Promotion of a Circular Economy for a Socioecological Economic Transformation in Brazil. Brazil is facing some major challenges in its economic, ecological and social development. The current economic model is putting a strain on the environment and the climate. High resource consumption, a low level of recycling and inadequate waste disposal all contribute to this. The Brazilian Government therefore wants to shift to an ecological and socially inclusive economic growth. The Ecological Transformation Plan and the National Circular Economy Strategy aim to change the economic model. This transformation calls for profound structural changes in how resources and products – from the design stage to final disposal – are produced, utilised, recycled and regenerated. At the same time, the circular economy offers enormous opportunities for sustainable business models and resource-saving production in various sectors. Paying special attention to disadvantaged groups is crucial to reduce social inequalities. Objective The economic policy conditions for promoting a socially inclusive circular economy in Brazil have improved. |
