Other definitions and precise thresholds that separate linear from circular activity have also been developed in the economic literature. [29] [24] [25] History and aims [ edit ] Adopting an engineering circular lifecycle approach undeniably brings a considerable set of challenges. Complex engineering systems, especially those with extended lifecycles and intricate safety and certification governance frameworks, may encounter difficulties while transitioning to renewable energy sources. However, the circular lifecycle concept is adaptable to a broad range of manufactured and engineered products, affirming its universal applicability. In 2010, the concept of circular economy started to become popular internationally after the publication of several reports. [32] The engineering lifecycle is a well established approach in the design and systems engineering of complex and certified systems. It refers to the series of stages that a complex engineered product passes through, from initial concept and design, through to production, use, and end-of-life management. The approach is commonly used in heavy manufacturing and heavily regulated industries (for example aviation). In addition to the above legislation, the EU has amended the Eco-design Working Plan to add circularity criteria and has enacted eco-design regulations with circular economy components for 7 product types (refrigerators, dishwashers, electronic displays, washing machines, welding equipment and servers and data storage products). [215] These eco-design regulations are aimed at increasing the reparability of products by improving the availability of spare parts and manuals. [215] At the same time, the European research budget related to the circular economy has increased considerably in the last few years: it has reached 964 million euros between 2018 and 2020. [214] In total, the European Union has invested 10 billion euros on Circular Economy projects between 2016 and 2019. [215]

France is also adding several texts and measures for a better circular economy in the country such as the roadmap for circular economy in 2018, consisting of 50 measures for a successful transition to circular economy. [231] The Luxembourg added in 2019 Circular economy in their data-driven innovation strategy, considering it now as a crucial field for innovation in the next years. It is present in most sectors of the country's development plan even if it is still only at the beginning of its development. [247]
As with the traditional engineering lifecycle, this approach can be applied to all engineering systems, with the depth of activity tailored depending on the complexity of the product. and can that incorporate multiple inter requiring planning, substantial resource consumption, and prolonged service lifetimes. The various approaches to 'circular' business and economic models share several common principles with other conceptual frameworks:The circular economy can cover a broad scope. Researchers have focused on different areas such as industrial applications with both product-oriented, natural resources and services, [45] practice and policies [46] to better understand the limitations that the CE currently faces, strategic management for details of the circular economy and different outcomes such as potential re-use applications [47] and waste management.
