Rezensionen

"For the last 50 years, we have come to realise that there are not only natural resource limits to our economic growth but that our extraction methods are - indisputably - responsible for global warming, ever-increasing levels of pollution, and dire health effects. However, despite all this data, we have been reluctant to act. In the last few years, circular economy initiatives and regulations have emerged as viable remedies to these calamities, but a deeper look often reveals a lack of a true systemic circular transition. This book is closing an urgent gap because it helps us understand the actual catalyzers of circularity and in so doing, once activated, long-term, sustainable change can finally take place."

"An impressive array of experts masterfully help us to understand and expand the role of catalysts to help transition from linear to circular business models across industries, regions, and approaches. This handbook is both guidebook and playbook, and provides both sides of the telescope - informative zoom-ins, as well as insightful zoom-outs to help us take the necessary next steps to begin the transition in earnest."
