The goal of this glossary is to help students to understand some of the basics of circular economy. All definitions in the glossary are provided with reliable references as a source. For further explanation of definitions you might consult those references at the end of the glossary. Circular Economy is a relative new subject, besides a lot of publications (Webster, 2017) (Ellen MacArthur Foundation, 2025) (European Commission, 2020) (European Parliament, 2025) (Gleeson-White, 2014) (IIRC, 2021) (Hirsch & Schempp, 2020) (Raworth, 2017) (Schoenmaker & Schramade, 2023), there is not really a common Body of Knowledge (BoK). In several Dutch academic minors for bachelors (in educational units of 30 credits of ECTS or 840 academic hours of workload or study) we find some ideas of a body of knowledge (Kies op Maat, 2025), as well as in a master study (of 60 ECTS) in the circular economy (HAN, 2025). In the Body of Knowledge, we observe the well-known three elements of competencies: Knowledge, Skills and Attitude. In this glossary, we will develop the content of several competencies of circular economy.

"Yuliya Yurchenko is a senior lecturer and researcher in political economy at University of Greenwich. She is currently in Ukraine on an extraordinary leave. And while she writes that she is, for the moment, in relative safety, that could change any moment. Being a Ukrainian, an activist and an academic, Yuliya traveled to Ukraine on Feb 19, 2022 as part of a fact-finding and solidarity mission with a number of MPs, trade unionists and journalists. The goal, she says, of this mission is to connect with civil society organizations, trade unions, activists and politicians, and “to express direct, cross-border solidarity from the UK working class to the Ukrainian working class.”

Le monde doit faire face à trois crises majeures : environnementale, inégalitaire et financière. Face aux limites de la macroéconomie classique négligeant largement ces trois enjeux pourtant cruciaux, l'Institut Veblen nous propose ici les bases d'une réflexion sur le renouveau des modèles macroéconomiques qui ne doivent plus ignorer les questions climatique, sociale et d'instabilité financière.

To properly answer this question, it is essential to understand what economic growth really is. The term ‘growth’ is often associated with an increase in wealth, a term loosely defined, but according to the degrowth-movement, economic growth is a narrower concept only describing an increase in Gross Domestic …
