Topic Overview

The circular economy (CE) is a vital concept linking environmental sustainability with business strategy. It emphasizes redesigning products and services in order to minimize waste and keep resources in use as long as possible. Circular business models significantly reduce raw material extraction and waste. The European Union’s Circular Economy Action Plan and other global initiatives make such circular innovations a strategic imperative. In this project, students will explore both theory and practice: they will study CE principles, relevant policy frameworks and business model innovations, then apply these concepts to analyze real-world case studies.

Tasks

Survey academic and industry sources on circular economy concepts, sustainable business models and relevant regulations. Summarize key frameworks and best practices.
Analyze various circular business strategies and evaluate how they create value while reducing waste.
Analyze the role of policy and regulation in sustainability, studying frameworks like the EU Green Deal, Ecodesign for Sustainable Products and right-to-repair rules.
Analyze reporting frameworks and ESG indicators relating to CE.
Examine examples of CE in action. This may involve analyzing companies or international organizations that have implemented circular strategies (using reports, interviews or public data) to identify success factors and challenges.

Requirements

Undergraduate or graduate student in Business, Economics, Management, Environmental Studies or a related field.
Fluent in English (reading, writing and speaking) to engage with literature and collaborate effectively.
Interest in sustainability, innovation and resource efficiency.
Good analytical and critical-thinking skills; ability to work independently and manage a research project.

Expected Outcomes

Research Report - A comprehensive written report that includes a literature review, analysis of case studies and recommendations for circular business strategies.
