The quality of technology matters as much as how we use it. Currently, technology and innovation seem mostly to support faster and cheaper ways of doing the same old wrong things. Innovation does not excuse us from the unpalatable task of critically examining our unsustainable choices and attitudes. As with any innovation, circularity will be only as beneficial as the social, political, and economic context allows it to be.
