The rapid development of science and technology, as well as the growth of the population and the global problems require the study and solution of these problems through various methods, including many scientific disciplines or techniques. The increase in waste and the unsystematic depletion of natural resources requires new concepts and tools to create new environmentally friendly products. A new “circular economy” strategy is taking the place of the linear economy, which was founded on the “take, make, and discard” tenet. The circular economy seeks to lengthen product lifespans, cut waste, and manage natural resources sustainably. Biomimicry and cradle to cradle are two examples of circular economy trends or techniques. While cradle to cradle aims to reduce waste by utilizing nature's expertise, electronic technologies often attempt to solve problems by emulating natural processes. Understanding nature, its systems and cycles will provide comparisons and models for creating innovative solutions to global problems.
