Abstract

Although governments, businesses, and organisations representing civil society have all shown an interest in helping to accomplish the Sustainable Development Goals, doing so is not always simple. Sustainability and the circular economy (CE) are connected but distinct concepts-While sustainability seeks to balance the use of non -renewable resources with their rising consumption, CE which may be the only sustainable economic model for the future aims to increase the productivity of the productive process by minimising, reusing, and recycling as many of the by-products as is practical. The aim of this paper is to present the solution by bringing in the concept of Circular economy and the Sustainable development goals. And to inform the various stakeholders about the importance of the circular economy as a tool to accelerate progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals.
