The circular economy is a global movement to design out waste, make things last longer, and regenerate nature. Governments and businesses around the world are adopting it as a key approach to building a sustainable future. In this course, sustainability and circular design provocateur Leyla Acaroglu covers what a circular economy is, the goals and approaches toward enacting it, and the relationship it has to business. Leyla details specific approaches for eliminating waste, making things last longer, and regenerating nature through reuse, repair, remanufacture, and redesign. She explains each of these concepts and presents examples and recommendations for enacting them. Plus, Leyla highlights circular business models and opportunities for research and innovation that can enable the circular transition.

Various physico-chemical approaches for the removal of toxic pollutants are available, but these are not very effective. Biological approaches using microorganisms, green plants or their enzymes to degrade/detoxify contaminants are eco-friendly and low cost. This book provides a comprehensive overview of contaminants, their toxicity, and eco-friendly approaches for their management by cost effective sustainable methods.

Free Download Stakeholder Engagement in a Sustainable Circular Economy: Theoretical and Practical Perspectives by Johanna Kujala, Anna Heikkinen, Annika Blomberg
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 473 Pages | ISBN : 3031319362 | 10.6 MB
The purpose of this edited collection is to discuss the role and importance of stakeholder engagement in a sustainable circular economy from multiple theoretical and practical perspectives. Developing and maintaining a circular economy is an essential step to a more environmentally friendly and socially inclusive society. In addition to redesigning products and business models to minimise waste and increase the reuse of materials, a transition towards a sustainable circular economy requires collaboration and co-operation between various stakeholders from all parts of society. An international team of contributors explore how stakeholder engagement can foster and support sustainable change, assessing current literature and laying out guidance for future study. The collection is of interest to academics and students of sustainability management and sustainable business models, stakeholder theory and practice, and the circular economy.
