Abstract |
LinkedIn is a social media networking platform that provides users with publicly available data related to user and company profiles, job advertisements, groups, events, services, etc. The main feedback on the organizational trends around the Circular Economy (CE) has been mostly based on corporate reports and survey analytics while there are huge data volumes available online. This article aims to deliver valuable insights regarding global CE business activities. Those insights arise from data extracted omicron ut of 7533 companies' profiles on LinkedIn, containing the term CE in any profile section. Some significant findings include the companies' geographical distribution (headquarters), the different industry sectors, each company's number of employees, followers, and foundation year. The last shows a significant increase in new CE companies over the last decade. Additionally, our work focuses on companies' specialties and descriptions, which provide each organization's business activities and specialization. Finally, we investigated the presence of already studied and new Re- strategies, complemented by their most important interactions which undeniably indicate the dominance of the reusereduce-recycle triptych. |
