ABSTRACT
A circular economy offers solutions for global sustainability challenges through the transition from linear take-make-use-dispose to a better organisation of resources. However, realising has ran into various biophysical constraints. Circular implementation is shaped by Ellen MacArthur Foundation's butterfly diagram that depicts 'biological' and 'technical' flows as separate cycles, subsequently interpreted organic materials circulating in open loop systems via environment inorganic closed within society. Conversely, our view, resource often contain tightly bound combinations either due their natural composition or technical design. Building on this observation, new proposed broadens scope cover extractive sectors return anthropogenic use reserves, thereby reshaping conceptual space which such effective zero-waste-residue technologies, business models, policies can be developed optimal management integrated resources whole-system perspective. The realistic outlook limitations circularity endeavours inspire discussion supports towards sustainable economy.
