Ecosystem initiation: A key policy challenge for circular economy transition
The circular economy (CE) is increasingly viewed as a key pathway to sustainable development, but its uptake remains behind expectations. We explore the concept of circular economy ecosystems to advance our understanding of the market sector conditions necessary for the adoption of circular economy practices by producers, consumers and other stakeholders within an ecosystem. Our methodology is a multiple case study with data collection through se…
A defense of the circular economy
The notion of circular economy (CE) has been trending among policymakers, businesses, and academia for over a decade. Sometimes poorly understood and often misrepresented as a one‐size‐fits‐all solution to environmental problems without economic trade‐offs, the concept has recently drawn considerable criticism. According to its critics, the CE (1) rebrands existing concepts without clarity, (2) makes unrealistic environmental promises, (3) oversi…
Circular ecosystems: Past, present, and future research directions
Circular ecosystems have become a buzz concept in the circular economy, but differing meanings and theoretical foundations limit knowledge consolidation. To address this gap, we undertook a systematic literature review of the circular ecosystems literature published from 2004 to 2025. We analyzed the state‐of‐the‐art using content analysis and science mapping techniques based on articles from Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar databases. …
From circular business models to circular business ecosystems
The circular economy aims to minimize resource inputs and waste and emission outputs of the economy and its organizational subsystems. This can benefit both financial and sustainability performance of companies. To analyze industrial implementation of the concept, the prevalent unit of analysis on the firm level is currently the circular business model. Our investigation of nine Swedish biogas companies and one branch organization indicates a ran…
Circular business models: A review
Facilitating industrial symbiosis programmes in developing countries: Reflections from Gauteng, South Africa
This viewpoint reflects on how to improve the process of introducing facilitated industrial symbiosis programmes (FISPs) to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in developing countries. Although FISPs are a long-established industrial practice, their formal introduction to SMEs in developing countries has only recently begun, mostly through support from international development agencies. Based partly on anecdotal evidence from Gauteng, South Afri…
Business models and supply chains for the circular economy
The Circular Economy is increasingly seen as a possible solution to address sustainable development. An economic system that minimises resource input into and waste, emission, and energy leakage out of the system is hoped to mitigate negative impacts without jeopardising growth and prosperity. This paper discusses the sustainability performance of the circular business models (CBM) and circular supply chains necessary to implement the concept on …
Sustainable business model innovation: A review
The capability to rapidly and successfully move into new business models is an important source of sustainable competitive advantage and a key leverage to improve the sustainability performance of organisations. However, research suggests that many business model innovations fail. Despite the importance of the topic, the reasons for failure are relatively unexplored, and there is no comprehensive review of the sustainable business model innovatio…
