A STUDY ON WASTE MANAGEMENT IN A CIRCULAR ECONOMY
Abstract
Moving from a Linear to the Circular Economy model means far more than simply changing waste management praxis to focus on resource efficiency for mean of disposal. An element of the Framework is a demonstration paper that investigates waste-to-Value frameworks in circular economy outlook including management strategies, material recovery/recycling/reuse methods essential to meet sustainability targets. This study combines the use of both qualitative and quantitative measures to compare different waste management alternatives across for case studies in Europe and Romania. Significant decreases in resource use and waste generation because of the transition to circular economy pathways are observed, leading researchers to consider the potential benefits for environmental and economic development.
