“…The reviewed literature shows that lack of trust and compatibility between partners in the supply chain can also hinder companies from switching to CBMs (Cantú et al, 2021; Guldmann & Huulgaard, 2020; Salvador et al, 2020; Zucchella & Previtali, 2019). Most of the literature in the Culture category considers change in attitudes and behavior, particularly of customers (Planing, 2015; Vermunt et al, 2019; Cantú et al, 2021; Hankammer et al, 2019), but also of employees and managers (Rizos et al, 2016), as a driving force for adoption of CBMs. This insinuates that education can play a key role in strengthening public awareness of the potential of circular solutions, which can in turn lead to an increase of CBM adoption.…”

Although the circular economy is considered an avenue to sustainable development, the transition toward circularity is moving slowly. Academic literature has examined how various factors can affect the adoption of circular business models in specific industries and organizational types. However, no research has systematically reviewed the determinants of circular business model adoption. Through a systematic literature review, this study provides a holistic overview of the determining drivers of and barriers to the adoption of circular business models. Building on a sample of 67 journal articles, this study identifies 54 different determinants and classifies them into eight macro categories: culture, regulation, market, strategy, business case, collaboration, operations, and knowledge. The findings can guide policy‐makers, researchers, and decision makers across industries in understanding what obstacles to avoid and drivers to employ when they wish to increase circular business model adoption.

“…On the contrary, generic start-ups are profit focused, aiming to generate maximum revenue and achieve commercial scaling (Picken, 2017;Wallin et al, 2016). However, both CSUs and start-ups face highly uncertain business environments and possess high innovation potential (Camacho-Otero et al, 2018;Chen et al, 2009;Planing, 2015). Both possess high resource flexibility (Gilbert et al, 2006;Henry et al, 2020), ability to be agile and adapt to changing business environments (Bauwens et al, 2020;Oliva & Kotabe, 2019).…”

The concept of circular economy (CE) has emerged as a viable way to achieving sustainable development. Small businesses and start‐ups play a significant role in economic progress, but they also contribute substantially to environmental degradation. In this inductive qualitative study, we conducted multiple interviews with 18 founders of circular start‐ups (CSUs) in Australia to explore and understand the challenges they encountered at different stages of their development and growth. Employing grounded theory, this study unveils barriers associated with distinct phases of the CSU development and growth, categorizing them into antecedent, beginner and growth barriers. The empirical analysis paints a detailed picture of both unique and common obstacles related to the distinctive and novel positioning of CSUs in promoting CE. This research also serves as a valuable foundation for aspiring CE entrepreneurs, practitioners, scholars and policymakers.

The implementation of Circular Business Models (CBMs) represents a key step for a successful transformation of the global economy towards circularity. The establishment of CBMs is therefore actively promoted and demanded by the European Commission according to the EU Circular Economy Action Plan 2020. To support their implementation, one of the basic building blocks is the application of innovative technologies that enable the analysis and control of material flows deriving the necessity of object identification and corresponding automatic identification (Auto-ID) technologies. The verification of this statement is the research object of the study presented. Based on the results of two systematic literature reviews, the overall relevance of object identification in CBMs is confirmed. Additionally, the application potentials of certain Auto-ID technologies are proposed.
