“…On the other side, ref. [58] found that corporate environmental responsibility (CER) is positively related to the readiness for moving towards a circular business model. Perceived CE drivers act as mediators, while perceived CE barriers moderate the relationship between CER and readiness for change-acting, reducing the positive effect.…”

“…Ref. [58] found that corporate environmental responsibility (CER) positively influences the readiness for change in organizations. Parallelly with the activities on the supply side and aimed at increasing the level of companies' readiness for implementing new business model based on CE, different activities should be realized on the demand side in terms of deploying the environmental consciousness of citizens and consumers through the programs of environmental education and similar activities of public authorities and decision-makers, as was emphasized in the research of [66].…”

Researchers highlighted the gap between the circular economy (CE) theory and real manufacturing practices. In developing countries, the background for CE development is quite different from developed countries, where there is an established waste management structure and a robust environmental policy. In addition, a shortage of best practices, guidelines, learning experiences, frameworks, and models capable of guiding manufacturers in measuring their circular level and track a roadmap towards an improvement of their circular readiness is raised in the literature. Therefore, this research develops and proposes a framework for assessing company’s CE readiness and is tailored for companies operating in developing countries. In detail, the framework investigates the two main perspectives (product and business model) that companies should consider adopting and implementing CE in their operations and business. The framework also supports companies to track an improvement roadmap through the definition of future actions and KPIs. To develop the framework, an application case with a company placed in Serbia and operating in the packaging industry has been conducted. The application of the framework unveiled that there is room for improvement in developing countries to foster CE adoption, especially in the policy context. Indeed, policy incentives and instruments of public authorities would considerably support the circular transition process in companies.

“…La categoría ecoinnovación y tecnologías representa las formas inter y multidisciplinarias (Weigend et al, 2019) que fomentan la transición desde un sistema productivo agroalimentario lineal hacia los principios de la producción circular y de consumo sostenible (Muscio & Sisto, 2020) bajo el fundamento de procesos gerenciales, y el uso de recursos tecnológicos que incluyen cambios positivos tangibles al ambiente (Tarhini, 2022;Bîrgovan et al, 2022). Otros hallazgos presentan innovaciones organizativas y conocimientos derivados de modelos de negocios agroalimentarios (Lee et al, 2020), que se focalizan en la reducción de la pobreza y las mejoras de los procesos de las organizaciones (Cabrales et al, 2021) y su relación con los stakeholders.…”

Actualmente para las organizaciones, los principios de la economía circular juegan un papel determinante en la generación de beneficios económicos en equilibrio con el ambiente y con los stakeholders involucrados en sus procesos productivos. En la economía circular el uso efectivo de los recursos y de tecnologías representan factores clave para alcanzar un desarrollo sustentable de los sistemas de producción agroalimentario. El objetivo de esta investigación se focalizó en describir los factores y fundamentos claves de la economía circular que interactúan con el sistema de producción agroalimentario desde el análisis de la ecoinnovación, tecnologías, y la sostenibilidad. La metodología se alineó a un protocolo para presentar revisiones sistémicas de literatura con nivel descriptivo, según la estructura Prisma, y el apoyo del software ATLAS.ti ® 22. Los resultados destacan eventos sostenibles de la economía circular en el sistema agroalimentario y sus beneficios en torno a las tecnologías disruptivas para la reducción, reutilización y reciclaje, sustentado en un modelo de ecoinnovación ecológica-productiva. Se concluye que la economía circular proporciona soporte al sistema de producción agroalimentario apoyándose en la ecoinnovación y la gestión gerencial integral, lo cual permite optimizar los resultados del impacto ecológico y el nivel de producción agroalimentaria dentro de los estándares de inocuidad alimentaria.

“…Despite these efforts, there is no one-size-fits-all circular economy model at this time. Different players have different views of what CE can or should describe [35], and the connection to sustainability is not always obvious [8]. Despite the CE definition's ambiguous constraints, particular procedures are required to track the CE's progress.…”

As the world continues to urbanize, it is necessary to identify and implement new urban development models and strategies in order to meet the challenges of sustainable development. As cities continue to face challenges in becoming fully circular, the need to establish a framework to measure the circular economy in urban areas grows. Many definitions for circular cities have been developed and addressed in recent years, as have numerous indicators. To make the transition to a circular city, we must integrate the findings and develop a general definition and measurement framework. This article aims at outlining a framework for circular cities indicators based on their key characteristics, as well providing directions for fostering circularity at the city level. To accomplish this goal, we conducted a systematic review and analyzed key papers published in the field of circular economy to determine how circular cities are measured. Choosing the right indicators to use for developing, monitoring, and evaluating circular cities is a difficult task for urban policymakers, managers, and planners. This highlights the significance of standardized frameworks for urban indicators. As a result, the authors propose a framework and highlight some key points about circular cities and smart urban metabolism.
