>Abstract
>If global problems such as climate change and waste remain 
>unresolved, society can choose either to continue attempting to 
>incrementally reduce wastes and lessen impacts, or to consider a 
>more ambitious approach that paradoxically may be easier 
>to  implement. This paper suggests how an approach designed to 
>prevent waste and other global impacts could be based upon the 
>established practices of precycling, circular economic policy and 
>recycling insurance. A new economic instrument called 'precycling 
>insurance' is proposed, so that decision-making can be led by the 
>market rather than by prescriptive regulation or educational 
>campaigns. The approach gains relevance now that China is developing 
>a national 'Law on the Promotion of the Development of Circular Economy'.
