| Abstract |
The historic-epistemological development of the circular economy concept is a process that started with the classical school of economics at the end of the 18th century and was finally consolidated during the first two decades of the 21st century. Since its beginning, classical economists showed notion of the possible consequences of reaching the limits of the planet's resources and moving into a static state. There was even concern about the negative impact of the mainstream economic market model on the environment. Such concern increased during then 20th century, resulting in a counterculture environmental movement that brought innovative ideas to regenerate and restore our resources, based on how natural systems work. As a consequence, circular economy was born in the 21st century as a robust concept considered to be a new development paradigm requiring prompt action schemes to change the use of the finite resources of our planet. |
