摘要

向循环经济过渡对于应对全球可持续性挑战至关重要;然而,在学术文献中,循环初创企业在这一过程中的作用仍未得到充分探讨,传统上关注的是老牌企业。本研究旨在通过调查循环初创企业的运作方式、商业模式、利益相关者的参与以及工业4.0技术的使用来解决这一差距。通过人工智能工具支持的系统文献综述,对28篇科学文章进行了选择和分析,该研究确定了循环初创企业的七个关键行动领域:循环创新、社会包容、知识传播、教育和宣传、合作伙伴关系、颠覆性领导和可持续发展促进。研究结果表明,尽管这些初创企业在利基(微观)层面上起到了变革的催化剂作用,但它们更广泛的影响取决于中观因素(利益相关者网络)和宏观条件(公共政策)。数字技术的采用以及与大学、政府和投资者等参与者的合作对其可扩展性至关重要。该研究得出的结论是,尽管循环初创企业显示出很高的创新潜力,但其推动系统性转型的能力需要一个支持性的生态系统,强调需要有针对性的政策支持,并进一步研究其在不同地理和行业背景下的应用。

Toward circular transition: Exploring the role of circular start-ups
The transition to a circular economy is essential for addressing global sustainability challenges; however, the role of circular start-ups in this process remains underexplored in the academic literature, which has traditionally focused on established firms. This study aims to address this gap by investigating how circular start-ups operate, their business models, stakeholder engagement and the use of Industry 4.0 technologies. Through a systematic literature review supported by AI tools for the selection and analysis of 28 scientific articles, the study identified seven key areas of action for circular start-ups: circular innovation, social inclusion, knowledge dissemination, education and advocacy, collaborative partnerships, disruptive leadership and sustainability promotion. The findings reveal that although these start-ups act as catalysts for change at the niche (micro) level, their broader impact depends on meso-level factors (stakeholder networks) and macro-level conditions (public policies). The adoption of digital technologies and collaboration with actors such as universities, governments, and investors are critical to their scalability. The study concludes that despite demonstrating high innovation potential, circular start-ups' capacity to drive systemic transformation requires a supportive ecosystem, highlighting the need for targeted policy support and further research into their application across different geographical and sectoral contexts.

期刊介绍: Sustainable production and consumption refers to the production and utilization of goods and services in a way that benefits society, is economically viable, and has minimal environmental impact throughout its entire lifespan. Our journal is dedicated to publishing top-notch interdisciplinary research and practical studies in this emerging field. We take a distinctive approach by examining the interplay between technology, consumption patterns, and policy to identify sustainable solutions for both production and consumption systems.
