There's a gap between theory and practice, risking superficial solutions. We will explore how clear definitions, realistic assessments, multidisciplinary approaches, and comprehensive policy frameworks can overcome these challenges and ensure substantial sustainability outcomes. Lead discussants: Frank Figge, Kris Hartley Moderator: Anja Grüll Informed by: Julian Kirchherr ◽ In section 2, we explore circular business models (CBMs) and sustainability strategy from an organizational perspective. Purely closed-loop models must consider economic and energy factors, with full cost accounting to assess financial implications. We will discuss CBM implementation, define main types, support for circular startups, and how firms can innovate using collaboration, lifecycle thinking, and impact measurement for effective circular economy integration. Lead discussant: Tomás Santa María Moderator: Simona Grande Informed by: Rodrigo Lozano, Martin Geissdoerfer ◽ In section 3, we address circular supply chains and circular ecosystems from an inter-organizational perspective. We will explore advantages and challenges of the ecosystem approach, future trends, theoretical lenses for studying CE, strategies for mainstream journal inclusion, and the role of technology like digital platforms and IoT in creating and managing circular ecosystems. Lead discussants: Paavo Ritala, Wisdom Kanda, PhD Moderator: Francesco Antonio Perotti Informed by: Jury Gualandris ◽ In section 4, we move to key research methods including systems thinking for mapping and modeling, action research for practical approaches, and a multi-capital perspective for holistic evaluation. These methods aim to provide practical insights and comprehensive assessments of CE initiatives.
