The concept of circular economy is based on strategies, practices,
policies, and technologies to achieve principles related to
reusing, recycling, redesigning, repurposing, remanufacturing,
refurbishing, and recovering water, waste materials, and nutrients
to preserve natural resources. It provides the necessary conditions
to encourage economic and social actors to adopt strategies toward
sustainability. However, the increasing complexity of
sustainability aspects means that traditional engineering and
management/economics alone cannot face the new challenges and reach
the appropriate solutions. Thus, this book highlights the role of
engineering and management in building a sustainable society by
developing a circular economy that establishes and protects strong
social and cultural structures based on cross-disciplinary
knowledge and diverse skills. It includes theoretical
justification, research studies, and case studies to provide
researchers, practitioners, professionals, and policymakers the
appropriate context to work together in promoting sustainability
and circular economy thinking. Volume 1, Circular Economy and
Sustainability: Management and Policy, discusses the content of
circular economy principles and how they can be realized in the
fields of economy, management, and policy. It gives an outline of
the current status and perception of circular economy at the
micro-, meso-, and macro-levels to provide a better understanding
of its role in achieving sustainability. Volume 2, Circular Economy
and Sustainability: Environmental Engineering, presents various
technological and developmental tools that emphasize the
implementation of these principles in practice (micro-level). It
demonstrates the necessity to establish a fundamental connection
between sustainable engineering and circular economy.
