"Systemic change is required move to a circular economy (CE) model which can meet the demands of a growing population in a manner that is decoupled from resource use and waste generation. This book takes a deep dive into the innovation aspect of the circular economy (CE), with a specific focus on India as a geography, where the transformation to a circular economy is underway. How a developing country like India is tackling the complexities in the transformation and creating innovative solutions is showcased in this book through many practical examples and inspirational case studies. The book lays the foundations for mainstreaming Resource Efficiency (RE) / CE in India, and covers innovation led by businesses and start-ups, along with innovative policies, financing and collaborative models required to spur and accelerate circular economy approaches and provides linkages to the international context. Features: Provides insight into role of innovation in circular economy transition. Helps to develop and facilitate adoption of resource efficiency policy and strategy with particular focus on key resource sectors and waste streams. Treats circular economy as a holistic approach across the entire lifecycle, and places emphasis on upstream interventions and systems change. Examines current context of COVID19 and its impact on circular economy models and practices. Touches upon how the EU-based approach was adapted and contextualized significantly to work in the unique Indian landscape. This book is aimed at students, researchers and professionals in circular economy, sustainability, business innovation, environmental studies, natural resources management, environmental and resource conservation policy"--

This handbook, published by the Asian Development Bank, focuses on the implementation of waste-to-energy technologies within the framework of the circular economy. It provides an overview of various types of waste, waste management practices, and global scenarios. The handbook includes detailed descriptions of waste-to-energy conversion technologies, their outputs, and planning strategies. It aims to support ADB's developing member countries in adopting advanced energy technologies and scaling up clean energy programs. The book is intended for policymakers, industry stakeholders, and non-technical readers, offering case studies and practical insights for sustainable waste management and energy production.

Waste prevention and product ecodesign are increasingly becoming central issues as the debate on circular economy gains considerable momentum on the political agenda. Based on a legal-economic analysis of environmental law, this book provides a comparative examination of Brazilian and EU waste and product-related environmental law to answer the question of what lessons Brazil can learn from the European Union to prevent waste through product ecodesign regulation, if any. Examples of both indirect regulation such as extended producer responsibility, and direct regulation such as the Ecodesign Directive are scrutinised, showing that there is room for improvement in both jurisdictions.

"Economic circularity is the ability of a society to reduce waste by recycling, reusing, and repairing raw materials and finished products. This concept has gained momentum in academia, in part due to contemporary environmental concerns. Although the blurry conceptual boundaries of this term are open to a wide array of interpretations, the scholarly community generally perceives circular economy as a convenient umbrella definition that encompasses a vast array of regenerative and preservative processes. Despite the recent surge of interest, economic circularity has not been fully addressed as a macrophenomenon by historical and archaeological studies. The limitations of data and the relatively new formulation of targeted research questions mean that several processes and agents involved in ancient circular economies are still invisible to the eye of modern scholarship. Examples include forms of curation, maintenance, and repair, which must have had an influence on the economic systems of premodern societies but are rarely accounted for. Moreover, the people behind these processes, such as collectors and scavengers, are rarely investigated and poorly understood. Even better-studied mechanisms, like reuse and recycling, are not explored to their full potential within the broader picture of ancient urban economies. This volume stems from a conference held at Moesgaard Museum supported by the Carlsberg Foundation and the Centre for Urban Networks Evolutions (UrbNet) at Aarhus University. To enhance our understanding of circular economic processes, the contributions in this volume expand the framework of the discussion by exploring circular economy over the longue dure´e and by integrating an interdisciplinary perspective. Furthermore, the volume gives prominence to classes of material, processes, agents, and methodologies generally overlooked or ignored in modern scholarship"--
