Wishing you success; interesting and important topic, with respect to circular economic practice and science.

There is no doubt that recycling resources, especially waste, and turning them into useful commodities is one of the most important elements for achieving sustainable development and preserving economic resources, especially limited raw materials. But all the arguments of sustainable development, and We give waste a new life. Every day, preserving the environment, protecting the climate, developing poor countries and regions, protecting human and animal rights, and so on. It turned into slogans raised on all occasions and nothing was achieved, and used for narrow, petty and destructive ideological political purposes. And the evidence: wars are still going on, and in every continent there are hot spots, and the policies of armaments and destruction of the environment are still going on with force, and the violation of human rights and animal rights is still going on with force. The obvious examples are Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Libya, Afghanistan, most African countries, Ukraine,......etc.

priority:

1- The basis for economics, not politics.

2- Focusing on the value and importance of professional rather than ideological specialization.

3- Make the economy an independent variable and politics a dependent variable.

4- The shift from work and political theorizing to work and administrative organisation.

When we calculate each activity according to the logic of cost-benefit, and when the trillions of dollars spent in destruction are transferred to economic development.. Only then can we talk about the circular economy.

Thank you all for your replies. It is good to know that we all share similar views on the need of technology for reducing waste, reaching net zero and for adopting circularity.
