Abstract

Over the last decade, the circular economy has gained traction as a concept to transform the society and economy into more sustainable systems. In this context, research into circular business models arose to implement circular economy strategies at the company level. In this thesis, a consumer perspective on circular business models is taken. The research explored how business models can help achieve a circular economy and lead to sustainable consumption.
