Abstract: The book collects business cases on circular economy set by students of Corporate Strategies for Sustainable Development (A.Y. 2019/2020) of the University of Naples L'Orientale. The project work, carried out during the lectures, concerned the collection of: experiences from companies that embrace the principles of reuse of products, reduction of waste and harmful emissions; innovative start-ups that carry out radical innovation, with the creation of a completely new technological domain and the creation of products that represent an absolute novelty.The book describes business cases following the objective of decoupling economic growth from the exhaustion of natural resources; these firms contribute to both environmental, social and economic balance through the redesign of production systems or the achievement of radical innovations (related to both process and product).
