This book describes and assesses initiatives for adopting and developing a circular economy as a means of reaching the SDG targets in Indonesia. Indonesia is a developing country rich in natural resources, but it faces socioecological challenges including those brought about by resource extraction for accelerated economic growth. As a linear economy supports a resource-to-waste transformation with limited economic value, especially considering the cost of environmental damage, shifting toward a circular economy holds important benefits.

The transition from a linear to a circular economy, however, is challenging because it requires investment and technical, behavioral, institutional, and government policy changes. Additionally, reliable indicators are required for tracking progress toward and processes within a circular economy, including its technical, environmental, and socioeconomic aspects. This book evaluates the status of Indonesia's circular-economy initiatives as well as opportunities for expansion across sectors and regions. With contributions evaluating programs in agriculture, industry, and services, chapters discuss how to accelerate the adoption of a circular economy, including from financing perspectives.

Indonesia's experiences can help illuminate challenges and opportunities for other developing countries that are pursuing economic growth while balancing longer-term sustainability and resource conservation goals and navigating the complex interplay between formal and informal actors and activities. This book holds lessons for all countries contributing to a global, inclusive, and equitable circular economy but may be especially valuable to scholars of and professionals in developing economies.

Discusses the development of circular economy initiatives in Indonesia, with lessons for other developing countries Examines the potential of formal and informal sectors to be involved in circular economy development Evaluates how a circular economy can support economic growth and reduce income disparities in resource-based economies
