Research Framework for Methodology and System Techniques based on Domestic and International Surveys of Circular Economy aiming at SDGs Realization

Abstract

The first purpose of this research is to show how to proceed with domestic and international surveys on EC in order to solve the social problem of SDGs Goal 12, “Responsibility for production and consumption.” Its research includes CE policies, international standards, case studies of advanced industries in companies and local governments. The second research objective is to devise “CE-oriented multi-generational and circular value chain management (VCM)” based on the results of the survey. Then, our research team sets five research themes related to this VCM, and proposes how to proceed with research and development and empirical research on “methodologies” and “system techniques” related to each research theme.
