Sobre aquest llibre

This comprehensive textbook offers an in-depth exploration of the circular economy, a transformative model that redefines how we produce, consume, and manage resources. It aims to replace the traditional linear "take-make-waste" approach with a sustainable system that prioritizes resource efficiency, waste reduction, and environmental stewardship. The book is divided into five parts: Part I: Introduction to the Circular Economy Lays the foundation by defining the circular economy, tracing its evolution, and explaining its core principles. It emphasizes the need for a shift from linear to circular systems to address environmental degradation and resource scarcity. Part II: Frameworks and Strategies Delves into the practical mechanisms that enable circularity, including business models like Product-as-a-Service and the sharing economy. It also explores designing for circularity through cradle-to-cradle principles, material optimization, and innovative case studies. Part III: Applications of the Circular Economy Examines how circular practices are applied across key sectors such as manufacturing, agriculture, urban systems, and consumer goods. Case studies highlight successes in areas like apparel, e-waste management, and industrial symbiosis, offering actionable insights for real-world implementation. Part IV: Challenges and Opportunities Discusses barriers to circular adoption, including economic, technical, and social challenges, and how they can be overcome through innovation and collaboration. It highlights cutting-edge technologies like IoT, AI, and blockchain that are driving the transition. Part V: Future Perspectives Explores the role of the circular economy in combating climate change and achieving net-zero goals. It emphasizes global cooperation, stakeholder involvement, and the creation of a sustainable future. Rich with case studies, policy insights, and strategies, this book serves as an essential resource for students, professionals, and policymakers. It bridges theory with practice, offering a roadmap to a more sustainable and regenerative global economy. Whether you're a beginner or an expert, this book equips you with the tools to contribute to a circular and sustainable world.
