La economía circular –la nueva palabra mágica en el mundo del desarrollo sostenible- promete crecimiento económico sin destrucción o residuos. Sin embargo, el concepto solo enfoca en una parte pequeña del uso total de recursos y no tiene en cuenta las leyes de la termodinámica. Introduciendo la economía circular La economía circular ha llegado a ser, para muchos gobiernos, instituciones, compañías, y organizaciones ecologistas, uno de los principales componentes de un plan para reducir las emisiones de carbono. En la economía circular,

"For example, a recent study of the modular Fairphone 2 – a smartphone designed to be recyclable and have a longer lifespan – shows that the use of synthetic materials, microchips, and batteries makes closing the circle impossible. Only 30% of the materials used in the Fairphone 2 can be recuperated. A study of LED lights had a similar result."
De lo que no es "fair" ya ni hablamos ¿5%?
"Furthermore, in the case of electronic products, the production process itself is much more resource-intensive than the extraction of the raw materials, meaning that recycling the end product can only recuperate a fraction of the input."
y sigue, y sigue
"What’s more, technology to harvest and store renewable energy relies on difficult-to-recycle materials. That’s why solar panels, wind turbines and lithium-ion batteries are not recycled, but landfilled or incinerated."

Lo siento, yo que es flipo con el artículo
"Only 9 Gt is then put in a landfill, incinerated, or dumped – and it is this 9 Gt that the circular economy focuses on. But even if that was all recycled, and if the recycling processes were 100% efficient, the circle would still not be closed: 63 Gt in raw materials and 30 Gt in material products would still be needed."
La "economía circular" parece el nuevo "crear sinergías"
