Abstrakt: Literature so far illustrates different approaches to achieving circular economy (CE). It is increasingly important that every industry explores opportunities to transitioning towards CE doing it through process streamlining or via uses of technology to transform/exchange the resources. We recognize the difficulties faced by researchers in consolidating key aspects to CE, due to still fragmented knowledge base. To clearly identify these aspects is somewhat difficult due to the fragmented knowledge over applications of circular economy. However, any holistic approach is possible by considering the performance of the growth (in our temporal visible world) and that of innovation and creation as a result of the introspection of the temporal invisible world (thought and inspiration), in terms of three fundamental scalars in nature, mass, energy, and time transformed by natural action and human action, in order to define the circularity for any group, category, and type of product. We consider that the effect of any action should be evaluated by determining the most probable results and the dynamic of any process (using statistics), by considering the transformation of the three fundamental scalars. This article presents a consonant approach of the economy, aiming to optimize the intervention of humans in the natural environment and its performance and having the scope of the integration of the human actions in the natural cycles, to secure sustainability.
