Description
Summary:Championed by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, a circular economy "decouples economic activity from consumption" and replaces linear production with circular models designed to eliminate waste and pollution, optimize recycling and reuse and regenerate natural systems. Maury Salz, past president of the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers, described the group's new initiative to move the bioeconomy (agriculture, forestry and aquaculture) toward increased circularity (see asabe.org/CBS). Engineering Change Lab-USA is a social change lab founded in 2017 that convenes leaders from across the engineering community to learn, share perspectives, provoke new ways of thinking and change the profession to benefit society.
