Circular Economy & Material Monetization
The circular economy aims to minimize waste and make the most of resources by keeping materials in use for as long as possible, while material monetization turns discarded items into financial value. This category brings together services and skills that directly support reuse, recycling, and responsible disposal — from household furniture assembly to scrap vehicle handling and community composting.
