Downloads
This empirical review examines the circular economy and its impacts on the U.S. economy, highlighting the transition from traditional linear economic models to sustainable circular practices. The study aims to elucidate the American market's role in the global shift towards a circular economy by addressing several key objectives. These include defining relevant principles within both global and national contexts and clarifying initiatives led by American entities in circular transitioning to uncover opportunities and challenges in various markets.
The empirical brief aimed at developing a comprehensive analysis of financial and technical data on economic model shared by key stakeholders and outlines significant movements within the circular economy approach. By synthesizing these insights, the review contributes to a deeper understanding of how national implementations of circular economy principles impact both local and global economic landscapes.
