Sustainability has become an increasingly important concept in modern society, as the world faces challenges such as climate change, resource depletion, and social inequality. It requires a shift towards more sustainable practices in areas such as energy, agriculture, transportation, and manufacturing, as well as changes in individual behavior and consumption patterns.

Circular Economy
Circular economy is an economic model that is designed to minimize waste and maximize the use of resources. It aims to keep resources in use for as long as possible, extracting the maximum value from them, and then recovering and regenerating products and materials at the end of their life cycle.
The circular economy is based on 3 key principles:
Designing out waste and pollution.
This involves designing products, processes, and systems to minimize waste and pollution. This can include using renewable resources, designing products for easy repair and reuse, and eliminating toxic substances.
Keeping products and materials in use.
This involves keeping products and materials in use for as long as possible through strategies such as repair, refurbishment, and recycling. This can help to reduce the need for new materials and reduce waste.
Regenerating natural systems.
This involves working to restore and regenerate natural systems, such as ecosystems and biodiversity. This can include using renewable energy sources, conserving resources, and using regenerative agricultural practices.
The circular economy is seen as a way to create a more sustainable and resilient economy, reducing waste and pollution, and conserving resources. It also offers economic opportunities through new business models, jobs, and innovation.
In this prospect, Wheatoleo has designed efficient production methods and deploys a local integrated production network as possible with minimal energy consumption and obviously maintaining an exclusive usage of renewable raw materials.

The REACH model operates in both the UK and EU; however, the systems are independent of one another and chemicals must be registered and managed separately under both UK and EU REACH.
To comply with the EU REACH regulation, companies must identify and manage the risks linked to the substances they manufacture and market in the EU.
