The Need for a Shift from Linear Business Models

The dominant linear economy model of extraction, production, and waste disposal no longer aligns with the finite resources and growing awareness of environmental consequences. There is a need for a break from linear models and a shift towards restorative and regenerative business models. This requires a change in mindset and values, focusing on eliminating waste, circulating products and materials, and regenerating nature. While many businesses are making efforts to be more efficient and less polluting within the linear model, a distinct break towards regenerative models is necessary to address systemic challenges.
