Management of Circular economy

Principles, drivers, business models and measurement.
A book by Natalia Marzia Gusmerotti, Marco Frey, Fabio Iraldo

Published by Franco Angeli,, the book provides a wide-ranging analysis of the way in which companies, especially in our country, are taking up a decisive challenge to achieve sustainable development objectives, while strengthening the competitive capacity of the national production system.

This is a new economic model that aims to preserve the value of resources over time, in cyclical systems, based on a conscious design from a life-cycle perspective, with the aim of regenerating natural capital and the ecosystem services that this guarantees, helping to counteract the effects of climate change. 

The book, addressing a  heterogeneous target of policy makers, managers, professionals and researchers, focuses on the defining framework, on the principles and criteria that must guide the transition towards the maximization of circularity, and on the drivers - external and internal - that stimulate companies to change. The book also explores two fundamental aspects of business management, namely innovative and competitive business models and the measurement of circularity levels of processes and products.
