practical perspectives. Developing and maintaining a circular economy is an essential step to a
more environmentally friendly and socially inclusive society. In addition to redesigning
products and business models to minimise waste and increase the reuse of materials a
transition towards a sustainable circular economy requires collaboration and co-operation

literature and laying out guidance for future study. The collection is of interest to academics
and students of sustainability management and sustainable business models stakeholder theory
