Abstract
The present stage of economic development in China is already subjected to restrictions from the environment and resources, and a circular society is recognized as a new sustainable development strategy. Studies on the successful experiences and lessons learned from foreign law systems relating to a circular society are accumulating. The standpoint of “four factors”, namely law as a core factor, public as a basic factor, enterprise as the main body and technology as a decisive factor, for building a circular society, are discussed. Furthermore, concrete policy suggestions for establishing national laws to build a circular society are put forward based on the actual situation in China.
