Abstract

Issue 10/2022 of Orkestra Notebooks focuses on the issue of decent work in 2021-2022, due to the precariousness of work and job losses generated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The aim of this chapter is to study the impact on decent work, as well as on the objectives of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (UN, 2022), of the 5 types of circular economy business models (Accenture, 2015): Circular sourcing, Resource recovery, Product life extension, Platform sharing and Product with service.
