This edited collection offers fresh perspectives on sustainable development and social impact using a circular economy framework. Against the backdrop of escalating environmental challenges such as resource depletion and climate change, transitioning from a linear to a circular economy is a key step towards meeting the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.

Circular supply chains are pivotal in this transformation, focusing on resource efficiency, recycling and waste reduction, with consumer roles also playing a key part. Building on theoretical foundations, the chapters in the book use quantitative and qualitative research to explore practical solutions and transformative potential across industries and urban settings, addressing global economic, environmental, and social challenges. The book fosters a deeper understanding of circular economy principles and inspires actionable changes, with consumers becoming active participants in the circular economy. By focusing on consumer knowledge, eco-innovation, and urban readiness, it provides a systemic, holistic approach to circular economy studies.

This book will be of interest to researchers, academics and students interested in enhancing their understanding of circular economy principles and practices, including those in environmental science, sustainable development, economics, and business.
