摘要近年来，循环经济的概念在欧盟政策制定中占据了重要地位。循环经济促进了一个线性的“制造-使用-处置”文化被更循环的模式所取代的未来。在本文中，我们使用的概念，社会技术的概念，问如何循环的想象已经组装和稳定，哪些想象力的资源被利用，以及如何目标，优先事项，利益和风险已经与创新，可持续发展和增长的话语合并。借鉴政策文件和欧盟委员会的政策官员的采访，我们认为，监测框架和指标的发展功能作为一个网站的集体想象力，其中理想的“循环”的未来共同生产。人们设想，这些未来将为私营部门提供新的机会，创造就业机会和经济增长，同时改善某些环境指标所衡量的自然环境。
ABSTRACT In recent years the concept of the circular economy gained prominence in EU policy-making. The circular economy promotes a future in which linear ‘make-use-dispose’ cultures are replaced by more circular models. In this paper, we use the concept of sociotechnical imaginaries to ask how an imaginary of circularity has been assembled and stabilized, which imaginative resources were drawn on, and how goals, priorities, benefits and risks haven been merged with discourses of innovation, sustainability and growth. Drawing on policy documents and interviews with policy officers of the European Commission, we argue that the monitoring framework and indicator development function as a site collective imagination in which desirable ‘circular’ futures are co-produced. These futures are imagined to provide novel opportunities for the private sector and to generate jobs and economic growth while at the same time improving the natural environment as measured by selected environmental indicators.
