# Long description

Figure 15(a) shows a horizontal list of arrows separated by words to demonstrate the linear economy. Starting with ‘extract’ an arrow points to ‘make’, then the arrow points to ‘use’ then the final arrow points to ‘dispose’. Figure 15(b) illustrates the circular economy. The word ‘extract’ followed by an arrow points to ‘make’. From ‘make’ a circle of arrows goes to ‘use’ and then ‘reuse’ and back to ‘make’. There is no ‘dispose’ stage.
