Circular economy center: a concept for sustainable innovative constitutions
Circular economy requires new business models that per se involve multiple actors. However, examination of these constitutions in the scientific literature is by so far dispersed and there does not exist a comprehensive term for such constitutions. In the paper, “circular economy center” is suggested as a general concept for circular economy constitutions. It is an attempt to bring together the dispersed research fields and help to create founding for a comprehensive research field focused on circular economy constitutions. The concept highlights elements important for circular economy business including importance of an operator, business goals and significance of industrial symbiosis.
