Abstract

In this Letter, we aim to address a knowledge gap in the intersection, and boundaries, between law(s) and circular policies, business models, and practices. By exploring the existing literature and real-life examples across the world, this work provokes further research towards a deeper understanding of the necessary changes in the legal paradigm to enable circular innovation and achieve more circular and sustainable futures. Further research to address these gaps, particularly focussed on adaptiveness and resilience, can enrich our understanding of the challenges and opportunities in this evolving field.
