Advancing towards a Circular Economy is vital given India's Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) targets of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and fulfilling the commitments to the Sustainable Development Goals regarding responsible consumption and production. The circular economy is also a key pillar of the Mission Lifestyle for Environment (LiFE), proposed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the global community, which aims to encourage individuals to adopt environmentally friendly sustainable lifestyles.
