  • More about The Circular Economy in the European Union: An Interim Review

The implementation of the circular economy will require a significant shift from a resource-destroying, linear economy to a circular one that operates within the planet's regenerative boundaries. This book provides an interim assessment of the implementation of a circular economy in the EU, highlighting achievements, scientific principles, and NGO demands. It argues for abandoning the "hamster wheel" of material-based satisfaction and emphasizes the importance of the economy for a good life for all.

The transition towards a circular economy represents a significant shift from a resource-depleting, linear economic model to one that operates within the confines of the planet's regenerative capacities. This comprehensive book offers an interim evaluation of the implementation of a circular economy within the European Union (EU). It uncovers noteworthy achievements made by various EU institutions, although these accomplishments may not be widely recognized by the public. Additionally, it explores the fundamental scientific principles that can be applied to this context and highlights the demands of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) for further progress. The book compellingly argues against perpetuating the "rat race" of material-driven fulfillment of our needs and demonstrates how the economy stands as a hindrance to achieving a good life for all. Given its ecological sustainability focus, this book will captivate individuals interested in developing an economically viable system that aligns with environmental concerns.
