Greek term or phrase: υπάρχει οικονομία στη φύση
Οι πρώτες ύλες αξιοποιήθηκαν ιδανικά έτσι ώστε να υπάρχει οικονομία στη φύση και να διατηρείται η οικολογική ισορροπία.
Η συντήρηση των προϊόντων στηρίζεται στη συνέργια των συστατικών και στην αλληλεπίδραση τους ώστε να μην υπάρχει απώλεια και σπατάλη υλικών. Η συσκευασία είναι 100% ανακυκλώσιμη.

natural resources
Resources occurring in nature that can be used to create wealth. Examples include oil, coal, water, and land.


http://stats.oecd.org/glossary/detail.asp?ID=1740
Definition:
Natural resources are natural assets (raw materials) occurring in nature that can be used for economic production or consumption.

Context:
The naturally occurring assets that provide use benefits through the provision of raw materials and energy used in economic activity (or that may provide such benefits one day) and that are subject primarily to quantitative depletion through human use. They are subdivided into four categories: mineral and energy resources, soil resources, water resources and biological resources.

http://glossary.eea.eu.int/EEAGlossary/N/natural_resources
Definition (english only)
A feature or component of the natural environment that is of value in serving human needs, e.g. soil, water, plantlife, wildlife, etc. Some natural resources have an economic value (e.g. timber) while others have a 'noneconomic' value (e.g. scenic beauty).
