“…Other methods, such as integrated assessment models, have been used to study sustainability and the bioeconomy but have not been applied formally to CE yet (Lee, 2017). The purpose of this review was not to be exhaustive, however, but rather to give an overview and guidance over the methods that have mostly been used to study circular strategies.…”

The goal of the circular economy (CE) is to transition from today's take-make-waste linear pattern of production and consumption to a circular system in which the societal value of products, materials, and resources is maximized over time. Yet circularity in and of itself does not ensure social, economic, and environmental performance (i.e., sustainability). Sustainability of CE strategies needs to be measured against their linear counterparts to identify and avoid strategies that increase circularity yet lead to unintended externalities. The state of the practice in quantitatively comparing sustainability impacts of circular to linear systems is one of experimentation with various extant methods developed in other fields and now applied here. While the proliferation of circularity metrics has received considerable attention, to-date, there is no critical review of the methods and combinations of methods that underlie those metrics and that specifically quantify sustainability impacts of circular strategies. Our critical review herein analyzes identified methods according to six criteria: temporal resolution, scope, data requirements, data granularity, capacity for measuring material efficiency potentials, and sustainability completeness. Results suggest that the industrial ecology and complex systems science fields could prove complementary when assessing the sustainability of the transition to a CE. Both fields include quantitative methods differing primarily with regard to their inclusion of temporal aspects and material efficiency potentials. Moreover, operations research methods such as multiple-criteria decision-making (MCDM) may alleviate the common contradictions which often exist between circularity metrics. This review concludes by suggesting guidelines for selecting quantitative methods most appropriate to a particular research question and making the argument that while there are a variety of existing methods, additional research is needed to combine existing methods and develop a more holistic approach for assessing sustainability impacts of CE strategies.

“…IAM is used to combine several disciplinary areas to understand systems linkages and interactions, and thereby meet many objectives such as sustainability, economic costs and others (Madani et al, 2015). IAM reports on interactions between endogenous variables (Lee, 2017) and, for example, has been used to exploit knowledge from multiple disciplines to assess climate change policy alternatives (Weyant et al, 1996). An important advantage of IAM in the air pollution context is that it provides "quick" simulations without having to repeatedly run dispersion models (Oxley et al, 2013).…”

“…Instead of assessing the effects of suggested policies, IAM aids policy makers in describing optimal outcomes and as a result decisions (Tol, 1997). Lee (2017) compared it with eight other econometric methodologies and ranked it last due to its high operating cost and complicated implementation. In the literature, this method has been mainly applied to climate change policy studies (e.g.…”

The complementary use of game theory for the circular economy: A review of waste management decision-making methods in civil engineering

First study to contrast five decision-making tools with game theory.  Game theory is still undergoing consideration for use in the circular economy.  Cooperation is a feature too often missing in waste management decision-making.  Waste management can benefit from game theory capabilities to resolve conflict.  An adapted waste management bargaining example shows the potential of game theory.

Diante do consenso sobre a urgência das questões ambientais e a crescente preocupação sobre a escassez dos recursos naturais, novos modelos de desenvolvimento têm sido propostos. Considerando a contribuição potencial das abordagens de Economia Circular (EC) e Bioeconomia para esse contexto, este estudo buscou responder a seguinte questão de pesquisa: como os modelos de EC e Bioeconomia se relacionam na literatura? A partir dessa indagação foi desenvolvida uma revisão sistemática da literatura com o objetivo de analisar: (i) como as pesquisas abordam essa relação; (ii) quais são as características desses estudos; (iii) quais os aspectos metodológicos mais recorrentes; (iv) quais são as principais iniciativas e programas existentes; e (v) quais são os principais atores. Este estudo permitiu avançar no conhecimento sobre a EC e a Bioeconomia na medida em que os principais resultados demonstraram o aumento do interesse dos pesquisadores na temática, apontaram para a complementaridade das abordagens a partir da rede de palavras-chave gerada, elencaram as principais iniciativas de EC e Bioeconomia que tem sido norteadoras das ações de diversos países e apontaram para a necessidade de maior cooperação entre a comunidade científica, as empresas privadas, o governo e a sociedade para que se estabeleça uma política ambiental eficaz.
