The Circular Rather than the Linear Economy [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
In this chapter, we discuss the role of circular thinking in more sustainable business models. To become more sustainable, companies need to go from traditional, linear business models based on “take, make and dispose” to circular business models based on reuse, resource efficiency, the sharing economy and closed loops. This can counteract resource depletion, reduce pollution and be a source of cost reductions, new revenue streams and better risk management for companies.
