The Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment industry is gaining primary importance within the circular economy, but its implementation is facing internal and external barriers. This paper shows how knowledge-accumulation favours the transition to circular-business-models in a traditional sector. It focuses on the internal barrier related to knowledge and technology and shows a successful overcome within the case study of Astelav Ri-Generation project. The company was able to make the transition to a circular-business-model, preserving the value of the product and achieving economic, environmental and social benefits. The research methodology proposes a holistic single-case study approach, multiple source of evidence have been used to collect different types of data. The study shows that the transition to a circular-business-model is not easy as it appears, but it is a long and complex process that requires accumulation of knowledge and its correct strategic application in the changing competitive environment.

Abstract: | The Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment industry is gaining primary importance within th...e circular economy, but its implementation is facing internal and external barriers. This paper shows how knowledge-accumulation favours the transition to circular-business-models in a traditional sector. It focuses on the internal barrier related to knowledge and technology and shows a successful overcome within the case study of Astelav Ri-Generation project. The company was able to make the transition to a circular-business-model, preserving the value of the product and achieving economic, environmental and social benefits. The research methodology proposes a holistic single-case study approach, multiple source of evidence have been used to collect different types of data. The study shows that the transition to a circular-business-model is not easy as it appears, but it is a long and complex process that requires accumulation of knowledge and its correct strategic application in the changing competitive environment. | |
