“…Feng and Yan [57] and Geng and Doberstein [16] propose a mix of subsidies that may need to go beyond standard market-based regulatory mechanisms, or loans, which is later corroborated by Mathews and Tan [17] and Pan et al [35]. Preferential taxes are also frequently mentioned [22,35,38,44,45,59].…”

“…The third shared goal for the CE lies in its motivation to increase system resilience [6,16,22,36,77,78]. In this regard, Andrews [64] and others [50,52,79] claim that resource shortages will result in conflicts, which could be prevented by relying less on resource extraction.…”

“…Others [19,48] find that trust and relationship building are vital to enable the transition from conventional industrial parks to EIPs, in which local authorities can act as facilitators. Wang et al [25] follow this idea and investigate the development of a coordination network between local authorities to foster industrial symbiosis, finding that institutional capacities benefit firms to engage industrial symbiosis by promoting relational links across industry and government; Shi and Yu [24] and others [22,27,48] therefore propose the government as an enabler or facilitator to develop relationships between firms and thus EIPs. Zeng et al [6] expand the scope to include various institutional pressures and find that they improve circular performance of EIPs.…”

“…The majority of articles can be classified as implementation studies, with an emphasis on case studies of predominantly Chinese eco-industrial initiatives at the meso-level of EIPs [17,[19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] or SCs and networks [6,10,[30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43]. Studies on the macro-level of cities [44][45][46], economic areas [47,48], and national and global industries, particularly logistics and waste [7,14,[49][50][51][52], were only included if they informed implementation on the meso-level, as per the inclusion and exclusion criteria.…”

Supply Chain Configurations in the Circular Economy: A Systematic Literature Review

2017

Abstract:As the circular economy (CE) gains traction in literature and practice, several academic communities are opening up spaces that move away from the CE as a pure engineering concept. This systematic literature review (n = 77) analyses and discusses the fragmented body of knowledge on the meso-level of supply chains (SCs): (a) to find common ground that underpins the current implementation of the CE on this level; and (b) to identify drivers, inhibitors, and enablers from which CE SC configurations emerge. The review finds that there remain differences in CE definitions that result from claimed antecedents and scopes, resulting in distinct research streams. On the meso-level, eco-industrial parks, environmental SCs, and closed-loop SCs each face significant challenges. The latter potentially offers the largest environmental benefits but engenders radical changes for business models and exposes SCs to more risk. We firstly argue for moving away from using a prescriptive set of practices as definitions for the CE towards a set of overarching goals to allow for the inclusion of future practices and techniques. Secondly, we highlight that research going beyond the meso-level to consider the wider social and institutional environment is needed to solve current challenges.

“…This may be associated with a set of measures that China has implemented over recent years, such as the implementation of policies and plans, financial incentives, and research incentives. These measures have attempted to contain the negative effects of increasing industrialisation and urbanisation in recent years [153,154], such as increased carbon dioxide emissions [153,155,156], increased amounts of industrial solid waste [154,157], and increasing resource consumption [39,97]. The National Pilot Circular Economy Zone Programme, launched by the State Environmental Protection Administration in 2001, and the laws that have been applied since 2003 to promote the circular economy, are examples of these measures.…”

The Potential of Industrial Symbiosis: Case Analysis and Main Drivers and Barriers to Its Implementation

et al. 2019

Industrial symbiosis, which is characterised mainly by the reuse of waste from one company as raw material by another, has been applied worldwide with recognised environmental, economic, and social benefits. However, the potential for industrial symbiosis is not exhausted in existing cases, and there is still a wide range of opportunities for its application. Through a comprehensive literature review, this article aims to compile and analyse studies that focus on potential industrial symbiosis in real contexts, to highlight the margin of optimisation that is not being used. The cases reported in the publications identified here were characterised and analysed according to geographic location, type of economic activity, waste/by-products, main benefits, and the methods employed in the studies. From this analysis, we conclude that there is great potential for applications involving industrial symbiosis throughout the world, and especially in Europe, corresponding to 53% of the total cases analysed. Manufacturing stood out as the sector with the highest potential for establishing symbiosis relationships, and the most common types of waste streams in potential networks were organic, plastic and rubber, wood, and metallic materials. This article also discusses the main drivers and barriers to realising the potential of industrial symbiosis. The diversity of industries, geographical proximity, facilitating entities and legislation, plans, and policies are shown to be the main drivers.

Renewable energy public–private partnerships in developing countries: Determinants of private investment

In this research, we study, for the first time, the determinants of private investment participation in public-private partnership (PPPs) projects in renewable energies. We analyse a broad sample formed by 1,371 PPPs from 63 developing countries in the period 1997-2016. Using a Tobit estimation technique, our findings reveal that PPPs that are smaller, younger, where the private partner takes more responsibilities, and the prime revenue source comes from the electricity consumers' payments, show a greater degree of private investors' participation. In addition, better institutional and economic environments impact positively on the attractiveness of private investment. Other interesting findings are that the support of multilateral development banks (MDBs) positively affects the participation of private investors in renewable energy PPPs, and this becomes more important when the institutional and economic frameworks are weaker. The article sheds light for practitioners and policymakers on promoting actions that reinforce the determinants that positively affect private participation. In this way, government actions that promote the institutional financing of third parties, as well as improvements to their institutions and economic environment, enable efforts to be prioritised due to the positive impact it has on private participation. Similarly, good indicators of these factors allow private investors to select projects that will be more successful.
