Pakistan experts promote circular economy for sustainability

Experts in Pakistan are advocating for a shift to a circular economy to address economic, environmental, and social issues. This approach focuses on transforming waste into valuable resources, creating jobs, and reducing reliance on raw material extraction. The circular economy contrasts with the traditional linear model, which leads to increased waste and resource depletion. By recycling materials and utilizing advanced technologies, Pakistan can enhance resource efficiency and minimize environmental impact. Key sectors for this transition include agriculture, textiles, and renewable energy. Experts emphasize the need for a national strategy, regulatory frameworks, and public-private partnerships to support innovation and sustainable practices in waste management and manufacturing.
