Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The circular economy is an economic growth model that takes the efficient utilization and recycling of resources as a core principle; takes "reduction, reuse and recycling" (3R) as another principle; takes low consumption, low emission, and high efficiency as basic characteristics; and conforms to the concept of sustainable development. It should be noted that the implementation of the circular economy is a cost-effective economy. The implementation of the circular economy requires technology, investment, and operational costs, which are based on capital flow. To implement the circular economy, we should not only pay attention to the cost and capital elements, but also pay attention to the possibility and rationality of connecting material and energy recycling in time–space allocation. The implementation of the circular economy takes the "3R" as a basic principle and effectively integrates the elements of material, energy, time, space, and capital under certain conditions. Reducing emissions is an important connotation of the circular economy. Therefore, strengthening environmental management and developing the circular economy are inseparable considerations. "Waste recycling, cleaner production and resource conservation" has become an advanced concept of international environmental management. Environmental management and the circular economy promote each other. Papers addressing these topics are invited for this Special Issue, especially those combining a high academic standard coupled with a practical focus on the green economy and a quantitative approach to green environmental management.
