RESOURCE-EFFICIENT ECONOMY Małgorzata Burchard-Dziubińska, PhD – University of Lodz, Poland Correspondence address: Faculty of Economics and Sociology Rewolucji 1905 r. 41, 90–214 Lodz, Poland e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: In the article, cradle to cradle approach, as the desired direction of changes in the manage- ment of resources in production processes, is discussed. The study based on the analysis of literature, action programs, and case studies. Attention has been focused on the development of cradle to cradle approach around the world. The research aimed to raise awareness of the importance of resource management so that waste generation would be eliminated from the manufacturing processes. Resi- dues of consumption and production should be re-integrated into biological or technological circula- tion. Cradle to cradle approach means a revolutionary change in the approach to the organization of following processes: products and services design, production and distribution. It also extends the scope of responsibility of manufacturers and users, but at the same time gives a chance to reduce the negative impact on the environment and to create new job opportunities.

Initially, it had only a practical dimension. The industrial revolution seemed as a way to solve the problem of resource scarcity. It appeared that the man has gained a new, almost unlimited possi- bilities to reach resources previously unavailable or even unknown. Today with greater humility we look at these possibilities. This happened not because of the actual lack of access to resources, but rather because of the environmental and social (including health) consequences of wasteful exploitation and the growing cost of acquiring them. Growing demand on natural resources is caused by increasing human population and aspiration of billions of people in less developed countries to reach a higher level of consumption, recently typical for rich part of western societies. Now it has access to resources for all. In the paper, the cradle to cradle approach is dis- cussedbecome as the a solutionsubject ofproper scientific for the inquiry development how to ensure of a modern sustainable circular and econ fair- omy, which enabled sustainable
