency and social responsibility. The aim of the study is to demonstrate how the circular economy has been applied in the community, meeting the needs of families through donations/reuse, to present the post-reuse environments, and to discuss the flow of communication and fundraising. The positive environmental impact is highlighted through the reuse of clothing and furniture, reducing waste and carbon emissions. Donation/reuse in the circular economy is a sustainable practice that extends the useful life of materials, saves natural resources, reduces waste and impacts on the quality of life of communities. Irregular disposal may be associated with a lack of information, and the study suggests that raising awareness of the circular economy can mitigate these problems. It emphasizes the need for future studies and research to promote new knowledge about CE and contribute to building a more sustainable future.
