The future of sustainability depends on educating young generations about the circular economy. Teaching children about resource conservation, waste reduction, and recycling early empowers them to make environmentally responsible choices. This educational video, brought to you by Klean Industries, explains the circular economy in a simple, engaging way, helping kids and students understand how a waste-free, sustainable future is possible. Whether you’re a parent, teacher, or sustainability advocate, this resource is perfect for inspiring the next generation of eco-conscious leaders.

Albert Camus, the Literature Nobel Prize winner, wrote: “Every generation, no doubt, thinks itself doomed to remake the world.”

Every generation has the chance to change the world. The previous generation changed it forever by eliminating barriers between cultures, paving the way for the modernization of media, the spread of the Internet, information, and mass entertainment. We are now aware of all the challenges we must face: obsolete overproduction, overconsumption economic models, and climate change.

Present and future generations will inherit a heavy responsibility to change the world and achieve new globalization through sustainable development and a circular economy. It seems fair to me to assert that it’s up to us parents to explain to young generations the world in which they live and how they will grow up to finally make it better for everyone. 

But by the way, what is the circular economy?

The circular economy is an economic concept that fits into the framework of sustainable development and is inspired, in particular, by the notions of green economy, economy of use or economy of functionality, and industrial ecology (which wants an industry’s waste to be recycled as raw material by another sector or the same).

Its objective is to produce goods and services while strongly limiting the consumption and waste of raw materials and non-renewable energy sources.

Created to promote a “circular economy, it is a regenerative system in which resource input and waste, emission, and energy leakage are minimized by slowing, closing, and narrowing energy and material loops; this can be achieved through long-lasting design, maintenance, repair, reuse, remanufacturing, refurbishing, recycling, and upcycling. This contrasts with a linear economy, which is a ‘take, make, dispose’ production model.

A significant argument favoring the circular economy approach is that achieving a sustainable world does not require changes in consumers’ quality of life, loss of revenues, or extra costs for manufacturers and other economic agents. The argument is that circular business models can be as profitable as linear models and allow consumers to enjoy similar products and services.

To achieve economically and environmentally sustainable models, the circular economy focuses on  design thinking, systems thinking, product life extension, and recycling.” (source Wikipedia)

Here is a short movie that explains the circular economy simply to destinations, schoolchildren, and high school students.

Kids, we trust you to change the world and make it better!

The Elle MacArthur Foundation works in education, training, business and government, analysis, systemic initiatives, and communication to accelerate the transition to a circular economy.
