Beyond Circular Economy 

Dr. Santibañez González’s research on the principles of the circular economy highlights the importance of rethinking traditional economic models by prioritizing waste reduction, resource efficiency and product lifecycle extension. Her work offers transformative solutions for businesses and governments to move from a linear “extract-make-dispose” model to a regenerative approach that minimizes environmental impact and maximizes economic value. By focusing on sustainable practices such as recycling, remanufacturing, and product redesign, her research empowers decision-makers to foster innovation.
