Circular Economy Model Diagram

with 5 Steps: Production, Distribution, Consumption, Re-use / Repair and Recycling

Slide Content

The PowerPoint slide presents the "Circular Economy Model Diagram" which is mapped out in five steps: Production, Distribution, Consumption, Re-use / Repair, and Recycling. Each of these steps is represented by a circular colored icon with an adjacent text box for additional information. "Production" suggests product design that facilitates easier repair or re-use. "Distribution" is illustrated by electric trucks for distribution, showing the consideration for sustainability. "Consumption" introduces car sharing as a consumption model. "Re-use / Repair" includes second-hand retailing, promoting the idea of extending the lifecycle of goods. Finally, "Recycling" includes an example of clothes produced from plastic, highlighting the transformation of waste into useful products.

Graphical Look

• The slide background is white with a blue banner at the top where the title is located.
• The title font is large and colored black.
• There are five circular icons, each a different color—green for Recycling, blue for Production, golden yellow for Supply Chain, light blue for Consumption, and darker blue for Re-use/Repair.
• Each circular icon is connected to the next by a dark grey arrow, indicating a sequential process forming a circular flow diagram.
• Text boxes lie horizontally beneath each icon. Each text box contains placeholders for additional information and one specific example related to the step, separated by a horizontal line from the placeholders.
• The icons feature simple graphics—a recycling leaf symbol for Recycle, a factory for Production, a globe with an arrow for Supply Chain, a car for Consumption, and a wrench and screwdriver for Re-use/Repair.

The slide has a clean, professional design utilizing simple graphics and distinct colors for each icon to emphasize the cyclical nature of the economic model. The use of arrows and strategic placement of the icons around the slide centralizes the concept of a circular economy.
