摘要: The main goal of this research is to evaluate the contributions Green Chemistry as a potential tool drive transition circularity. For this, we have carried out bibliographic study, analyzing those documents, process, or experiences that dealt jointly with aspects related circularity such circular economy, industrial ecology, and closed loop. Findings show few authors treated disciplines together in last 10 years. Based on an analysis academic literature, common strategies (design, raw materials, life cycle assessment, processes, normative, new business, collaboration), specific (catalyst, biobased products methods, recycling, reusing), difficulties overcome (metrics, transdisciplinary research, unawareness, competitiveness) been identified. Finally, different kind measures, behind joint metrics, informal open spaces, closer industry, education, standards label are proposed facilitate development Chemistry, loop ultimate improving sustainable development. From evidences found, finally conclude it possible use its principles circularity, being spaces for exchange information between actors from academia, governments regulatory actors, business sectors, aim promoting disruptive advances sustainability.
