Abstract

Sustainable business innovations aim to tackle global challenges including environmental and social issues. Establishing business ecosystem based on sustainability-oriented innovations include dealing with a system level change and impacts. In this article we present a single case of an ecosystem looking to solve a global challenge of plastic debris. The ecosystem is looking into establish operations in target markets with a two-phase entry model, both representing a different ecosystem phase. Potential market areas represent areas with no current waste management infrastructure established. We use causal-loop diagrams to visualise the concepts of these ecosystem phases and aim to identify major characteristics affecting the expansion of these ecosystems. The sustainability-oriented innovation may attract funding opportunities to support initial ecosystem phase and help to gather resources for expansion.
