A review of entrepreneurship and circular economy research: State of the art and future directions

Nathalia Suchek et al.

Summary: The circular economy has emerged as a sustainable alternative to the linear system, and entrepreneurship plays a crucial role in capturing circular business opportunities. However, research on circular entrepreneurship is still in its early stages and scattered. This study aims to bring entrepreneurship into discussions on the circular economy through a systematic literature review. Based on 102 articles from the Scopus and Web of Science databases, four thematic groups were identified, with a focus on growing circular SMEs and a concentration of research in European countries. The study proposed a future research agenda and conceptual model for the entrepreneurial process in the circular economy.

Greg Peters et al.

Summary: This article presents a comprehensive evaluation of the impacts of fast fashion, finding that the climate impact of clothing and footwear consumption continues to increase, while the impact per garment has improved. Although social and environmental benefits per mass of garment appear to have decreased in recent times, much greater improvements in the absolute carbon footprint of the fashion industry are attainable by eliminating fossil-fueled electricity supplies and the fast fashion business model.

Circular economy-induced global employment shifts in apparel value chains: Job reduction in apparel production activities, job growth in reuse and recycling activities

Lars Repp et al.

Summary: There is a lack of evidence-based discussion on the global social impacts, both intended and unintended, of the European Union's transition towards the Circular Economy. This paper evaluates the global employment shifts induced by the Circular Economy, focusing on the apparel value chains imported to the EU from top exporting countries. The results suggest that the benefits and disadvantages of the circular transition appear to be unevenly distributed, with non-EU stakeholders bearing the main adverse effects.
