India embraces circular economy for sustainable growth and innovation

India is adopting circular economy practices to become a global leader in sustainability. This shift could save up to 30% of GDP by 2050 and cut greenhouse gas emissions by 44%. A circular economy moves away from the “take, make, dispose” model, focusing on recycling and reusing resources. The government has introduced policies like Plastic and e-Waste Management Rules and formed 11 committees for action plans. NITI Aayog leads key initiatives, collaborating with global groups like GACERE. Small businesses can benefit from circular practices, and new ISO standards will help businesses transition, creating jobs and boosting economic growth.
