• TITLE: Sustainable Public Policy Approaches to Overcome Planned Obsolescence: Models of Circular Economy Innovations

  AUTHORS: Cildo Giolo Júnior, José Sérgio Saraiva, Lislene Ledier Aylon

  KEYWORDS: Planned Obsolescence, Circular Economy, Sustainability Practices,

  JOURNAL NAME: Beijing Law Review, Vol.15 No.3, September 25, 2024

  ABSTRACT: Planned obsolescence reduces the lifespan of products, exacerbating environmental and social issues by promoting excessive consumption and waste accumulation. In contrast, the circular economy advocates for reuse, repair, and recycling practices. Through comparative analysis, this legal study examines how circular economy policies can alleviate this issue, analyzing existing measures and how different countries, including the European Union and Brazil, address it. The methodology combines literature review and successful case studies, enabling an understanding of the interaction between legislation and sustainability practices. It is expected to identify legislative gaps and formulate recommendations to promote the circular economy and discourage planned obsolescence. It is concluded that this study will enrich academic debate and influence public policies towards a more sustainable future.
