Ellen Macarthur Foundation has just published a circular economy glossary which includes definitions for commonly-used terms such as recycle, reverse logistics, and finite resources, and explains the difference between terms such as reuse, refurbishment, and remanufacturing. By establishing a common language, and defining terms that are often misunderstood, the aim is to make it easier for businesses, policymakers, and cities to align on what the circular economy is and how they can adopt truly circular models.
