Circular Economy and Sustainable Development
This thesis aims at contributing with new academics knowledge within the field of Circular Economy (CE). It is doing so by exploring the concept of CE in relation to sustainable development and seeks to understand the possible contribution of CE in the creation of a more sustainable system within the planetary boundaries. It does so through a literature study and semi-structured interviews with researchers within the sustainability field. The result shows that CE, in theory, seems to fulfill environmental sustainability criteria's but that the theory is lacking in solutions for social sustainability. The results from the interviews points in different directions in regard to CE's likeliness of success. The thesis concludes that CE is building on existing concepts but with new implementation and more of a business target group. It also concludes the importance of keeping sustainability as a goal and of business initiatives for CE to be suplemented with policy instruments. CE seems to be an important part of the sustainability solution but not the solution.
