We are pushing planetary boundaries to their limits, with climate change and threats to biodiversity and oceans as just a few examples. Significant impacts are already being felt, and both people and planet face potentially catastrophic and irreversible consequences if we don’t urgently change our global model and systems. Our current linear “take, make, waste” models of production and consumption will not be sustainable in a world of some 9 billion people by 2050, especially with ever-expanding rates of consumption. Thriving within these dynamics demands more than incremental adjustments to business-as-usual. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe circular economy offers a powerful means to decouple growth from use of scarce and harmful resources, enabling greater production and consumption with fewer negative environmental impacts—at the same time, making companies more innovative and competitive.\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eIn fact, this book shows that $4.5 trillion in economic value is at stake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDelivering on the promise of a circular economy demands impact and scale, extending through value chains and, ultimately, disrupting the entire economic system.   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Circular Economy Handbook\u003c\/i\u003e, the authors illuminate the path from insight to action, from linear to circular.
