Abstract

The chapter delves into the intricacies of the circular economy, highlighting the European Union's efforts to transition from a linear to a circular model through the Green Deal. It discusses the challenges faced, such as integrating existing materials and managing waste streams, and the need for policy support. The discussion also emphasizes the importance of consumer behavior change, the role of small and medium-sized enterprises, and the potential benefits of a circular economy, including environmental protection, resource security, and economic growth. The chapter concludes with the necessity for multi-stakeholder collaboration and education to address the pressing issues of the circular economy effectively.
