Summary: In recent decades, the currently predominant economic model - called the “brown economy” - has led to the depletion of natural resources and the widespread degradation and loss of ecosystems, which has given rise to an alternative economic model called the green economy and within it the circular economy. A closed-loop economy, which imitates those of nature in order to make it more efficient, rational and balanced, incorporating life-cycle analysis schemes for products and reusing waste. This work is part of a research project that analyses, among others, the environmental impacts of planned obsolescence and the green economy, carried out at the Department of Social Sciences of the National University of Luján. The objective of this paper is to analyze, firstly, if the circular economy is a reliable and plausible alternative to develop a new model to promote a highly sustainable and environmentally friendly culture, its pillars, the most outstanding business and government practices, in this respect, in the world and in Argentine, and, secondly, its reception in the different legislations and standarization. Due to the extension of the topic, it is presented in two parts and this article is the first part that develops the fundamental principles and pillars of the circular economy, analyzes the arguments of its defenders as well as its detractors and externalizes the most significant business practices in Argentine.
