Finding a common language — circular economy glossary launched by Ellen MacArthur Foundation

We have published a circular economy glossary which includes definitions for commonly-used terms such as recycle, reverse logistics, and finite resources, and explains the difference between terms such as reuse, refurbishment, and remanufacturing. It was created in collaboration with IKEA, one of our Strategic Partners. By establishing a common language, and defining terms that are often misunderstood, the aim is to make it easier for businesses, policymakers, and cities to align on what the circular economy is and how they can adopt truly circular models.
