A chapter in Sustainable Development Seen Through the Lenses of Ethnoeconomics and the Circular Economy, 2024, pp 63-74 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract One of the challenges of the surfing industry (SI), over time, has been the minimization of environmental impact. By embracing circular economy (CE) practices, SI not only promotes sustainability, but also aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). With the general objective of understanding the impact of CE on SI, this chapter investigates the incorporation of CE principles in SI and their relationship with the SDGs. To achieve the proposed objective, a narrative review was conducted with the purpose of examining current SI practices, including waste management, sustainable production and responsible consumption. The consonance between these practices and the SDGs themselves was assessed, and finally, a mapping of how SI can contribute to sustainable development goals based on the SDGs was carried out. Based on the results, recommendations are made for the effective integration of circular principles and SI in support of a more responsible future aligned with the SDGs.
