Chapter Chapter 12 in Towards a Circular Economy, 2022, pp 217-227 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract We will begin with an introduction to the circular economy, an abstract concept that can be applied to any industry or business. This chapter will address the principles based on theoretical and empirical models that support the decision of universities to influence and improve the circular economy policies to ensure a sustainable impact in the long term, including the pillars of sustainable development. Likewise, we will look at the role of universities as drivers of education towards ecological economics that minimizes the production of residues and waste that puts effectiveness and efficiency at risk. Finally, we will examine the possible limitations and conflicts of concepts in the circular economy.
