The Exploitation Of Innovative Eco-product Design Capabilities For Firms’ Sustainable Competitive Advantage And Sustainability Performance In The Circular Economy: The Role Of Customer Involvement

The linear economy causes resource depletion, emissions and environmental degradation and respectively induces price spirals, pollution and climate change. This research considered factors which could instead reveal the benefits of the circular economy. It specifically hypothesized the exploitation...
