ABSTRACT Circular economy (CE) is increasingly adopted by the manufacturing industry to decouple economic growth from environmental impacts by optimizing resource use and minimizing waste generation. Nevertheless, circular manufacturing often triggers systemic responses that diminish or offset their potential environmental gains, resulting in the so ...

Navigating the Double Edge of Product‐Service Systems: User Behavior, Adoption, and Rebound Effects
ABSTRACT Product‐service systems (PSS) have been considered a promising approach to operationalizing the circular economy. Although many studies have outlined the potential sustainability gains of PSS solutions, it is still unclear what factors drive PSS adoption and how behavioral changes result in rebound effects, undermining their potential ...

ABSTRACT Industrial clusters are central to the circular economy transition, yet how they develop into eco‐clusters and the paradoxical tensions this transformation fuels remain underexplored. Drawing on 48 in‐depth interviews and secondary data from a Turkish textile‐recycling cluster, we develop an empirically grounded model of eco‐cluster transition

Circling the Archetype: Tensions Limiting the Transformation to a Circular Economy
ABSTRACT This research examines key tensions and the archetypal paradox that prevent the transformation to a circular economy (CE) across individual, organizational, and systems levels, problematizing CE assumptions. Tension manifestations are analyzed using a qualitative case study across eight diverse industries and geographies.

From Confusion to Clarity: A Multi‐Stage Process Framework for Understanding Consumer Confusion
ABSTRACT This paper reconceptualizes consumer confusion as a multi‐stage temporal process rather than a static outcome, addressing theoretical fragmentation in existing antecedent‐consequence models. By integrating cognitive appraisal, contextual amplification, and adaptive coping within a unified framework, we explain how confusion unfolds rather than

Defossilisation of the Energy Supply of a Chemical Site by Integration of a Carnot Battery
This study presents the results of a techno‐economic analysis of CO2‐free energy supply concepts for electricity and heat for the defossilisation of a chemical park in Germany for the model years 2030 and 2045. The focus is on the integration of a Carnot battery with thermal energy storage, which enables the flexible use of green fuels and renewable ...
