“…Innovation ecosystems also support a diagnosis of the strengths and shortcomings of an ecosystem in light of its professed purposes (as illustrated in Nogueira et al, 2022). Innovation ecosystems are about value creation (Gomes et al, 2018).…”

“…With an extensive coast of cultural and economic significance, marine litter presents one of the key waste concerns in Norway. Discarded fishing gear has long been a challenge for both the waste companies and the seafood industry, due to the lack of sufficient and environmentally friendly solutions for their recycling and disposal (Nogueira et al, 2022). Nofir is a company that implements a recycling scheme for discarded gear from fisheries and aquaculture.…”

This article explores the emergence of waste valorization innovations to investigate how they interact with incumbent waste management systems and what roles markets play in the process. We build upon innovation ecosystems as an analytical framework and investigate empirically three cases distributed across the waste hierarchy pyramid: (i) upcycling of discarded fishing gear; (ii) reusing constructions and recovering demolition waste; and (iii) establishing a biomass-based district heating facility. Our cases indicate that waste valorization initiatives are deeply entangled in incumbent waste management systems and that markets alone appear to be insufficient to drive innovations in waste valorization. Our analysis also points to a relationship between the position of waste innovation in the waste hierarchy and the presence and effectiveness of markets. Markets function better when resources already have some economic value, which is what waste valorization processes seek to obtain. When the environmental value is higher than the economic value, other mechanisms are needed to enable innovations, markets, and sustainability transitions. Support from the public sector in various capacities, from international regulation to demand shaping, seems to be essential for circular economy transitions.Understanding issues such as how waste innovations reach the market and how markets for waste resources function is imperative for circular economy transitions.

“…In contrast, Nogueira et al. (2022) analyze the feasibility of implementing take‐back schemes for fishing gears, comparable to that of beverage containers. A third study by Szostek and colleagues (2022) presents a quantitative method to determine how effective different fishing management scenarios (e.g., gear modification or substitution, fishing effort…) are in terms of mitigating the ecological effects linked to the seabed‐penetrating fishing gear.…”

“…In this context, they present an analytic framework to describe fishing gear use in the context of the environmental impacts linked to fishing activities in order to further understand how industrial fishing can impact the oceans through gear use and loss.

Human interaction with ocean resources has historically been challenging due to the difficulties that arise when a terrestrial species aims at becoming successful in a marine environment. Shipwrecks, for instance, have doomed coastal communities for centuries, and even today fishing is one of the deadliest sectors in the labor force. Similarly, human-induced marine environmental catastrophes, such as oil spills for instance (Trevors & Saier, 2010), have commonly been laborious to clean up due to the inherent difficulty of humans performing beyond terrestrial ecosystems.Continued human population and economic growth since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution have exacerbated the need of human societies for mineral ores, fossil fuels, and other sources of energy, water, and food. This has led to the occupation of vast areas of terrestrial land, to the extent that humans now have a noticeable footprint in all the world's terrestrial biomes. In the world's oceans this same pattern has occurred at a slower pace throughout the decades, with fishing activities becoming more efficient with the arrival of steam vessels in the 1880s, diesel in the 20th century (Engelhard, 2008), and the incorporation of sophisticated detection systems turning ancestral coastal fishing activities into highly industrialized systems that land millions of metric tons of fish and other marine species annually (Fornshell & Tesei, 2013). Similarly, oil rigs spread quickly in the world's ocean to provide additional fossil fuel supplies for thirsty growing economies (Nyman, 2015), marine fright soared with the process of globalization (Mersin et al., 2019) with thousands of cargo vessels swarming the seas and, more recently, seabed mining has appeared in the public and private agenda as an alternative and lucrative sector to maintain the supply of metal ores in the technosphere (Levin et al., 2020). This increased pressure of human activities on the ocean and its resources has translated into a series of environmental impacts that have affected marine conservation (Knowlton, 2021) and degraded vast areas of the ocean.
