Abstract

This chapter discusses different aspects of a sustainable circular economy, by reviewing the cumulative knowledge on strategies, approaches, and business models developed to close the cycle involving C-bearing compounds and materials. Some approaches, such as the role of the bioeconomy and of the renewable resources, as well as the introduction of the eco-design, eco-efficiency, and eco-effectiveness concepts, are discussed. A Circular Economy (CE) conceived as a way of minimizing, even avoiding waste generation is most appropriate in a decarbonizing scenario. However, circularity per se is not a warrant for sustainability and other measures need to be in place, to accomplish a sustainable circular economy. Within a decarbonization strategy, closing the carbon cycle becomes a circularity challenge. Unless the electric sector firstly passes through a drastic decarbonization, any electrification strategy will fail or be too slow to achieve the sustainability goals. The difficulties in assessing, monitoring, and measuring advances of circularity are also part of this chapter. Other required changes, such as business model, policies and regulations, social behavior, and product uses, for instance, are also discussed.
