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
