This book is a must read for every business owner as well as the policy making government bodies. It clarifies that the circular economy is not only about an ethical responsibility towards the environment but that is the need of the hour to make the businesses more profitable and sustainable.
It starts with an overview about different aspects of circular economy and then explains every aspect in detail. Each aspect is supported with various successful examples. It is recommended that you read only one chapter in one day and then jot down your ideas based on it before your further move ahead to the next chapter.

Cuốn sách đặt nặng vấn đề dữ liệu/số liệu thống kê, và dùng nó làm cơ sở cho đa số lập luận của tác giả.
