Abstract

Limited attention has been paid to considering how potentially conflicting interests of place-based authorities and firms might impact on the ability of a place to attract and retain benefits from circular economy activity. This chapter analyses the interplay between firms and local agencies in order to understand the influences on transitioning to a circular economy within a particular locality. The authors undertook a case study of two medium-sized industrial regions: North Humberside (England) and Styria (Austria), where policymakers are attempting to engage with companies to develop a circular economy. Semi-structured interviews and observations were undertaken with policymakers across scales and businesses located in each region to explore circular economy initiatives from multiple stakeholder perspectives. Policymakers in both regions see the circular economy as a way to improve the economic and environmental performance of their region. Conversely, businesses in each location seek to foster circular economy initiatives internally.
