This book provides theoretical foundations for circular economy concepts, principles, and models while analysing their applications across agriculture, industry, and energy sectors. It systematically evaluates measurement frameworks and indicators that track circular economy progress among countries, with particular focus on EU member states. The authors develop and test indicator frameworks through case studies that reveal patterns of progress, convergence, or divergence in circular economy implementation. By examining policies that promote circular economic development, the book identifies the best practices for EU nations and gives recommendations based on tested frameworks.
