Circular economy is the mode of economic growth which answers for the principle of sustainable development. Its characteristic is low-mining, low-exhaust, high-using, which takes "5R" (Rethink, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Repair) as a principle. Against the backdrop of lacking resources and environmental deterioration, circular economy is conceived as a effective approach for sustainable development.Corporations are implementary subjects of circular economy. Inorder to embark corporations on circular economy, we must staunchly choose legal system. Legal rules and regulations of corporations in context of circular economy are very essential. It is an important way that we can make the supernormal of resources and energy, step up improving of the ecological environment in the mass, create new economic growth orders, scoop out the development dividend. Its value incarnates in the exaltation of economy, ecosystem and the society "3D efficiency", sustained development of social welfare at last. It is based on the theory of Spaceship Economy, sustainable development and Closing Materials Cycle. Legal rules and regulations of corporations in context of circular economy must stand by these principles, including multiple purpose, valid of theory construction and throughout every stage. And its basic humanity hypothesis is the theory of complex economical man. Only through utilization of stimulating, directional and authoritative legal means, we can make circular economy as corporations' organic part of their operation.Through inspection of circular economic legislation in German, Japan, American, EU, Korea and so on, we can find out that legal rules and regulations of corporations in context of circular economy in these countries intently express a series of regulations' drawing up. For example: Special Supervision System, Extended Producer Responsibility, Priority Improvement, Industry Turns of Waste Treatment, Government Support ,etc. Behind them, circular economic laws in German are very substantial, and give legal guarantee for the development of circular economy; circular economic laws in Japan make achievements, and provide useful experience and lessons for many other countries. For the time being, our country has no comprehensive circular economy law, even The Clean Production Propel Law just concentrates on industry field, like a declaration much more and is lack of implement. All together, the questions faced by our country are very complicated, we have no precedent to follow. We must learn from developed countries' experience, probe a new way with Chinese characteristics. The paper intends to make up and make perfect six law systems throughout corporations' productive process in accordance with the theory of MFM:economize resources exploitation and energy use, circular economic production study and market tapping, cleaner production, green pack of products, reuse resources retrieval, wastes management and green modern logistics. At last, corporations will realize the process of "green products—reuse resources—green products", and make the sustainable development come true.
