<i>‘The book provides a novel, much needed approach to the circular economy. It explains why we should not forget human perspectives when pursuing circular economy and how we can better engage individuals. It also advises on many other relevant aspects, such as consumer perspectives, ethics, organization culture, leadership, competencies and lifestyle aspects. It would be an ideal course book for students and also gives insights to researchers and experts!’</i>
