“…Iung and Levrat (2014) describe and analyse the role of maintenance in the PSS offers as a way to guarantee service continuity towards circular economy paths. A similar observation was made by Johansson et al (2016) and Gnoni et al (2017) • Product design/material composition to be reused for high quality products, components and materials. The role of design has been widely acknowledged as DfX practices by many authors (Design for remanufacturing and reuse, Df recycling, Df environment) (De los Rios & Charnley, 2017;Moreno et al, 2016).…”

“…They outlined how institutions' regulatory and technological development, the take-back system for waste, additional costs for a recycler, and Responsible Recycling Standard, influence value proposition, creation, and capture. Gnoni et al (2017) included the following in the group of external determinants: provision of the economic sustainability for the producer, the introduction of tax incentives and awareness among users towards the topics of sustainability and CE. Jabbour et al (2017) highlighted the necessary integration of largescale data.…”

Circular Economy (CE) can be promoted and supported by the creation of new and innovative business models which embed CE principles into organisations’ value chains. This paper provides a review of approaches to the circular business model (CBM). We conducted a literature review, including content analysis, and examined publications (51 papers) on circular business models published in English in peerreviewed journals. Our objective was to provide an overview and systematize the stateof-the-art in CE-oriented business model approaches. The following research questions were posed in relation to the objective: Which sub-processes and components are included in the Circular Business Models (CBM)? Which CBM archetypes have already been established? Which strategies and other factors support the creation/ transformation of the CBM? The results of the studies were presented in five areas encompassing the following: 1) development (including the methodologies of development and transformation), value proposition, creation and delivery, 2) CBM archetypes, 3) circular strategies, 4) the determinants of development and transformation of business models for CE. The paper contributes to the improved understanding of circular business models. It consolidates related research by offering an overarching conceptual framework. It also points to the directions of future research.

“…Findings suggest that the social and environmental benefits of CE business models are relatively clear, but the economic elements including ownership, the cost to customer and producer, and the rebound effects of these models, need to be further explored (Gnoni et al 2017 would be beneficial. However, the main economic themes identified from this review relate to the opportunities that exist in the relationships remanufacturing has with businesses that are transitioning to more product-service models, and how they harness the benefits of newly available product data streams.…”

PurposeTo review the state-of-the-art in smart remanufacturing, highlighting key elements of an Industry 4.0 (I4.0) future that supports circular economy (CE) principles and offer a conceptual framework and research agenda to accelerate digitalisation in this sector.Design/methodology/approachThe Scopus, Web of Science and ScienceDirect databases and search terms “Industry 4.0”, “Internet of things”, “Smart manufacturing” and “Remanufacturing” were used to identify and select publications that had evidence of a relationship between those keywords. The 329 selected papers were reviewed with respect to the triple bottom line (economic, social and environmental). The study benefited from advanced text quantitative processing using NVivo software and a complete manual qualitative assessment.FindingsChanges in product ownership models will affect the remanufacturing industry, with the growth of product-service-systems seen as an opportunity to re-circulate resources and create value. This is being supported by changes in society, user expectations and workforce attributes. Key to the success of remanufacturing in an I4.0 future is the uptake of existing and emerging digital technologies to shorten and strengthen links between product manufacturers, users and remanufacturers.Originality/valueRemanufacturing is recognised as a key CE strategy, which in turn is an important research area for development in our society. This article is the first to study “smart remanufacturing” for the CE. Its uniqueness lies in its focus on the remanufacturing industry and the sustainable application of I4.0 enablers. The findings are used to create a framework that links to the research agenda needed to realise smart remanufacturing.

“…The definition highlights how the focus of the CE is an entire economic model and how there is a strong emphasis on the creation of a system that is regenerative by design. The business models within a circular economy include leasing based business models (Gnoni et al, 2017) or product-as-a-service business models (Fischer and Pascucci, 2017) and a complex set of supply chain management practices (Masi et al 2017). The present study brings to the field the notion that a RSC can contribute to the firm's competitive ability within the firm's existing business model and highlights the contextual conditions allowing this contribution.…”
