In a collaborative setting, we developed and validated a circular business model that supports clothing reuse. Inspired by design-science and supported by business model theory, the model reveals patterns of circular business model innovation that revolve around consumer centricity as an innovation driver, the role of logistics as an innovation catalyst, and how these affect business model transition toward a circular...
