Understanding Economy as a Complex System
This handbook shall be a guide for managers who want to pave the way to a circular economy. Inspired by the Systems Innovation Network (SI), it delivers a description of the basic understanding of Systems Thinking that is needed to find one’s way in the complex and everchanging world of economics.
As Thinking Circular® it is our mission to give orientation in the economic jungle of dysfunctional systems to make circular economy not only a vision but reality. Therefore, we have adopted and adapted SI tools with circular approaches.
This handbook shall build a bridge from Systems Innovation to Circular Economy.
Study: The TOP 10 circular materials
Every year, about 100 billion tons of material are taken from the planet. Of these 100 billion tons, 10 billion tons p.a. are circular. 1.5 billion tons of these are the top 10 materials, of which we looked closely at the TOP 5. So our study subject covered not even 1.5% of the global material flow.
