Abstract

As well known the sustainable circular economy is a regenerative oriented paradigm for transforming the waste into a valuable resource. In this framework, the business model appears in the form of an network architecture design  that relates product, service and information flows, various business actors and their roles directed to potential benefits and value meanings, taking into account the technology-push, market-pull and regulatory innovative  drivers and the linear and non- linear approaches  to emphasize the importance of the connections between intentions and consequences as well as the complexity of social relationships between firm, consumers, investors and public authorities.
