Closing the Loop: A Circular Economy Guide for Nepal

Circular Economy can sound like a big, complicated idea. But in reality, it is a practice that has been deeply rooted in Nepalese history and culture for generations. With the Roots of Circularity Programme, the Nepali government, education sector and entrepreneurial systems are reimagining what the country would look like if it practiced Circular Economy, and real work is already taking place in regions like Bagmati and Lumbini. 

At its core, Circular Economy is about being more mindful about how things are made, how long they last, and who benefits along the way. It is about growing an economy that takes care of people and the planet, rather than one that extracts, depletes, and wastes.

This series of six infographics introduces Circular Economy as a smarter, fairer, and more inclusive way of growing Nepal’s shared prosperity. Whether you are an entrepreneur looking to build a business that lasts, a policymaker shaping systems that serve people and the planet, or someone who wants their daily choices to have a more positive impact, this series is for you.
