Abstract

A transition from a linear to a Circular Economy is called for. Futures markets in secondary raw materials can support the circular economy through allowing circular businesses to hedge price risk. A blockchain-based architecture is designed using Design Science Research. The architecture can be implemented to facilitate the underlying infrastructure for futures markets: spot markets.
