In this first episode of Economics and Society, a new podcast by KU Leuven where we use the tools of economics to look at society as a whole, we delve into the Social Value of the Circular Economy in Ecuador.
Can informal recycling contribute to closing the loop in a circular economy? What is social value, and how does it differ from economic value? How can academic research and societal impact go hand in hand?
Join Professor Fernanda Soliz from the Universidad Andina Simon Bolivar and Professors Marc Craps & Simon De Jaeger from the KU Leuven's Centre for Economics and Corporate Sustainability as they shed light on the topic.
