Episode Synopsis

On this episode of Eco-Echo, host Nil Kıran is joined by Cem Fotocan to explore the powerful potential of circular economies in reshaping how we think about waste, value, and sustainability. This  conversation dives into how circular models challenge the traditional “take-make-dispose” system and instead promote reuse, regeneration, and resilience.Together, Nil and Cem unpack the economic mechanisms behind circular systems—from extended producer responsibility to closed-loop supply chains—and explain how these frameworks not only reduce environmental harm but also create jobs, stimulate innovation, and make businesses more future-proof.
