Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This book offers a critical examination of the current approach to waste management, focusing on the fascinating idea of a circular economy is basically on: a homogeneous closed system, in which all waste is recycled and seamlessly recycled into production cycles , a concept that could be questioned in this book as the ultimate solution to our growing waste dilemma. The original idea is skillfully subverted by the title itself.  The idea of "closing the loop" is an example of a utopian circular economy, in which waste is turned into a consumable, and its consumption creates a kind of closed and permanent cycle Book "The Circular Fallacy." " indicates whether or not this concept is true in the real world.  The limitations of currently available technologies and resources for waste management are explored in detail throughout the book.  It sheds light on the obvious asymmetry between the idealized spherical model and the chaotic world of a world driven by endless cycles of consumption and waste. The book doesn't want to ask difficult questions that question the waste management system we currently use.  Can a culture so focused on acquiring the most up-to-date and innovative technology really eliminate waste?  Besides the limitations of the circular budget, are there other possible solutions that we haven’t yet explored?  By critically examining this concept, this book intends to stimulate critical discourse aimed at fostering forward-thinking and environmentally friendly approaches encouraging a consistent approach to waste management in the coming years.
