The Handbook of the Circular Economy takes a unique look at this rapidly expanding field of activity from the perspectives of global thought leaders, world-leading researchers and industry. Exploring both transitional activity and considering a transformed Circular Economy the book is presented in three distinct sections: section one includes first-hand ideas and opinions from some of the biggest names in our 21st century Circular Economy landscape. The second section includes empirical work that considers the state-of-the-art in research from a host of perspectives ranging from accounting to innovation, from policy to communities of practice. The final section includes brief examples of leading industrial innovations that are aiming to change the world. Suitable for students, researchers, policy-makers and industrialists this handbook highlights many of the challenges we face in shifting away from our linear economy.
