What is a Circular Economy?

A circular economy moves away from the take-make-waste model and looks at how waste can be reduced through reduced use of resources, extended lifetime, reuse, remanufacturing and recycling. 

We want to make it easy to choose the sustainable choice which is why we are on a mission to produce durable, long lasting products, reduce our energy consumption, reuse and repair when possible and recycle where we can. Here are some of the things we are doing to achieve the Circular Economy at Brother.
