Why is it important?
Isolated technological solutions or market-based initiatives alone cannot deliver a circular economy. This research demonstrates that circularity is an ecosystem-level challenge requiring coordinated action among businesses, public institutions, and citizens. It highlights the role of digitalization and targeted public policies in lowering transition costs, fostering social inclusion, and driving long-term economic value
Perspectives
Driving the ecological transition requires integrating green entrepreneurship with public policies and digital tools, turning waste from a burden into a valuable resource for communities
