| Abstract |
From a cosmopolitan localism perspective, the circular economy could be described as a web of smaller circular economies where the core development is situated in local areas, like cities, or regions, with the active participation of territorial stakeholders. The objective of this research is to explore the development of local business model niches within the scope of circular textiles and fashion, including social enterprises. The research is based on the analysis of a specific territory, the Nouvelle Aquitaine Region in France, where participative observations at different scales (local, regional and interregional) have permitted an in-depth comparison of four local social enterprise business models. The study defends the active role of social entrepreneurs in supporting circular transitions into regions and highlights the strong diversity of challenges they faced during the design of local business models, both at a technological, social and policy level. |
