A circular space economy aims to reduce waste by repairing, reusing, and recycling spacecraft as Earth's orbit becomes more crowded.
Researchers call for longer-lasting spacecraft and in-orbit repair capabilities to cut launches and material loss.
New debris-removal methods, like robotic arms or nets, could help collect fragments for recycling and prevent collisions.
Data-driven tools and AI could guide design improvements and real-time avoidance of dangerous debris.
The study stresses international cooperation and policy frameworks to enable reuse and recovery beyond Earth.
The circular approach targets end-to-end system changes, from materials to operation and retirement.
The authors note space activity spans mega-constellations, lunar and Mars missions, increasing debris risk.

The paper is published in Chem Circularity and supported by UK research councils and partnerships.
The study urges developing new tools to collect old debris and data-driven monitoring for a cleaner orbit.
