Abstract

This chapter aims to investigate the enablers of resource efficiency and leverage them as conditions that can serve as pathways for microenterprises in Estonia to offer green products and services. Based on the Flash Eurobarometer database, 188 Estonian microenterprises datasets are extracted and analysed using fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA). The findings reveal the existence of four distinct pathways, indicating that grants and subsidies, in addition to clearer regulations regarding the use of secondary raw materials, are key conditions that can stimulate the adoption of green products and services. To provide practical guidance for microenterprises and policymakers, within Estonia and beyond, a comprehensive list of recommendations is presented to consolidate the results.
