The Circular Economy in Europe presents an overview and a critical
discussion on how circularity is conceived, imagined, and enacted
in current EU policy-making. In 2013, the idea of a circular
economy entered the stage of European policy-making in the efforts
to reconcile environmental and economic policy objectives. In 2019
the European Commission declared in a press release that the
Circular Economy Action Plan has been delivered. The level of
circularity in the European economy, however, has remained the
same. Bringing together perspectives from social sciences,
environmental economics and policy analysis, The Circular Economy
in Europe provides a critical analysis of policies and promises of
the next panacea for growth and sustainability. The authors provide
a theoretical and empirical basis to discuss how contemporary
societies conceive their need to re-organise production and
consumption and explores the messy assemblage of institutions,
actors, waste streams, biophysical flows, policy objectives,
scientific disciplines, values, expectations, promises and
aspirations involved. This book is essential reading for all those
interested in understanding how ideas about the circular economy
emerged historically, how they gained traction and are used in
policy processes, and what the practical challenges in implementing
this policy are.
