Overhauling Orgreave
Once the site of a mining community and historic conflict during the 1984 miners’ strike, Orgreave has undergone a complex transition and regenerated into a modern advanced manufacturing district. This study examines how community stakeholders narrate and contest the ‘success’ of Orgreave’s post-coal regeneration, and what this reveals about justice in transition initiatives. Through applying a just transition conceptual lens to qualitative inter…
The Role of Supply Chain Capabilities in Linking Circular Economy Practices and Supply Chain Resilience
This study examines how circular economy ( CE ) practices relate to supply chain resilience (SCRES), focusing on the capability‐based mechanisms through which CE strategies may influence resilience outcomes. Drawing on survey data from 125 Italian firms engaged in CE initiatives, we employ partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS‐SEM) to test the proposed relationships and complement this analysis with fuzzy‐set qualitative compar…

The Circular Economy and Smart Specialisation Strategies nexus
The integration of Circular Economy (CE) principles into Smart Specialisation Strategies (S3) has gained increasing attention as a pathway to sustainable regional development. This paper explores the relational dynamics and territorial anchoring of the CE-S3 nexus, focusing on the integration and alignment of these policy frameworks. Using a comparative cross-case analysis of different EU regions, the study examines how regions leverage S3 to imp…
Towards radical circular economy futures
Revisiting circular economy rebound
The circular economy has gained momentum as a sustainability paradigm that aims to decouple economic growth from environmental degradation by promoting resource efficiency and waste minimization. However, mounting evidence points to a critical challenge: circular economy rebound (CER). This phenomenon occurs when efficiency improvements intended to reduce resource use provoke systemic, market, or behavioral responses that diminish or even reverse…
Macroeconomic models for assessing the transition towards a circular economy
Grassroots initiatives for a bottom-up transition to a circular economy
The role of grassroots community initiatives remains an underexplored element in the circular economy (CE) literature. Ignoring social considerations and placing focus on economic and nominally environmental goals detracts from alternative approaches to CE transition. We present an empirical case study of a community repair initiative within a deprived community, as an example of a bottom-up grassroots initiative, and an opportunity to shed light…
Consensus and contestation
Planning for a future free from rebound effects
This paper argues that attempts to mitigate rebound effects within growth-orientated economic systems are self-defeating. This arises because rebound effects contribute to economic expansion and individual 'welfare' improvements (i.e., they are welcome and even desirable) and they flourish in traditional market systems where resource allocation is conducted in an ex-post fashion. As such, in the context of the transition towards more sustainable …
Better or different? A reflection on the suitability of indicator methods for a just transition to a circular economy
Indicator-based methods have long been used as assessment tools in relation to measuring and purportedly enabling sustainable transitions. Common limitations of indicator approaches are well documented in the literature, and include both technical issues related to data availability and the handling of complexity, and epistemological challenges such as the nature of trade-offs and risks associated with reductionism. Nevertheless, such methods rem…
What theories of value (could) underpin our circular futures
The transition to a circular economy is often presented as a straightforward, neutral and apolitical process, characterised by an implicit techno-optimistic and eco-modernist stance. However, in their recent paper on 'circular futures', Bauwens et al. (2020) illustrate that the circular economy is best understood as an umbrella term that might come to define very contrasting visions of sustainable development. Despite this, there continues to be …

Politicising Circular Economy
The ‘Circular Economy’ has become a new buzzword in debates about sustainability. Circularity, however, is usually presented in terms of scientific and technological challenges that often neglect the socio-political aspects related to the transition towards more sustainable futures, such as participation, co-creation and social justice. We argue that the Circular Economy agenda might greatly benefit from the field of Responsible Innovation. This …
The Circular Economy at a Crossroads
In the last decade, the concept of “Circular Economy” (CE) has gained prominence in the political and corporate discourse around the world. According to its proponents, CE represents a new paradigm that will push the frontiers of environmental sustainability by transforming the relationships between ecological systems and economic activities. In this paper we discuss how this idea is problematic for a number of reasons, claiming that the biggest …

A Critical Analysis of Current Indexes for Digital Divide Measurement
Several composite indexes grouping several variables into a single figure have been proposed for measuring the digital divide. In this article, the authors analyze shortcomings of extant indexes. Using multivariate analysis tools, they show that in the definition of composite indexes it is possible to individuate a limited set of more influencing and significant variables. This finding suggests the possibility of replacing some redundant variable…
