Natural Resource Management and the Circular Economy examines how economies can reduce dependence on the linear cycle of extraction, consumption and disposal. It connects circularity to resource security, environmental protection and the economic risks created by volatile prices and constrained supplies.
The book evaluates fiscal and non-fiscal policy instruments that can encourage efficiency, reuse, recovery and more durable production systems. Comparative cases and best practices show how governments and organisations can combine regulation, incentives and institutional reform rather than treating waste management as the endpoint.
For policymakers, resource managers, businesses, researchers and students, it offers a practical introduction to the choices required to make circular natural-resource management credible and effective.
