The Circular Economy: Business Models for a Regenerative Future
摘要
The circular economy (CE) has emerged as a transformative paradigm for reshaping global production and consumption patterns toward regenerative, restorative systems. By integrating closed‑loop production, waste‑to‑resource strategies, and innovative value propositions such as product‑as‑a‑service, circular business models decouple economic growth from resource depletion. This article provides a comprehensive analysis of circular business models across multiple industries since 2010, synthesizing peer‑reviewed literature, industry reports, and case studies. We explore theoretical underpinnings, implementation pathways, facilitators and obstacles, culminating in actionable recommendations for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners aiming to foster sustainable, resilient economies.
