This crucial Handbook investigates an urgent area for
policy-makers, academia and industries alike: the circular economy.
International experts on the subject bring together the latest
thinking on this critical global issue. Providing a comprehensive
overview of the mechanisms and consequences of the circular
economy, as well as its limitations, it raises important questions
concerning how the world should proceed when non-renewable
resources, such as fossil fuels and minerals, are being depleted
and the environment is struggling to cope with the waste and
emissions of unsustainable production and consumption systems.
Contributors explore a broad range of themes, such as new
sustainable production and consumption systems, new design
requirements, recycling systems, new business models and the social
impacts of the circular economy, while also consolidating the many
ways in which the topic has been dealt with in research, business
and policy-making. Shedding light on a concept that has become
increasingly relevant during the last decade, the Handbook of the
Circular Economy is essential reading for students, academics and
policy-makers trying to make sense of the plethora of ways in which
the term has been applied and interpreted.
