How does manufacturing become sustainable? How do we connect our cycles of production and consumption to reduce waste and keep resources in play for as long as possible?

The answer lies in the circular economy, a concept that describes an ongoing cycle of manufacturing in which used materials, scrap and waste are constantly fed back into the system. The idea takes cues from the regenerative natural world, but applies them to these manmade systems. Additive manufacturing (AM) and 3D printing technology will be key to establishing a circular economy. This video, the first in our series on 3D Printing and the Circular Economy, explains the circular economy and what sustainable manufacturing means.
