A circular economy keeps materials in use and designs out waste; this cuts the extraction of virgin raw materials (Statement II) and minimises production-stage waste (Statement III). Both mechanisms lower lifecycle greenhouse-gas emissions from products and processes, thereby explaining Statement I. Consequently, II and III are correct and together account for why I is true.
