The Circular Economy Handbook: Realizing the Circular Advantage

This handbook is an essential read for anyone working in business (or anyone interested in sustainability) who wants to understand how we transition away from a linear economy. It succinctly introduces you to the fundamental principles of the circular economy and how essential it is that we decouple economic activity from the consumption of finite resources. It provides case studies and practical examples to inspire business change. An insightful, inspiring and practical read. Highly recommended.

An chance of a Kindle download preview of the book? I mean it’s a very late entrant into this subject matter and most of the subject has been covered pretty thoroughly elsewhere - it would be good to know if it is worth spending £17 on it to learn something new.

As we round the corner into a new decade it is paramount that our businesses, people and society as a whole begin to act with more sustainable and circular practices. This timing of this publication is perfect; it is high-time the thoughts, words and sentiments were converted into real behavioural change, and these pages provide the guidance that has been clamoured for on the practicalities of 'how to get there'.The book is filled with illuminating insights from case-studies across Accenture's vast roster of clients. I particularly enjoyed the discussion on circular maturity, as a well thought out map of how to move organisations towards ultimate circularity.

Humankind is rapidly approaching an critical juncture in history. Either we go on as before, facing consequences hitherto unimagined, or step back from the cliff edge. We must act now, to transform our economy, our global rulebook and our daily lives for the better. Towards this new modus operandi, every little helps.Through a rich repository of examples, deep functional and technological insight and interviewee commentary, the Circular Economy Handbook demonstrates what role business can play in achieving this. It's a must for every conscious manager or leader out there.

The language is a bit too corp-speaky for me (written by business consultants so lots of "synergy", "value", "innovation" and silly diagrams thrown around), but it is comprehensive and has lots of examples. Great introduction to the topic overall.

Livro muito completo sobre Economia Circular, com vários exemplos de diversos setores. Bom resumo para trabalhos académicos e para conhecimento geral

Just as described! Recomended

Nothing

I would recommend Stahel’s handbook over this one. Or Kate Raworth’s Donut Economics.
