Multi-stakeholder approach
The circular economy is about collaboration and requires all stakeholders to work together to change the entire value sphere from the old, linear and unsustainable state to a new, circular and sustainable state.
The circular transition of a market demands a deep understanding of value chains and the roles of all stakeholders and their connection to the different B2B, B2P and B2C market segments.
We divide the circular market sphere of the Nordics into three categories:
We see market segments and natural resource value chains as the vertical factor.
Market sectors, i.e. public and private economic sectors and industries representing neutral market functions, we identify as the horizontal factor.
The third category is the market context — the Nordic region — including regulatory and governmental organisations.
