L'économie circulaire
Author: Franck Aggeri
Publisher: La Découverte
ISBN: 2348077566
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : fr
Pages : 186
Book Description
L'économie circulaire rencontre un succès grandissant. Ses promoteurs la présentent comme un modèle alternatif à celui, dominant, de l'économie linéaire, fondé sur le prélèvement de ressources non renouvelables et générateur de déchets. L'économie circulaire promet un découplage entre croissance économique et impacts environnementaux, grâce à des stratégies de réduction à la source et de bouclage des flux de matière et d'énergie. Ce modèle est également censé créer des richesses économiques territorialisées et des emplois locaux. Mais est-ce un phénomène vraiment nouveau ? Pourquoi ce modèle rencontre-t-il un tel succès ? Quelles démarches et méthodes ses promoteurs expérimentent-ils ? Quelles difficultés rencontrent-ils ? Enfin, à quelles conditions l'économie circulaire est-elle porteuse d'un modèle de transition écologique véritablement soutenable ? Après une mise en perspective historique des pratiques et débats théoriques, ce livre analyse les modèles d'affaires et les outils utilisés par les praticiens. Enfin, il conclut sur les conditions d'un découplage effectif.

The Circular Economy and the Global South
Author: Patrick Schröder
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 0429783698
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 239
Book Description
The circular economy is a policy approach and business strategy that aims to improve resource productivity, promote sustainable consumption and production and reduce environmental impacts. This book examines the relevance of the circular economy in the context of developing countries, something which to date is little understood. This volume highlights examples of circular economy practices in developing country contexts in relation to small and medium enterprises (SMEs), informal sector recycling and national policy approaches. It examines a broad range of case studies, including Argentina, Brazil, China, Colombia, India, Indonesia, Kenya, South Africa, and Thailand, and illustrates how the circular economy can be used as a new lens and possible solution to cross-cutting development issues of pollution and waste, employment, health, urbanisation and green industrialisation. In addition to more technical and policy oriented contributions, the book also critically discusses existing narratives and pathways of the circular economy in the global North and South, and how these differ or possibly even conflict with each other. Finally, the book critically examines under what conditions the circular economy will be able to reduce global inequalities and promote human development in the context of the Sustainable Development Goals. Presenting a unique social sciences perspective on the circular economy discourse, this book is relevant to students and scholars studying sustainability in economics, business studies, environmental politics and development studies.

Preventing Environmental Damage from Products
Author: Eléonore Maitre-Ekern
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1108527450
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 386
Book Description
How to tackle environmental damage from the throwaway society is one of the defining questions of the twenty-first century. By establishing a circular economy, we can encourage and support sustainable production and consumption. These essays by an international group of leading scholars from a range of disciplines analyse policies and legal instruments and challenge mainstream assumptions, from the choice of a policy mix to the actual effect of imposing standards on the market, and from corporate objectives and priorities to the use of precaution in assessing particularly harmful substances. Each chapter contributes to a better understanding of the current policy and regulatory framework in Europe and identifies the challenges and opportunities ahead. The book breaks new ground by examining how product policies can contribute to important objectives and visions, such as the aims of the circular economy. It is a must-read for researchers as well as for policymakers and practitioners.

Towards Ending Plastic Pollution
Author: Nordic Council of Ministers Secretariat
Publisher: Nordic Council of Ministers
ISBN: 928937683X
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 99
Book Description
Available online: https://pub.norden.org/temanord2023-539/ The ‘Towards Ending Plastic Pollution by 2040’ report was commissioned by the Nordic Council of Ministers and developed by Systemiq and presents a set of 15 global policy interventions towards ending plastic pollution. If universally adopted and supported by a set of common global rules in the international legally binding instrument on plastic pollution these could cut annual volumes of mismanaged plastic waste by 90% and virgin plastic use by 30% by 2040 relative to 2019 levels. Yet, the report highlights that more ambitious efforts are needed to align with the Paris Climate Agreement and holistically address plastic pollution.
