“…Recently, the research community has shown an increased interest in SBMs, OBMs and their combination (referred to as SOBM here), with various studies highlighting different facets of these topics (see Figure 1). The research community [32] has identified the fact that the openness-oriented innovation process contributes within the context of BMI. Companies and non-profit organizations are increasingly researching the OBM, but academic research has also responded to this trend [33].…”

The imperative for decarbonization forces businesses to transform their business models (BMs) and to adopt Sustainable Business Models which focus on creating value sustainably. In the context of Sustainable Business Model Innovation, maintaining close relationships within ecosystems is crucial to ensure a sustainable transformation while preserving competitiveness. As corporate boundaries become more transparent, the importance of external resources increases, leading to a shift from closed to open business models (OBM). In OBMs, stakeholders, including customers, actively co-create innovation and value creation. Our research investigates how integrating these approaches can shape BMs that effectively address decarbonization drivers and tackle the required business model innovation. We conducted a structured literature review to develop a taxonomy that outlines 64 design options across nine dimensions for sustainable, open BMs. In conclusion, this study provides sustainable and open design options, classified into detailed taxonomies. The practical applicability of this taxonomy was demonstrated through a use case classification, providing a foundation for companies and further research into designing and implementing these BMs in the context of decarbonization.

The understanding of sustainable remanufacturing as an innovative method has come about as a solution to the ecological difficulties posed by industrial manufacturing. The present study investigates the concept of industrial reinvention via a review of novel practices in the field of remanufacturing. Remanufacturing is an organizational strategy that seeks to increase the operational lifecycle of items, hence reducing the production of waste and maximizing resource use. The remanufacturing process includes a thorough set of phases, involving removal, repair, and enhancement, with the goal of rebuilding already utilized products to their former functionality as well as performance standards. This study examines the current state of procedures, methods, and strategies that contribute to the evolution of the remanufacturing operation in an environmentally friendly form. The abstract underlines the urgent requirement for sustainable solutions in industrial production as a response to problems with the environment. The idea of remanufacturing has been suggested as an effective way to solve these issues. This recent discussion presents an easy-to-understand representation of the remanufacturing process, emphasizing its essential relevance in increasing the lifespan of goods and decreasing the production of waste. The subsequent section of the abstract describes the primary objective of the research, which is the investigation of novel methods in the field of green remanufacturing. The paper aims to investigate multiple methods, tools, and strategies that are currently impacting the emergence of remanufacturing companies.

EIMIs face the challenge of adapting to the Paris Agreement and the European Green Deal to achieve carbon neutrality. Driven by consumer interest in low-carbon products, regulatory requirements, and investor priorities, companies are pressured to integrate sustainability beyond short-term financial gains. The growing awareness of the environmental impact of business models (BM) has fueled the development of Sustainable Business Models (SBMs). Although the importance of decarbonization of EIMIs has increased, there is a lack of industry-specific research examining the combination of decarbonization and business models, as well as their interrelationships and correlations. This study addresses the discussion on the role of SBMs in decarbonization, improving the understanding of how these drivers can be integrated to enable new BMs for EIMIs. Based on a structured literature review and semi-structured interviews within the EIMIs, the study identifies BM components influenced by these drivers requiring sustainable business model innovation (SBMI). Results show that decarbonization drivers significantly impact all BM components. Experts emphasize the importance of collaborative approaches and cooperation throughout the value chain. This research highlights the need for systematic analysis to understand how companies can manage decarbonization drivers effectively and suggests exploring potential SBM design options.
