Interconnection between sustainability and circularity is very simple. Sustainability means the environment and also represents our planet, energy is an aspect of the economy. Circularity focuses on creating resource systems by maximizing the reuse, repair, and recycling of products and materials in buildings. There is a great need for interconnecting sustainability and circularity to address the climate changes.
