Abstract
Recently the concept of the Circular Economy (CE) has
attracted growing interest as a novel economic model
aiming to foster sustainable economic growth, boost
global competitiveness, and generate new jobs. A
system-wide disruptive innovation shaping new ecosystems
and changing the whole process of value creation is
needed to tackle the current challenges and
transformation to the CE. This paper asks how disruptive
business model innovations work as a change mechanism for
the CE. The paper develops a conceptual framework for
shaping the industrial systems towards CE ecosystems and
proposes how value circles and co-creation of value with
a variety of partners are crucial aspects in enabling CE.
The paper highlights that the concept of value circles
would be beneficial in clarifying the difference to
linear value chain models and the co-existence of several
overlapping value circles.
