Interesting! ... what is circular economy? (is it basically a technical term for "what goes around, comes around?) :)

In a way, yes, you could say so. It's an industrial economic paradigm that aims at minimizing use of resources and environmental impacts by using different strategies. For example recycling, dematerializing products, substituting products for services, etc...

The fundamental premise is that we can obtain equal or better socio-economic performance, at a fraction of current resource use while also limiting (or even offsetting) our negative impact on the environment.

This sounds like a fascinating field - and particularly salient these days.
