Abstract

This paper focuses on the pivotal role of consumers in driving the transition to CE. Our objective was to review factors that may affect change in consumer behaviour such as— engagement with circular activities, change in industrial practices, and a legislative push from policymakers using gray literature, peer-reviewed publications, and desktop studies. In subsequent sections the role and challenges of these factors are discussed.
