Excerpt

The term, Circular Economy, is beginning to be seen with some frequency in technical journals. The term originated in the field of inquiry known as environmental economics. Only a year ago, the concept was officially promoted by the World Economic Forum, which in 2018, in collaboration with several governments and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) such as World Resources Institute (WRI) and Ellen MacArthur Foundation, published a document called Platform for Accelerating the Circular Economy (PACE) to stimulate developments that adopt the principles of Circular Economy. Several multi-national corporations are also participants in implementing PACE. At the political level, this idea of development is now included in the European Union Horizon 2020 strategy.
