Abstract

The excessive acquisition and the careless usage of the food and non-food products in the recent years have led to the result of a huge amount of waste, which in time has become a real problem at a global level. In order to solve this issue rapidly and efficiently, the researchers have been forced to find prompt, vast, efficient and inexpensive solutions. The aim of this paper is to emphasise the importance and the benefits of the circular economy as a possibility to be applied in the agro-zootechnical sector. Opposing the linear economy and the recycling economy, the circular economy has the main objective of reducing the waste to minimum, expecting even a `zero waste`.

Highlights

  • The planet has suffered dramatical changes, and in order to stop these in the future, the specialists in the waste managing have to find innovator solutions to change them into raw materials that are necessary for certain economy branches

  • The researchers sustain that it is necessary to implement a new strategy which has to be based on an innovative concept whose essence is the principle ofreuse-repair-recycle, this concept is labeled in the circular economy

  • The paper focuses on the novel idea of the circular economy, presenting in short the benefits and possibilities to be applied in the agricultural sector

Summary

Introduction

There is no secret for anyone the fact that one lives in an era when the increasing development of the industry and the demographic increase of the population are two important factors which have indirectly produced negative effects upon the climate as a result of the pollution caused by the inappropriate managing of the waste. The waste that is resulted from the agro-zootechnical field could represent a real of income, provided they are properly managed If not, they can have negative effects on the ecosystems, becoming a danger for man and nature, by producing a vast amount of methane emissions and by attracting a significant amount of insects and rodents [1]. The new branch that is continually developing [2], this method of obtaining electrical and thermal energy has started to attract more and more followers among the agricultural waste [3] To put this in a simplified way, one can state that the circular economy is an economy which produces zero waste [4]. The graphic chart representative for the three types of economy is illustrated in figure 1
