Abstract

The increasing number of people in the world indicates the increasing needs of people^s lives. Various parties can act as providers of people^s living needs. However, the increase in the number of humans and their necessities is also unfortunately followed by an increase in the amount of waste produced. Good and environmentally friendly waste management is a must and a potential. The potential is an economic improvement. One of the steps to maximize this potential is to implement a circular economy. Some countries, especially in Europe, have applied this concept to revive an environment-based economy. This study examined policies on circular economy in several countries and compared them with Indonesia to produce recommendations for localization of circular economy in policies and laws in Indonesia. This research uses legal research methods with a socio-legal approach, which uses legal science and other social sciences in constructing analysis and recommendations.
