Discussions about the circular economy have taken place in parallel with, but largely independently of, discussions about degrowth. The present paper brings into dialogue the two fields by contemplating what circularity in business could entail in the context of transformations towards degrowth societies. To this end, the paper relates to a recent, holistic reconceptualisation which views degrowth transformations in terms of both less and more on four planes of social being: material transactions with nature, social interactions between people, social structures and people's inner being. These planes signify depth of social being. The paper looks at business through the lens of this reconceptualisation before zooming in on circularity as an important manifestation of a sustainability practice in business. We argue that, in the context of degrowth, implementation of circularity as a principle and a practice should be deep. Relating circularity to each plane of social being, we focus particularly on the plane of people's inner being, the reason being that our mode of relating with the world would need to be significantly different to what it currently is, if deep circularity practices are to become more widespread.

关于循环经济的讨论与关于去增长的讨论同时进行，但在很大程度上独立于这些讨论。本文通过思考在向去增长社会转型的背景下商业循环可能带来什么，将这两个领域引入对话。为此，本文涉及最近的整体重新概念化，即在社会存在的四个层面上从更少和更多的角度来看待去生长转变：与自然的物质交易、人与人之间的社会互动、社会结构和人的内在存在。这些平面表示社会存在的深度。在将循环性作为商业可持续发展实践的重要体现之前，本文通过这种重新概念化的视角来审视商业。我们认为，在去增长的背景下，循环作为原则和实践的实施应该深入。将循环与社会存在的每个层面联系起来，我们特别关注人们内心的层面，原因是如果深度循环实践要成为现实，我们与世界的联系方式需要与目前的方式有很大不同更广泛。
