Developed by the Reel Green™ Circular Economy Committee, the Circularity Toolkit supports the growth of a circular economy to reduce waste within the motion picture industry.  It’s an evolving resource that orients, engages and services productions, municipalities and individuals to help the film industry adapt the tools to embrace a circular economy.
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.

The circular economy is a transformative system in which materials are never discarded as waste, and the natural environment undergoes regeneration.
It operates by ensuring that products and materials remain in continuous circulation, facilitated through practices such as maintenance, reuse, refurbishment, remanufacture, recycling, and composting.
