Schools of Thought on Circular Economy
| Regenerative Design | John T. Lyle | All systems can be managed regeneratively: the systems alone could generate or renew the sources of energy and materials they consume. |
| Performance Economy | Walter Stahel | The idea is to sell services instead of products. Ownership of the products or services offered is the producer's domain, while the user of the products and services pays only the rent for their use. |
| Cradle to Cradle | Michael Braungart and Bill McDonough | Materials considered obsolete must serve as a source of secondary material for other production lines. These are the flows of biological nutrients and technical nutrients. |
| Industrial Ecology | Roland Clift and Angela Druckman | This theory consists of the study of material and energy flows in industrial systems. The authors suggest that, within industrial systems, closed cycles are created so that the leftovers of the productive processes serve as material for another type of production. |
| Biomimicry | Janine Benuys | The author thinks of it as ‘innovation inspired by nature’. Biomimicry is based on three fundamental principles:
Nature as a model: studying models of nature and simulate these forms, processes, systems, and strategies to solve human problems. Nature as a measure: using an ecological standard to judge the sustainability of our innovations. Nature as a mentor: seeing and valuing nature based not on what we can extract from the natural world but on what we can learn from it. |
| Blue Economy | Gunter Pauli | It is based on 21 principles. The movement defends the creation of solutions that consider each location's environmental, ecological, and physical characteristics. Emphasis is placed on the cascading use of available resources, employing a strategy in which the leftovers of a productive process are transformed into resources and energy for another production process. |
