OverviewImplementing the Circular Economy for Sustainable Development presents the concept of the circular economy with the goal of understanding its present status and how to better implement it, particularly through environmental policies. It first tackles the definition of a circular economy in the context of sustainability and the differences in defining the concept across disciplines, including its fallibilities and practical examples. It then goes on to discuss the implementation of a circular economy, including the increasing variety of technological, mechanical, and chemical procedures to contend with and the need for stakeholder support in addition to improved business models. The second half of the book, therefore, presents tools, approaches, and practical examples of how to shape environmental policy to successfully implement a circular economy. It analyzes deficiencies of current regulations and lays the groundwork for the design of integrated environmental policies for a circular economy. Authored by an expert in environmental economics with decades of experience, Implementing the Circular Economy for Sustainable Development is a timely, practical guide for sustainability researchers and policymakers alike to move more efficiently toward a circular economy and sustainable development.

Circular Economy - A Summary in Times of CoronaReviewsCircular economy (CE) is a mainstream concept, yet a quick glance is enough to understand that its definition and application is heterogenous, and highly context dependent. What is the difference between the economy as we know it and the circular economy? And what are its boundaries? The book Implementing the circular economy for sustainable development addresses these questions and beyond, giving a comprehensive and detailed overview both on the theory and on practical applications of CE, thus supporting those who approach the topic for the first time and those wishing to acquire in-depth knowledge. Overall, this book examines all the aspects that can determine the success or failure of the CE application; the theoretical discussion is complemented with the analysis of both specific IEP pillars and single case studies. Anybody who wants to learn about circular economy in theory and practice may benefit from it, as the content is highly technical, but the language is easy-going. The book is recommended for professionals, consultants, policy makers and researchers. Master students may benefit from it as well. --Detritus, Volume 17, 2021 Author InformationDr. Hans Wiesmeth is the President of the Saxon Academy of Sciences and Humanities, Leipzig, Germany, and a professor emeritus of the Faculty of Business and Economics of Technical University of Dresden, Dresden, Germany.
