• Circular economy – From review of theories and practices to development of implementation tools (2017, positive): “…to: the implementation of a circular economy as a new economic development strategy (Yuan et al., 2006; Geng and Doberstein, 2008; Xue et al., 2010; Mathews and Tan, 2011; Mathews et al., 2011; Geng et al., 2013; Su et al., 2013; Wu et al., 2014), including regional studies (Yang et al., 2007;…”
• Diversifying and de-growing the circular economy: Radical social transformation in a resource-scarce world (2016, background): “On the ground, this has reportedly led to a greater uptake of eco-design principles, cleaner production audits, the development of eco-industrial parks (e.g., Suzhou and Tianjin) and larger eco-cities initiatives (Geng et al., 2009; Mathews & Tan, 2011).”
• Sustainable supply chain management and the transition towards a circular economy: Evidence and some applications $ (2017, neutral): “Additionally, circular economy is primarily concerned with material flows in economic systems (Moriguchi 2007; Mathews and Tan 2011) through a paradigm shift in production philosophy; this therefore leaves other important issues such as understanding environmental impacts (such as the ones related t”
• Material Flow Accounting: Measuring Global Material Use for Sustainable Development (2017, background): “The Circular Economy Promotion Law in force since 2009 (145, 146) seeks to change the model of economic growth and industrial development by radically increasing material efficiency and sharply reducing pollution discharges.”
• Circular economy in China – the environmental dimension of the harmonious society (2014, background): “(Mathews & Tan 2011, p. 437) Hence, most Chinese scholars when explaining the theoretical background of CE, tend to take the concept further and refer to a macroeconomic distinction between neoclassical economics, which is characterized as ‘linear economy’ on the one hand and ecological economics…”
• Exploring institutional drivers and barriers of the circular economy: A cross-regional comparison of China, the US, and Europe (2017, methodology): “However, the major focus of the CE literature has been on technical issues, such as material flows and technologies (Geng et al., 2009; Mathews and Tan, 2011), and thus the concept has been criticized for largely excluding the societal factors of sustainability (Murray et al., 2015).”
