循环经济（CE）旨在通过建立技术和经济循环、最大限度地减少能源损失以及生产和消费的非物质化来保持不可再生资源的永久使用。欧洲绿色协议和欧洲循环经济行动计划等相关政治战略的一个主要目标是将资源使用与经济增长脱钩，以建立可持续的消费和生产系统（SCP）。然而，最近对 CE 辩论的批判性反思凸显了对社会可持续性和社会转型的缺失关注。有人批评说，CE 被概念化为一个建立在资本主义经济增长叙事基础上的生态现代化项目（Hobson 和 Lynch，2016）。循环社会（CS）一词的引入是为了提供一种超越增长、技术和基于市场的解决方案的替代框架。 CS概念的一个共同点是，如果没有所有社会参与者的承诺和参与，CE转型是不可能的。 CS 将向循环的转变视为一场深刻的社会生态转型。
A Circular Economy (CE) aims to keep non-renewable resources in permanent use through the establishment of technical and economic cycles, minimizing energy loss and de-materializing production and consumption. A major goal of associated political strategies, such as the European Green Deal and the European Circular Economy Action Plan is to decouple resource use from economic growth to generate sustainable systems of consumption and production (SCP). Recent critical reflections on the CE debate, however, highlight the missing concern for social sustainability and social transformation. It is critiqued that CE has been conceptualized as an ecological modernization project that builds on capitalist economic growth narratives (Hobson and Lynch, 2016).The term Circular Society (CS) has been introduced to provide an alternative framing that is going beyond growth, technology and market-based solutions. A common denominator of CS concepts is that CE transitions are not possible without the commitment and participation of all societal actors. CS frames transitions to circularity as a profound social-ecological transformation.
