Abstract: Abstract The need for economic growth to satisfy the growing population has often led to more extraction and use of limited natural resources. These resources are used in a manner that compromises the needs of the future generation and threatens the continuing existence of life on earth. The linear economic model approach where we procure, use, and dispose of the item as waste has contributed significantly to the degradation of the natural environment and has affected both the quality of life and the health of the society. It is no longer sustainable as the earth’s resources are dwindling and in short supply.
