Walter R. Stahel is proud to announce the following forthcoming publications on the Circular Economy, showing that a shift to a Circular Industrial Economy will open:

• a potential to create local jobs of all skill levels, and to drastically reduce CO2 emissions, resource consumption and waste,
• opportunities for innovations, for instance in processes and technologies to preserve the value of material stocks by recovering atoms and molecules, to replace the waste management strategy of recycling,
• new approaches in policymaking based on human labour as a renewable resource, and a new definition of waste as objects without positive value and without liable owner. An Extended Producer Liability for objects then motivates waste prevention at the source.
