This paper identifies the Circular Value Chain Blind Spot in consumer behavior research on Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). A scoping review was conducted to ascertain current state regarding handling WEEE concerning circular or transformational linear behaviors. By evaluating 122 articles from databases including Scopus, Web Science (WoS), ProQuest findings reveal a notable focus three key strategies among 9 R framework: recycle, repair, reuse. Recycling emerges as predominant area research, while transformation concepts are also explored. Unexpectedly, concrete action underrepresented, with primary emphasis companies governments. As consumers recognized crucial actors within economy (CE), this terms contradictory Spot. Addressing future concludes comprehensive agenda encompassing six areas: nudging, differentiation, systemic perspective, waste hierarchy, value chain strategies, cultural factors. adopting agenda, we anticipate overcoming fostering equal consideration all stakeholders involved problematic.

A successful circular bioeconomy calls for business models intentionally designed circularity, and there is a lack of archetypes Business Models Circular Bioeconomy (BMCBE). This paper aims to identify describe overarching (BMCBEs) (i.e., archetypes). To that end, systematic literature review (29 core papers) practice (32 organizations in 4 continents) were conducted. Seven BMCBE identified: Optimising resource efficiency use; Establishing biorefineries; Value recovery from waste; Resource exchange; Innovation towards bio- renewable resources; Valuing the local economy, and; Service- result-oriented value offers. Key insights point most recurrent practices companies revolving around waste (present 26 cases) resources (13), which can lead range environmental benefits. offers are limited should be further explored relation feasibility The presented pave way future research supports practice, as starting opportunities engage with bioeconomy.
