Circular economy is an innovative concept, promising the efficient use and reuse of resources and a strong business case. It is a sustainable development strategy that is being proposed to tackle the problems of environmental degradation and weaken the dependence of economy on natural resources and environment. By helping to decouple economic growth from resource use, the transformation to circular economy offers a prospect of sustainable growth that will last. As a low-input, high-recycling, high-efficiency, high-technology and industrialized set of practices, circular economy could create jobs, foster rural youth employment, mitigation and gender mainstreaming. Regarding these questions and the importance of taking the benefits from circular economy, in this book we offer an analysis that give the answers about the current status, the needs, the benefits, the effects and obstacles of circular economy. The results will help in creating goals, strategy and measures for their implementation.
