Abstract

Collaboration is vital for the transition to a circular economy. However, existing ecosystem design approaches lack essential elements required for circularity. Our four-stage Circular Ecosystem Development Framework addresses these gaps, exemplified by the plastic packaging sector. It fosters sustainable, collaborative, and transformative circular ecosystems across diverse industries, incorporating governance and user-level transformation.
