Circularity marks a paradigm shift from the traditional linear economy to the necessary circular economy. This volume captures the importance of circularity and its critical role in achieving global sustainability. A sustainable circular economy (SCE) is a model of production and consumption, which involves prolonging the lifecycle of existing materials and products as long as possible. SCE addresses global challenges by implementing three base principles: eliminating waste and pollution, circulating products and materials, and regenerating natural resources. Circular development builds a sustainable society through the conservation and use of environmental resources.

• Circular economy addresses global challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss, waste, and pollution.
• Illustrates how a circular economy can be a way to mitigate society's challenges, both from environmental and from economic and societal perspectives.
• Describes how circular development becomes a model of economic, social, and environmental production and consumption that can help achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
• Demonstrates that green sustainable chemistries can and should be leading contributors in the discussion on environmental science and chemistry.
• Highlights new models, processes, applications, and developments in circular economics and green chemistry, which demonstrate how sustainability is adapting in the new age.
