摘要

The principle of circular economy was theorized in 2002 by the German chemist Michael Braungart and the American designer William McDonough with “cradle to cradle”. The principle of cradle-to-cradle speaks of eco-design and the idea of re-using. This is the return of Lavoisier’s famous concept from the eighteenth century: “Nothing is lost, nothing is created, everything is transformed” in a global society facing new economic expectations. The concept could be an effective response for several reasons. Scholars, policymakers, and industrialists have highlighted globally that the most successful companies will integrate sustainability, i.e., re-manufacturing, into their core business in the next decade.
