PublicationCircular ecosystems: A reviewThe idea of a circular economy has become increasingly popular among scholars, practitioners, and policy-makers. It promises to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and resource depletion for a more nature-friendly economy. Despite the increasingly widespread use of the term, the implementation of the circular economy is falling behind, as barriers persist. One promising avenue for future research stems from the potential of circular ecosystems and the systematic coordination among stakeholders to implement circularity. This review introduces the circular economy and ecosystems literature, analyzes the literature on the circular ecosystem concept, and contributes by suggesting a classification of circular ecosystems, and synthesizing main success factors in circular ecosystems literature. The classification and success factor analysis thereby decreases the current uncertainty around what a circular ecosystem is and what may make it successful.Type: journal articleJournal: Cleaner and Circular Bioeconomy (companion journal to Journal of Cleaner Production)Volume: 3

PublicationPrivate Firm Support for Circular Economy Regulation in the EU Policy ContextAs an empirical investigation of firm support for circular economy regulation in the European Union (EU) context, this paper is the first to connect the research field on corporate political activity with the growing research field on the circular economy. The paper presents these two research streams, draws on theories such as the resource-based view, and employs a hierarchical regression framework to formulate and test six hypotheses on what drives firms to support circular economy regulation. We find that smaller firms show more support for circular economy regulation than larger firms do and identify two moderating effects: the stock listing seems to moderate the relationship between firm size and a firm’s support for circular economy regulation; and a firm’s supply chain position has a counterintuitive negative moderating effect on the relationship between slack resources and a firm’s support for circular economy regulation. We discuss null findings and suggest avenues for future research at this under-researched intersection of policies and firms in the circular economy context.Type: journal articleJournal: SustainabilityVolume: 14

PublicationResearch papers on the circular economy : a holistic perspective with insights on business models, ecosystems, and policy-firm interactionsIn the current linear economy, most growth is based on exploiting limited resources, on carbon-intensive production and consumption. In the context of this take-make-dispose logic and increasing demand for often scarce materials, we produce massive amounts of waste that cannot always be reused to create additional value. This linear economic system has led us to cross planetary boundaries that are vital to our well-being on this planet. Hence, we must radically change how we create value to avoid negative environmental impacts. In addition to classic approaches like decarbonization techniques, the circular economy concept is a promising avenue for balancing economic growth with environmental sustainability by eliminating waste, emissions, and other toxic pollution while maintaining the value of the required materials through, for example, technical innovations and innovative business models. As firms are central to the transformation to such a circular economy, this thesis investigates their role by connecting management theory to the massive amount of literature on the circular economy. The thesis discusses how companies can think about circular business models in an integrated and holistic framework (Chapter 2) and, given that circular business models often require collaboration, it presents a thorough revision of the concept of circular ecosystems and how companies can master them (Chapter 3). To complete the analysis of firms role in the circular economy, the thesis investigates what factors drive firm support for circular economy regulation and under which conditions firms are likely to favor or oppose circular economy regulation (Chapter 4). All three papers of this thesis have been published in peer-reviewed journals.Type: doctoral thesis
