BASICS FOR AN INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACH
BASICS FOR AN INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACH
CALLING THINGS BY THEIR NAMES: Reaching a full transition to a circular economy asks for a determination of its concept, criteria, standards, and requirements. We need to have common grounds when discussing circular solutions. A debate will be taken on: what are the specific limits and content of the concept of circular economy; if those limits and content are being translated into standards; and if it is possible to determine and implement clear requirements to reach circularity.

LEGAL FRAMEWORK FOR CIRCULARITY
(PRODUCT AND PROCESS DESIGN AND CONSUMPTION)
FROM CRADLE-TO-CRADLE: A legal framework for a circular economy asks for a conclusion on how current regulations and norms should be adapted to reach the final aim of circularity. A debate must be taken on what are the relevant areas for circularity and how to interconnect diversified fields of the law. This debate will be centered on product and processes design, consumption, waste and secondary markets and legal incentives for circularity. Applying legal solutions must start by determining where the legal obstacles are - in all fields of law –, but also where incentives can be created.

LEGAL LIMITS TO THE TRANSITION?
LEGAL LIMITS TO THE TRANSITION?
WHERE TO STOP: Circularity represents a disruptive concept in the legal realm. The transition to a circular economy will impact our current socio-economic model. The consequences and legal limits imposed by the rule of law and the duty to respect fundamental rights in this transition should be drawn and taken into consideration when debating the legal framework for circularity.
