Companies and their supply chains play a crucial role in this transition, being primary drivers of resource use and waste generation. Measuring CE implementation in companies and supply chains is therefore essential for promoting sustainable economic development and resource efficiency. This study presents a novel approach to assess the CE readiness of companies and supply chains through a Circular Economy Readiness Index (CERI) based on CE enablers and resource flows. The CERI considers several categories of enablers, reflecting a company's strategic vision towards circularity, and three categories of flows, which indicate a company's circularity performance. The index was applied to 265 companies in the construction sector and 263 companies in the textile/clothing/fashion sector in Colombia's Aburrá Valley region, allowing measurement at the company, supply chain actor, and industrial cluster levels. Results reveal a critical level of CE readiness in both clusters, indicating significant improvement opportunities. Better performance was observed for flows than for enablers, suggesting good resource management practices but a lack of strategic understanding and commitment to CE principles. The study identifies needs for implementing CE strategies across supply chain actors, emphasizing improvements in enablers such as awareness, training, investment in CE initiatives, and stakeholder collaboration. It underscores the necessity for a comprehensive approach to accelerate the transition towards circular supply chains, highlighting the importance of both strategic enablers and operational resource flows in implementing circular business models and practices.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34617,"journal":{"name":"Cleaner and Responsible Consumption","volume":"19 ","pages":"Article 100345"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145363381","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Their reduction efforts were largely influenced by regulatory frameworks and market dynamics, both as drivers and barriers. Further, we found that some farmers understand vegetable food losses as intrinsic to farming, positively picturing the use of losses as feed or compost as a circular use of resources. Some farmers identified food losses as an economic issue and described strategies they use to reduce losses, again covering different stages from production to processing and market (e.g. multiple sales channels and good cultivation practices).

Data were collected through an electronic self-administered survey and analysed using partial least squares structural equation modelling. The findings reveal that load shedding intolerance and environmental concerns drive awareness of green energy technologies and influence consumers' intentions to adopt these solutions.

Additionally, the high cost of green energy technologies emerged as a critical barrier. These insights underscore the importance of addressing cost-related barriers and tailoring policy interventions to enhance adoption rates.

Extending TAM by adding user satisfaction (US) as an additional element, we use the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to investigate how farmers' intention to use (IU) is influenced by perceived ease of use (PEOU), perceived usefulness (PU), user satisfaction (US), and attitude towards use (AT). The findings show that, especially for task-intensive agricultural activities, simplicity-driven platform designs raise PU and IU by reducing cognitive load. On the other hand, while gamification components significantly increase US and farmer involvement, their impact on perceived usability and general adoption is more constrained. User experience is therefore fundamental in influencing technology acceptance since we also found that US directly drives AT, which then raises IU. A multi-group study shows that various farmer profiles respond differently to simplicity and gamification, so stressing the need of implementation plans that fit user characteristics. This work provides legislators and platform developers with sensible ideas in general; it favors hybrid design concepts that maximize technology adoption by striking a balance between usability and participation.
