Faced with the limits of the linear production and consumption model, the transition to a circular economy has become a necessity to reinvent. Reinvented because the circular economy was the dominant model until the 19th century, supplanted by the linear economy model based on the extraction of new raw materials and the dumping of waste with the industrial revolution, the rise of hygienism and then the development of the consumer society.<\/p>\n

Since the consumer society, the production of waste has only increased. This growth is expected to continue with the urbanization of developing countries. In 2018, the world produced 2 billion tons of municipal waste and without a change in the model this amount is expected to increase by 70% by 2050. \u00a0On a global scale, only 9% of exploited natural resources are re-injected into the economic circuits.<\/p>\n

Recycling waste is the first stage of the circular economy followed by reuse, sharing, repair and eco-design. These strategies lower the material needs of the economy, create jobs and increase the material independence of different countries. They radically challenge production policies and forms of consumption, supply chains, relationships with suppliers and customers. The circular economy requires, worldwide, real and important changes in behavior from all actors (companies, communities, consumers\/citizens), supported by ambitious public policies.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Institut Veolia has devoted the latest issue of its journal Facts & Reports to this hot topic.\u00a0 Franck Aggeri,<\/a> Helen Micheaux<\/a> and\u00a0 Jo\u00ebl Ntsond\u00e9<\/a> of Centre de gestion Scientifique<\/a> of Mines ParisTech<\/a> Universit\u00e9 PSL <\/a>have produced and coordinated this dossier. It provides an international overview of all the socio-economic and institutional challenges that the circular economy must overcome. It is structured around three main parts entitled: a waste management model, how to change the behavior of the various players and the paths to an innovative economy. The authors of the various articles, from the socio-economic, associative and academic worlds, offer food for thought by presenting precise figures on this major theme of the 21st century.<\/p>\n
