Can we align global production and consumption systems with
sustainability? Can business growth actually lead to a healthier
planet? Can companies innovate through the circular economy to
create competitive advantage and genuine impact? Waste to Wealth
proved that the emerging circular economy advantage exists - now
Lacy, Long and Spindler show you how to realize it at speed and
scale in The Circular Economy Handbook. We stand at a crossroads,
with rising geopolitical and geo-economic tensions, massive
technological change and a host of social and environmental
challenges. We are pushing planetary boundaries to their limits,
with climate change and threats to biodiversity and oceans as just
a few examples. Significant impacts are already being felt, and
both people and planet face potentially catastrophic and
irreversible consequences if we don't urgently change our global
model and systems. Our current linear "take, make, waste" models of
production and consumption will not be sustainable in a world of
some 9 billion people by 2050, especially with ever-expanding rates
of consumption. Thriving within these dynamics demands more than
incremental adjustments to business-as-usual. The circular economy
offers a powerful means to decouple growth from use of scarce and
harmful resources, enabling greater production and consumption with
fewer negative environmental impacts-at the same time, making
companies more innovative and competitive. In fact, this book shows
that $4.5 trillion in economic value is at stake. Delivering on the
promise of a circular economy demands impact and scale, extending
through value chains and, ultimately, disrupting the entire
economic system. In The Circular Economy Handbook, the authors
illuminate the path from insight to action, from linear to
circular. With case studies, advice and practical guidance, they
show leaders how to pivot towards a holistic circular organization,
embedding circularity internally and delivering broad-based system
change. With unique insights across business models, technologies,
and industries - featuring stories and real-world examples from
circular pioneers - this book is the essential guide to help
companies become leaders in the movement to secure the circular
economy advantage.
