Haase, Louise Møller (author), Mugge, R. (author), Mosgaard, Mette Alberg (author), Bocken, Nancy (author), Jaeger-Erben, Melanie (author), Pizzol, Massimo (author), Jørgensen, Michael Søgaard (author)Value preservation is key for the transition from a linear economy to a sufficiency-based circular economy. However, to keep the value of products and materials at the highest level possible over time, different actors such as businesses, designers, consumers, and policymakers must know when value is reduced during a product's lifetime, and how...journal article 2024

Baldassarre, B.R. (author), Calabretta, G. (author), Karpen, Ingo Oswald (author), Bocken, Nancy (author), Hultink, H.J. (author)In the 1960s, influential thinkers defined design as a rational problem-solving approach to deal with the challenges of sustainable human development. In 2009, a design consultant and a business academic selected some of these ideas and successfully branded them with the term “design thinking.” As a result, design thinking has developed into...review 2024

Nußholz, Julia (author), Çetin, Sultan (author), Eberhardt, Leonora (author), De Wolf, Catherine (author), Bocken, Nancy (author)The application of the circular economy (CE) in the building industry is critical for achieving the carbon reduction goals defined in the Paris Agreement and is increasingly promoted through European policies. In recent years, CE strategies have been applied and tested in numerous building projects in practice. However, insights into their...journal article 2023

Çetin, Sultan (author), De Wolf, C.E.L. (author), Bocken, Nancy (author)Digital technologies are considered to be an essential enabler of the circular economy in various industries. However, to date, very few studies have investigated which digital technologies could enable the circular economy in the built environment. This study specifically focuses on the built environment as one of the largest, most energy- and...journal article 2021

Henry, Marvin (author), Schraven, D.F.J. (author), Bocken, Nancy (author), Frenken, Koen (author), Hekkert, Marko (author), Kirchherr, J.W. (author)Circular economy (CE) and sharing economy (SE) are much discussed concepts but potential links between them have not been examined systematically so far. The concepts’ popularity coupled with a lack of definitional consensus may hinder their potential to advance sustainability transitions. Hence, the first comparative bibliometric study of these...journal article 2021

Brown, P.D. (author), Von Daniels, C. (author), Bocken, N.M.P. (author), Balkenende, R. (author)Circular oriented innovation commonly requires collaboration. Yet, to date, circular research lacks empirical investigation into collaborative processes. Collaborative processes are, however, highly researched within strategic management literature, thus offering valuable insights. The purpose of this paper is to investigate, identify and...journal article 2021

Brown, P.D. (author), Baldassarre, B.R. (author), Konietzko, J.C. (author), Bocken, N.M.P. (author), Balkenende, R. (author)Circular oriented innovation aims to address sustainability problems such as resource scarcity, pollution and climate change by (re)designing industrial products, processes, business models, and value network configurations. Although the literature identifies collaboration as crucial for circular oriented innovation—due to the complexity,...journal article 2021

Konietzko, J.C. (author), Bocken, N.M.P. (author), Hultink, H.J. (author)The circular economy may help firms to maximize the value of their material resources and minimize the overall resource use, waste, pollution and emissions of their business activities. Implementing a circular economy program requires radical changes in product, business model and ecosystem innovation. Most research on circular oriented...journal article 2020

Brown, P.D. (author), Bocken, N.M.P. (author), Balkenende, R. (author)Collaborative innovation is necessary to explore and implement circular economy strategies. Yet, empirical investigations into such collaborations are scarce. It is unclear whether the circular context creates differences or represents adaptions within how collaborative innovation is conducted. We draw upon strategic management and open...journal article 2020

Tunn, V.S.C. (author), van den Hende, E.A. (author), Bocken, N.M.P. (author), Schoormans, J.P.L. (author)Access-based product-service systems (AB-PSS) allow consumers to use products for a fee and might support the transition towards a circular economy. This type of business model could decrease negative impacts of consumption by reducing the number of products needed; either by extending products’ lifetimes or by intensifying the use of...journal article 2020

(author)Circular business model experiments may help firms transition towards a circular economy. Little is known about how the participants of experimentation – entrepreneurs, intrapreneurs, innovation managers – develop and test their assumptions during the experimentation process to achieve more circular outcomes. Using a design-science approach,...journal article 2020

Brown, P.D. (author), Bocken, N.M.P. (author), Balkenende, R. (author)We investigate why companies collaborate within the circular oriented innovation process. The purpose is to understand what motives trigger collaborative circular oriented innovation, as well as conditions, drivers and barriers. First, we define circular oriented innovation building on sustainable oriented innovation literature. Subsequently,...journal article 2019

Tunn, V.S.C. (author), Bocken, N.M.P. (author), van den Hende, E.A. (author), Schoormans, J.P.L. (author)Combining sustainable consumption with the circular economy concept could help tackle challenges, such as resource scarcity and climate change by reducing resource throughput and increasing cycling of products and materials within the economic system, thereby reducing emissions and virgin material use. To achieve sustainable consumption in a...journal article 2019

Prendeville, S.M. (author), Cherim, Emma (author), Bocken, N.M.P. (author)Urbanisation and climate change are urging cities to chart novel paths towards sustainable futures. Many cities are turning to the alluring 'circular economy' (CE) concept to guide this redirection. The CE concept re-imagines how flows of resources moving through economies might be 'closed'. Here, we explore this new 'circular city' agenda by...journal article 2018
