About Us

Alliance for Research in Circular Economy & Sustainability

The Alliance for Research in Circular Economy & Sustainability (ARCES) is a ground-breaking international network of scholars, practitioners, policymakers, and industry specialists united by a shared mission: to foster and promote cutting-edge research within the burgeoning fields of circular economy and sustainability. In a world increasingly threatened by environmental degradation, ARCES represents a forward-thinking consortium committed to finding sustainable solutions for the 21st century and beyond.
ARCES was established to recognize the urgent need to transition from the traditional linear economic model – characterized by a 'take, make, dispose' mentality – towards a circular approach. This approach emphasizes the importance of retaining as much value as possible from resources, creating a system where waste and resource use are minimized, and the reuse and recycling of products and materials are maximized.
