Linear Economy
Definition
Linear Economy
An economic model that follows a take—make—dispose approach, leading to depletion of resources and waste.
Extraction: Raw materials are extracted from the earth.
Production: These materials are transformed into products.
Consumption: Products are used by consumers.
Disposal: Once used, products are discarded, often ending up in landfills or incinerated.
Note
The linear economy is often summarised as "take, make, dispose."
Note
Limitations of the linear economy:
Resource depletion: Raw materials are used up faster than they can be replaced
Environmental harm: Creates waste and pollution
Economic loss: Discarded products waste valuable materials and resources
Example
The fashion industry exemplifies a linear model, with fast fashion brands producing cheap clothing that is quickly discarded, leading to significant waste and environmental harm.
