Abstract

In France, circular economy in its current meaning was adopted and then shaped by national institutions as a substitute to the scientific term of industrial ecology. This chapter is describing the process which led to this situation and analyzing it through the theory of the economy of conventions. Is firstly presented the way industrial ecology emerged in France during the 2000s. We will then explain how French institutions adopted the circular economy concept, and in doing so modified the meaning of industrial ecology substantially. This leads to lose the green references originally included in the industrial ecology and substitute them with industrial references and a main objective of optimization of the existing system, without questioning its principles and references.
