This is a conceptual paper, which blends theory and hard facts to achieve its aims.

This paper presents a framework which uses multiple levels of analysis to explain how organisations can prepare for and implement circular economy practices.

This paper makes relevant contributions for both academics and practitioners by providing essential practical guidance on the “what”, “how” and “why” of the circular economy, which can help managers to plan and implement a convincing business case for this sustainable approach.
