Text 1: A circular economy aims to keep products and materials in use through durable design, repair, reuse, remanufacturing, and recovery. By planning for multiple lives before an item is made, businesses can reduce dependence on newly extracted resources. The passage emphasizes redesigning production rather than merely managing waste after disposal. Text 2: A product designed for repair will not circulate if parts are unavailable, ownership is unclear, collection is inconvenient, or business incentives still reward rapid replacement. Consumers, manufacturers, repairers, governments, and logistics systems must coordinate. The passage argues that circular design is necessary but insufficient without institutions that support repeated use. Which comparison best captures the distinction between the two central claims?
