At a time where sustainability is at the forefront of almost every business strategy, learn how you can utilize the circular economy to deliver value to your business responsibly with this essential handbook.

It's is clear that how we make and consume things is a major part of the climate crisis. The extraction and processing of materials, fuels and food makes up about half of global greenhouse gas emissions. Many modern businesses are still depleting resources, destroying ecosystems and dumping waste and pollution at every stage, harming human health along the way. Now in its third edition, A Circular Economy Handbook is a guided resource through the concepts and the practicalities.

A Circular Economy Handbook systematically explores the range of circular interventions, including product and supply chain design, material choice and supporting business models. With over 300 international real world examples, this edition contains new content focusing on the construction industry as well as new updates on the role of technological advancements and data standardization in implementing an efficient circular economy. This is a must-read for businesses, students and policymakers.
