Circular economy, a new model of production based on the reduce,reuse and recycle but with emphasis on turning products/ by products to inputs in the cycle of production.
The benefits of the circular economy are enormous but can be to the sustainable development goals.(SDGS).
The circular economy results in more food production using sustainable methods, thus aligning with zero hunger .(sdg2)
The recycling model of turning some products to inputs, reduces waste, provides new forms of clean and affordable energy.
This model reduces the pressure on the environment by turning waste to wealth, thus combating climate action while building sustainable cities and communities.(SDG 13 and 11).
The reuse of waste water by recycling also provides clean water while making environment clean by preventing run-off of waste water thus maintaining sanitation standards.(SDG 6).
The circular economy is a paradigm shift from the linear economy by using innovative methods and strategies to improve production cycle to increase profit while curbing waste which translates to building sustainable industry,infrastructure with innovative models.(SDG 9)
The production cycle in circular economy will open up opportunities creating decent work and economic growth. (SDG 8)
The circular economy in Agriculture aligns with the sustainable development goals also by ensuring life on land, below water are safe leading to responsible consumption and production. SDG14,15 and 12)
The circular economy in the poultry sector:1) waste collected and turned to energy.
2) Feathers recycled, reused in fashion and construction industry reducing pressure of waste dumping in environment while creating wealth.
3)Feathers as raw materials for animal feed, feather meal.
4) Feathers as raw materials in creative industry, fashion and arts increasing opportunities for export of products while creating jobs and reducing climate action.
4)Innovative feeding methods that increases productivity without increasing cost of production by using feed stuff that are noncompetitive.
5) Eggs turned egg powder an innovative product to curb egg glut, create a handy method to transport eggs while increasing shelf life.
6) Egg shells turned to calcium source for animals and also shells used as raw material for scouring powder.
7)Egg shells also used as raw material in arts and crafts.
8)Egg shells turned to crockery,
The opportunities are endless, the cycle continues. Food to waste and waste to food, energy and other products.
