Prioritization of sustainability indicators for promoting the circular economy: The case of developing countries

Abstract: The concept of the circular economy has gained well-recognition across the world for the past decades. With the heightening risk of the impact of climate change, resource scarcity to meet the increasing world population, the need to transition to a more sustainable development model is urgent. The circular economy is often cited as one of the best solutions to support sustainable development. However, the diffusion of this concept in the industrial arena is still relatively slow, particularly in the developing… Show more

“…Meanwhile, for the efficient and comprehensive implementation of CE, efforts are required at three levels which include the micro-level (enterprises, factories, and production outfits), meso-level (eco-industrial park and inter-firm level) and macro-level (provinces, regions, states, and cities) [7]. This is in rhythm with the sustainable development objective that emphasizes cooperation of multi-levels-local, national and regional-in a formal partnership towards combating the world's problems together [9]. Nevertheless, recent studies have suggested that theoretical CE models could be proposed prior to the evaluation and subsequent adoption by the socio-economically disadvantaged nations in the frugality context.…”

“…The additional factors that result in the non-adoption of CE in Africa are the lack of knowledge on the implementation processes and the absence of information [6,7]. The practical benefits of CE adoption have been widely reported at national, sub-national and local government levels and even in the economic sectors in the countries where they are currently in practice, whereas CE is still a relatively new concept in developing countries with the exception of G20 countries, such as China [8][9][10]. As the lack of knowledge on how it can be implemented has partly hindered most African countries from adopting the concept, this suggests that research efforts should offer direction in this regard [9].…”
