Аннотация: This paper is an attempt to explain the geometric metaphor, circular economy, and of its range of application. For that, reuse and recycle loops are analyzed in two situations: discrete and continuous systems, both looking for material decay along cycles or time (due to purge) and for the time evolution of its unit price (time value of money and inflation). The case of existing a make-up that compensates the purge is also analyzed. The conclusion is that the geometric metaphor in use, circular economy, corresponds to particular situations. In general, the evolution is spiral rather than circular.
Ключевые слова: circular economy, reuse, recycle, mass conservation
