- Zusatztext
- <p>This book explores an escalating modern-day crisis; managing waste in a&nbsp;sustainable way. The central question posed is whether advancing a circular&nbsp;economy provides a way to shift waste management practices towards more&nbsp;sustainable approaches. It begins with an in-depth analysis of the nature of waste&nbsp;management and the prevailing crisis, followed by a discussion about the circular&nbsp;economy in terms of its requirements and the challenges of implementation. The&nbsp;book then moves on to propose a framework that sets out how to establish the&nbsp;policy changes needed to advance a circular approach to waste management.&nbsp;Next, the book outlines complex issues in multilevel systems for advancing a&nbsp;circular economy through examining the contemporary situation in Belgium and&nbsp;Norway. It ends by bringing together the issues revealed in these case studies&nbsp;and draws insights for governments advocating circular approaches. The book&nbsp;will be a valuable resource to scholars, students, practitioners and policy makers&nbsp;interested in developing more sustainable methods of waste management.</p>
