Given the evidence that we are facing a triple planetary crisis and the scenarios projected if the current production and consumption model is maintained, the transition to a circular economic model presents itself as an alternative to pursue sustainability. Considering that some countries have already adopted initiatives to promote this change, the author sought to map out the political-normative scenario in Brazil. The research sought current normative acts and bills of laws that refer to circular economy, industrial ecology or industrial symbiosis. No results were found for industrial ecology and industrial symbiosis. Out of the six results of current norms that relate to the term circular economy, two decrees that mention it as a guideline for research and for public administration acts, respectively, were selected. The current environmental policies that protect common goods were analyzed, and it was found that their principles and objectives are aligned with the precepts of the circular economy and that their instruments can be allies in this transition. The research of bills pending in the Chamber of Deputies and the Federal Senate had 19 results, and 14 were selected for review. The propositions were divided by themes and possible redundancies, complementarities, contradictions and existing gaps were evaluated. Bill 1874/2022, which institutes a National Circular Economy Policy, and is currently pending in the Federal Senate, was selected as a reference as it presented a proposal for a more robust regulation on the subject. Based on the bibliography, policies and bills analyzed, the author prepared a recommendation of improvements for this bill, aiming to encompass concepts, objectives, principles and instruments considered relevant to support the transition to a circular economy in Brazil.
