Based on what I dug into regarding the concept, a closed-loop economy focuses on three principles:

  1. Eliminate waste and pollution
  2. Circulate products and materials
  3. Regenerate nature

This being the case, I don't see exactly how taxes come into play in any detracting way. Plus it's pretty lightweight with financial requirements too. It's more of a modern day more aggressive recycling game plan for a community.
