Sufficiency in social practices: An underestimated potential for the transformation to a circular economy

open access: yesFrontiers in Sustainability, 2023
To date, the circular economy has fallen short of its promise to reduce our resource demand and transform our production and consumption system. One key problem is the lack of understanding that highly promising strategies such as refuse, rethink, and ...
