摘要

With the financial support of the National Natural Science Foundation of China,the research team led by Professor Geng Yong (耿涌) at Shanghai Jiao Tong University,urged that circular economy should be promoted at the global level.The finding of this study was published in Nature (2019,565:153-155). The rapid economic development and increasing population have resulted in soaring demand on natural resources and more environmental emissions.However,the current production and consumption model is still linear and only 6％ of materials are recycled at the global level.Consequently,it is critical for the whole world to promote circular economy so that the overall resource efficiency can be improved.
