The defect of the traditional economic mode and the demands of the sustainable development eventually put forward the circular economy whose theoretical foundation is industrial ecology. The circular economy is an economic activity guided by the laws of industrial ecology, which is a new eco-friendly pattern based on the material- and energy-recycles. The circular economy is a kind of eco-economy essentially, which demands to follow the ecological law, utilize the natural resources and environmental capacities properly and develop the economy on the basis of the material recycle in order to realize the ecological trend of the economic activities by bringing the economic system harmoniously into the material recycling process of the natural ecosystem. It is the main idea of the circular economy to develop the sustainable social economy and avoid any harm to the ecological balance and the abuse of the resources by the technological and economic activities, thus realize the truly sustainable and healthy developments of the human's society. The circular economy contains the profound eco- philosophical connotations including the point of ecosystem, the ecological values, the ecological ethics, the point of sustainable development and ecological civilization. The eco- philosophy provides much effective theoretical support for the circular economy.Eco- technology is a general term of the processes and products following the ecological principles and ecological economic law, economizing the resources and energy, avoiding, eliminating or decreasing pollution and damage to the eco- environments, which is "eco-friendly" with minimum ecological negative effects or "little public nuisance". The ecological point of technology is developed with the harmony between man and nature as its ultimate goal, which utilizes, develops and protects the resources scientifically and standardizes the technological activities. The eco-technological point of circular economy is the one which emphasize the application of eco- technology to the circular economic processes. It introduces the eco- technology instead of the traditional one to increase the efficiency of resource utilization, reduce the resource and energy consumption in production processes, extend and broaden the technology chain of production, control the pollution as...
