Abstract

This work aims to describe and analyze the new socio economic phenomenon of waste-based circularity. To describe this process of recovery and transformation of waste, which represents the basis of circular economy, it is necessary to understand the complex articulation of the production of goods and materials, their yield and their capacity of transformation. At the heart of all this is a series of human behaviors and habits dictated by legal rules and economic and cultural approaches. If we manage to better understand these behaviors, we can activate a series of processes which could help us to determine and encourage more sustainable behaviors from an environmental, economic and social point of view.

Abstract

In this work we have highlighted why sustainability should be analyzed as a cultural concept.The sociological analysis of the last decades on the social environmentalist movements has concentrated his attention on the reasons that pulled the activists on adopting pro-environmental behaviors. These analysis have always considered the reasons of the movements as actions moved by the fear of environmental crisis. This paper contributes on conducting an analysis on sustainability with a different approach based on new paradigms.   Received: 2 May 2021 / Accepted: 15 June 2021 / Published: 8 July 2021
