Circular economy as assistance for sustainable development in OECD countries

“…Korhonen et al (2018) identify the CE as a new business model expected to lead to more SD by separating economic growth from the negative consequences of resource depletion and environmental degradation. Philp and Winickoff (2018) support the idea that moving towards a CE requires that the transition process be managed sustainably. Notwithstanding Geissdoerfer et al (2017), the relationship between the CE and sustainability is not clear and highlights both positive and negative aspects of the relationship.…”

Revisiting the Concept of the Edited Collection: Bioinformational Philosophy and Postdigital Knowledge Ecologies

“…If the bioeconomy concerns using for example renewable feedstocks to produce everyday goods and services, this now encompasses a wide range of sectors and activities, such as food, agriculture and forestry. The bioeconomy is a new means of production that will gradually replace fossil-based production and be consistent with the concept of a circular economy (Philp and Winickoff 2018). As such, this combination of digital and biological transformation has significant implications for companies, as it changes the design and handling of production processes and their products.…”

Biodigital Philosophy, Technological Convergence, and Postdigital Knowledge Ecologies

“…The bioeconomy concerns using renewable feedstocks to produce everyday goods and services but now encompasses a wide range of sectors and activities including chemicals, food, agriculture, dairy, forestry, pulp and paper, waste management and others. Therefore, the bioeconomy is now seen as a new means of production that will gradually replace fossil-based production and be consistent with the concept of a circular economy (Philp and Winickoff 2018). The combination of digital and biological transformation therefore has significant implications for companies as it changes the design and handling of production processes and their products.…”
