Reel Green™ Circular Economy Toolkit is Now Live!
A circular economy is one that minimizes waste and makes the most of available resources. In contrast to the traditional linear economy, which follows a “take, make, dispose” model, a circular economy aims to keep products, materials, and resources in use for as long as possible. It emphasizes recycling, reusing and refurbishing to extend the lifespan of products and reduce their overall environmental impact.
Alongside the Reel Green™ Circular Economy Committee, we’re excited to launch the Circular Economy Toolkit. This evolving resource orients, engages, and services productions, municipalities, and individuals, helping the film industry adapt tools to embrace a circular economy.
Explore the Toolkit
The toolkit comprises three fact sheets, each designed to share circular economy resources and promote awareness about transitioning to a circular economy.
- Get Involved: A comprehensive guide that outlines ways to participate in the circular economy and establish its principles within your production.
- Discover the Circular Economy Marketplace: This fact sheet delves into the stages of a circular economy and provides valuable tips for entering the circular economy marketplace.
- Share the Resources: A concise one-pager designed to facilitate the dissemination of information and encourage engagement in the circular economy.
