‘Circular economy’ in agriculture centres on the production of agricultural commodities using a minimal amount of external inputs, closing nutrient loops and reducing negative discharges to the environment (in the form of wastes and emissions). This can be achieved through the (re)design of maintenance, repair, reuse, remanufacturing, refurbishing, and recycling. Under the principles of CE, products and materials approaching their end-of-life stage can be regenerated or restored or replaced. Circular agriculture is aimed at closing the loop of materials and substances, and reducing both resource use and discharges into the environment. New measures like environmental taxes, insurance for liability resulting from environmental damage, cap and trade system and environmental labelling can be explored to promote transition of a current linear model to a circular one. The circular economy in Nepal is in infant stage and there is plenty of works to be done in this sector. The results of the paper will be instrumental for the transition of Nepalese agricultural sector to a more circular one.

Este trabalho tem como objetivo a proposição de rótulo ambiental de eficiência hídrica para torneiras. Parte-se da constatação que a água é um recurso finito e fundamental para a manutenção da vida e que as ações antrópicas inadequadas quanto à sua preservação e gerenciamento têm acarretado crises hídricas, principalmente nos grandes centros urbanos. Discute-se a eficiência hídrica de torneiras nacionais e propõe-se a adoção de selo a ser estampado em suas embalagens. A rotulagem das torneiras visa informar, de forma objetiva e clara à população, o volume de água despendido no uso, oferecendo ao consumidor subsídios para uma escolha consciente quanto ao equipamento a ser adquirido. Conclui-se que a adoção da rotulagem ambiental, através do selo hídrico proposto, pode ser um importante instrumento para se alcançar o uso racional da água. Palavras- chave: Rotulagem ambiental. Torneiras. Conservação de água.   PROPOSAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL LABELLING AS INDICATOR OF THE HIDRIC EFICIENCY OF WATER TAPS ABSTRACT This work has the objective of proposing an environmental label of water efficiency for faucets. It is based on the observation that water is a finite and fundamental resource for the maintenance of life and that inadequate anthropic actions regarding its preservation and management have led to water crises, especially in large urban centers. The water efficiency of national taps is discussed and it is proposed to adopt a seal to be stamped on its packaging. The labeling of faucets aims to inform the population, in an objective and clear way, the volume of water consumed, giving the consumer subsidies for a conscious choice as to the equipment to be purchased. It is concluded that the adoption of environmental labeling, through the proposed water seal, can be an important instrument for the rational use of water. Keywords: Environmental labeling. Tap. Water preservation.    PROPUESTA DE ETIQUETAS AMBIENTALES COMO UN INDICADOR DE GRIFOS EFICIENTES DEL AGUA RESUMEN  Este trabajo tiene como objetivo la proposición de etiqueta ambiental de eficiencia hídrica para grifos.
