This ground-breaking handbook leads the way in accelerating the
transition to a sustainable circular economy by introducing the
concept of a catalyst as a positive and enhancing driving force for
sustainability. Catalysts create and maintain favourable conditions
for complex systemic sustainability transition changes, and a
discussion and understanding of catalysts is required to move from
a linear economy to a sustainable and circular economy. With
contributions from leading experts from around the globe, this
volume presents theoretical insights, contextualized case studies,
and participatory methodologies, which identify different
catalysts, including technology, innovation, business models,
management and organisation, regulation, sustainability policy,
product design, and culture. The authors then show how these
catalysts accelerate sustainability transitions. As a unique value
to the reader, the book brings together public policy and private
business perspectives to address the circular economy as a systemic
change. Its theoretical and practical perspectives are coupled with
real-world case studies from Finland, Italy, China, India, Nigeria,
and others, to provide tangible insights on catalysing the circular
economy across organizational, hierarchical, and disciplinary
boundaries. With its broad interdisciplinary and geographically
diverse scope, this handbook will be a valuable tool for
researchers, academics, and policymakers in the fields of circular
economy, sustainability transitions, environmental studies,
business, and the social sciences more broadly.
