  1. The Circular Economy in a new perspective Hervé Corvellec Department of Service Studies Lund University CIRCULAR BUSINESS MODELS – Importance and possibilities” Helsingborg 7th of June, 2018

  2. The circle metaphor • Something that is closed • The symbol of perfection • Metaphysics of totality • Eternal return • Mystical protection

  3. A model for green growth • A industry driven model • A model for growth • A model of effectiveness (rather than efficacy) • A model for security of supply • Speed as implicit dimension • Instead of sustainability

  4. Revisiting the butterfly diagram

  5. Bio / Industrial Industrial circles Bio circles

  6. Circular + Economy Economic circles Material circles

  7. Material rationaleinstead of economic rationale • Whereas money has a virtually endless capacity to move, add, and renew itself • Material is situated in time and space, needing energy to move and getting old • CE assumes that one builds aperfect match of the two

  8. Silences of the Circular Economy • Where are dispersion and space? • Where are frictions? • Where is energy? • Where are spills? • Where is the need for growth of new inputs? • Where is power?

  9. Nothing is circular before it has been re-somethingCircularity is a bet on the futureAnd how many laps are we speaking of?

  10. An incantation? A magic expression that draws on the mystical signification of the circle to protect material welfare and the environment, but also material-and-energy-intensive business models and political promise of endless growth. But that ignores the material rationales of time, space, and energy.
