Produktbeschreibung

This edited volume explores the implementation of the circular economy (CE) in Southeast Asia, a densely populated region with a significant share of global production. It examines the region's transition from a linear to a circular economy, providing a comprehensive overview of CE applications across various parts of Southeast Asia. The book offers unique and empirical insights into the approaches, methods, laws, and policies that facilitate the transformation to a CE. It highlights how recent research, trends, and attitudes can be practically oriented towards sustainable development. By linking environmental theory with practice, the book provides practitioners with a deeper understanding of CE and the challenges involved in its implementation.

A timely and practical guide, this book is essential for sustainability researchers and policymakers in Asia striving to achieve CE and sustainable development goals. It presents an up-to-date picture of Southeast Asia's fast-growing economy, showcasing the region's heavy investment in development infrastructure and cooperative efforts towards environmental sustainability. Authored by professionals with deep insights into the region's economy and development potential, the chapters offer empirical, research-based perspectives on recent economic trends. This volume fills a crucial knowledge gap regarding Southeast Asian economies, their environmental conditions, and development potential. It also guides emerging economies like Vietnam in sustainable development, helping them avoid the pitfalls of environmental missteps in production, resource utilization, and consumption.
