While the circular economy (CE) holds significant promise, its potential sustainability gains are often undermined by rebound effects (RE). The field has documented numerous instances of RE in CE business models (CEBM) but lacks a systematic map of the associations between specific business model configurations and rebound mechanisms (i.e., the economic and behavioral causal chains that lead to RE). This research addresses thi...

The transition to a Circular Economy (CE) is promoted as a strategy for resource efficiency and sustainability, yet it can also trigger unintended rebound effects (RE) that erode expected resource and climate benefits. Existing RE assessments have typically focused on simplified efficiency calculations, giving limited attention to consumer behaviour, systemic feedback, and interactions between biological and technological cycl...
