The circular economic framework facilitates the reuse of wastes. Wastes were earlier disposed untreated, which not only paves the way for environmental pollution, but also promotes the singular use of products. The ‘take-make-waste-dispose’ approach, associated with the linear economic framework gives way to unidirectional use of products. As an alternative to such a wasteful system, circular economic framework is taken cognisance of. The circularity in the use of products turns down the singleton use of products. Rather it extends the life cycles of products through the application of the techniques of ‘recycle and reuse’. Reusing of ‘once wastes’ through recycling to turn these into ‘wealth’ actually saves environment from pollution and creates values in the economic framework. The ‘waste-to-wealth’ approach throws weight behind the introduction of the circular economic framework. The present paper intends to re-look into the effectiveness of the circular economic framework in promoting ‘waste-to-wealth’ approach in order to make development process serve the purpose of sustainability. It also attempts to analyse how far the circular economic framework ensures responsibilities in the process of development so that it could be able to serve the sustainable and inclusive purposes of development.
