Circles, spirals, pyramids and cubes: why the circular economy cannot work (2018, background): “…to ‘‘fix’’ nature by intervention, other workers point to the importance of recognizing systems theory and concentrating on real-time, multi-dimensional monitoring, aimed at discovering what impact any change in human behaviour will have on the system (e.g. Moriguchi 2007; Rodrigues et al. 2016).”
Methodology and Indicators of Economy‐wide Material Flow Accounting (2011, background): “…reviews on the intellectual history of social metabolism and MFA appeared, helping to sharpen the specifics of the approach, imbed it in wider traditions, and recognize the heritage from the above-mentioned earlier efforts (Fischer-Kowalski 1998; FischerKowalski and Hüttler 1998; Moriguchi 2007).”
Progress Toward a Circular Economy in China (2011, background): “This is an understanding that China shares with the rest of the developed world and in particular with Japan and Germany, where efforts to embed these insights into a regulatory framework have been made (Triebswetter and Hitchens 2005; Moriguchi 2007).”
Proposal of a Sustainable Circular Index for Manufacturing Companies (2017, methodology): “National Level [88] Analyzed the adoption of Material flow accounting and analysis (MFA) models for measuring circular material flows.”
Circular economy in China – the environmental dimension of the harmonious society (2014, background): “In developed industrial countries, all these measures are supported and practiced more or less systematically and more or less extensively (Matthews et al. 2000; Moriguchi 2007; Mathews & Tan 2011; Hansmann et al. 2012; Preston 2012; Ulutas et al. 2012; Ellen Macarthur Foundation 2013a).”
Business Model Innovation to Create and Capture Resource Value in Future Circular Material Chains (2014, background): “These developments are taking place at different speed in different countries, and China, Japan, Germany and the Nordic countries are among the most experienced and developed in institutionalising industrial recycling initiatives [107].”
Material Flow Accounting: Measuring Global Material Use for Sustainable Development (2017, background): “Japan uses three MFA-related indicators to monitor success of its sustainable resource use policies: the material intensity of the national economy, the amount of waste that goes to landfill, and the recycling rate (143, 144).”
Circular Economy: The Concept and its Limitations (2016, background): “Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen (1971), Boulding (1966), Herman Daly (1996) and Robert Ayres (1999; see also Moriguchi, 2007) among others have debated the macroeconomic potential in cyclical material flows or the so called “fourth law” coined by GeorgescuRoegen (hereafter GR).”
Circular economy indicators in relation to eco-innovation in European regions (2017, background): “The concept was later developed by (Stahel and Reday-Mulvey 1976), and it influenced German (Bilitewski 2007) and Japanese policy in the 1980s and 1990s (Moriguchi 2007).”
