The role of prototyping and co-creation in circular economy-oriented innovation: A longitudinal case study in the kitchen industry

To bridge the gap between the conceptualisation and implementation of circular value propositions, recent research efforts have focused on linking design-driven approaches with circular-oriented innovation. Such approaches can facilitate iterative processes that emphasise co-creation, prototyping, and real-life experimentation, ultimately...

Co-creation process during the development of circular building components for housing renovation: Mapping co-creation process for the case of circular extension and deriving lessons learned for circular building components

The circular economy transition requires companies to implement innovative supply chains and business models. However, the number of available solutions for the application in the circular built environment is limited. These solutions could be developed through the co-creation between companies aiming for circular transition. However, it is...

Managing the Transition towards Circular Metabolism: Living Labs as a Co-Creation Approach

Resource consumption and related waste production are still rapidly increasing all over the world, leading to social and environmental challenges and to the production of the so-called ‘wastescapes’. Peri-urban areas—in-between urban and rural territories—are particularly vulnerable and prone to develop into wastescapes because they are...
