Abstract
The paper introduces a framework for assessing stakeholder engagement and success in Hubs for Circularity (H4C), essential in transitioning to a Circular Economy (CE). It stresses the necessity of collaboration among stakeholders and the need for a structured approach to evaluate the efficacy of H4C endeavours. This framework comprises several key elements: Firstly, it emphasizes the importance of analysing the diverse stakeholder groups involved in H4C initiatives. Secondly, it advocates for a comprehensive examination of the factors influencing the implementation of H4C through a Drivers, Barriers, and Enablers Analysis (DBE). Thirdly, it underscores the development of metrics aligned with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Societal Readiness Level (SoReL) to measure the success of H4C initiatives. Lastly, it outlines future research directions, highlighting the potential use of social network analysis (SNA) and regional input-output (RIO) modelling to explore the socio-economic impacts of H4C initiatives. In essence, the paper highlights the significance of stakeholder engagement and measurement frameworks in driving the success of H4C initiatives and advancing sustainability goals.
