Summary, in English
The concept of the circular economy, introduced by Pearce and Turner (1990), envisions an economy where waste is reused as a resource to minimise the use of primary materials. It has gained traction globally, supported by entities like the Ellen MacArthur Foundation and McKinsey & Company. Unlike the linear economy, the circular economy focusses on maintaining material value through closed loops. However, its implementation faces challenges such as legislative barriers, high costs, and consumer acceptance. Despite its potential, the circular economy is not a synonym for sustainability, requiring continuous scrutiny and leadership to address its complexities and potential trade-offs.
