Sustainability from an economic and environmental perspective is
linked to the manner in which we extract and consume the earth’s
finite resources and is implicit in the definition of a circular
economy (CE) as a model of production and consumption designed to
retain value within the economic system. This can include
conserving natural resources, making sustainable products by
incorporating recyclability in product design, changing consumption
behaviour, and adopting more sustainable business models. The UN
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a set of objectives for
improving health and education, reducing inequality, and protecting
our shared environment globally. The CE is a key enabler to
achieving these objectives. The Circular Economy explores how the
concepts of CE can help address and meet targets linked to the
SDGs. Taking a broad view across different industries and areas,
and looking at specific SDGs, this book discusses current
activities, standards, policy and legislation and challenges to
achieving the SDGs as well as opportunities for enhancing
circularity and sustainability.
