When we got divorced, I left all my things behind.: How the lifespan of household goods is linked to the biographical trajectory of their owners

Julie Madon

Summary: This study reveals the reasons why individuals tend to keep their objects for a long time by analyzing their life trajectories. Factors such as familial environment, personal life cycle, and interactions with objects can influence their propensity to make objects last. Additionally, certain exceptional events may have a one-time impact on an individual's relationship with object lifespan.

The rebound effect of circular economy: Definitions, mechanisms and a research agenda

Camila Goncalves Castro et al.

Summary: This paper aims to evolve the concept and mechanisms of circular rebound effects by means of a systematic literature review. It proposes a conceptual framework that brings together the main characteristics and mechanisms of a rebound effect in the context of circular economy. The paper discusses the lessons learned from research on the circular rebound effect, provides avenues for future research, and highlights the importance of integrating rebound effect concepts into circular economy practice for a successful transition.

Circular products and business models and environmental impact reductions: Current knowledge and knowledge gaps

Patricia van Loon et al.

Summary: The circular economy is seen as a solution to boost economic growth and reduce environmental impact, but there is inconclusive evidence on the actual environmental effects of circular outcomes. Most environmental assessments on circular products focus on comparing traditional products with remanufactured ones, neglecting design strategies and alternative business models.

Is life cycle assessment enough to address unintended side effects from Circular Economy initiatives?

Monia Niero et al.

Summary: Implementing Circular Economy (CE) initiatives may have unintended side effects, and addressing how to make them knowable and actionable is crucial. By combining other analytical approaches such as Practice Theory (PT) and Actor-Network Theory (ANT) with Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), we can improve our understanding of the unintended side effects and investigate more realistic scenarios.

Circularity for circularity's sake? Scoping review of assessment methods for environmental performance in the circular economy.

Steve Harris et al.

Summary: The concept of Circular Economy is gaining global attention, with a focus on scientific evidence-based implementation to improve environmental performance. Current research primarily focuses on the micro-level, lacking connections between micro and macro levels. Industrial symbiosis shows potential at the meso-level, but further research is needed to assess its environmental contribution.

The limits of the loops: critical environmental politics and the Circular Economy

Kersty Hobson

Summary: Circular Economy (CE) is a key governance framework aiming to change how value is extracted from resources. However, current commentary tends to be descriptive or celebratory, and environmental politics researchers can contribute significantly to CE research. Examples of CE policies and practices may speed up resource utilization, and a key issue is how proponents frame individuals as 'user-consumers' without considering the broader implications of the CE project.
