An Empirical Study on Public Sector versus Third Sector Circular Economy-Oriented Innovations

Sustainability, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 16(4), P. 1650 - 1650

Published: Feb. 17, 2024

Extensive research has explored organisational dynamics across various sectors in relation to circular economy (CE) innovation practices. However, a critical gap exists understanding CE activities the public sector versus third sector. This distinction is crucial as sector’s role growing, necessitating tailored policies instead of homogenous integration into sector-based approaches. We address this by focusing on nuanced comparisons between and sectors, delving motivations constraints surrounding innovations these different sectors. Employing an exploratory sequential design, we integrate qualitative insights from 12 interviews with quantitative measures derived 153 survey responses within communities. The findings reveal subtle yet significant disparities community. Notably, cost factor differences related availability finance knowledge factors associated lack information technology emerge. contributes evidence-based insights, offering practitioners policymakers innovation. These can be instrumental steering transition towards more sustainable economy, emphasising need for strategies rather than one-size-fits-all approach.
