About this Research Topic
The implementation of circular economy involves various link, including raw material collection, production, distribution, utilization and waste treatment. However, all of these links have environmental impacts, such as resource depletion, energy consumption, and soil and water pollution. In order to ensure the sustainability and environmental benefits of the circular economy. It is necessary to conduct an evaluation study of its environmental impacts.
The objectives of environmental impact assessment studies in the circular economy are to identify, analyse and assess the environmental aspects of the circular economy, to provide a basis for decision making, to promote the optimization and improvement of the circular economy and to facilitate the achievement of sustainable development.
The scope of environmental impact assessment studies in a circular economy is wide-ranging, covering various aspects such as resource utilization, energy consumption, waste management, ecosystem protection, environmental risks and social-economic impacts. Such evaluation studies can help to comprehensively understand the impact of the circular economy on the environmental and provide a scientific basis for the formulation of relevant policies and measures.
