CfP: Special Issue "Circular Economy, Innovation and Quality Infrastructure"
The transition to the circular economy (CE) is an emerging global phenomenon in the sustainability context. It is linked with a paradigm shift in modern societies from old linear production systems and consumption towards sustainable, ideally zero-waste production and consumption processes. The success of the CE will rely on innovation in traditional sectors as well as new business models. User acceptance as well as appropriate quality infrastructure including standards, certification, and regulation to provide an appropriate playing field for all stakeholders are important pillars of the new paradigm.
Based on a clearly articulated demand in the research community, we call for papers for this special issue of the Journal "Sustainability" (ISSN 2071-1050). This special issue belongs to the section "Economic and Business Aspects of Sustainability".
