Edited by Miguel Brandão, Associate Professor of Industrial Ecology and Life Cycle Assessment, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden, the late David Lazarevic, formerly Senior Research Scientist, Environmental Policy Centre, Finnish Environment Institute SYKE, Finland and Göran Finnveden, Professor of Environmental Strategic Analysis, Department of Sustainable Development, Environmental Science and Engineering (SEED) and Vice-President for Sustainable Development, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden

'In the present tsunami of new publications on the circular economy, this book sticks out through the broad analysis with regard to topics and regions covered by case studies. Let us hope that the book will motivate managers, policy-makers, educators, material scientists and economists to look at the present slowdown as a facilitator to change course towards a more sustainable and resilient society, towards a circular economy.'
