| Abstract | Based on a mixed qualitative-quantitative method, this study explores consumer participation in the circular economy (CE) in France. A comprehensive framework of circular consumption helps understanding how circular consumption practices are performed. Qualitative findings reveal that formal schemes backed by Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) regulation engage consumer in circular fostering consumption. However, quantitative results highlight that circular consumption in second hand circulation also follow informal paths, and can involve consumption slackening through repair and care for products. The study suggests to promote circular practices beyond formal schemes, consider incentives for secondhand purchases, and foster a culture of repair. Leveraging these opportunities can contribute to a comprehensive transition towards a circular economy in France. |
