My research examines the role of sufficiency in the circular economy. Specifically, I investigate how sufficiency-oriented circular economy initiatives can be organized in different organizational contexts.
The research focuses on sustainable production and consumption, resource use, and circular economy policies and practices. It explores how sufficiency is applied in circular economy initiatives and how it may inform decision-making by policymakers and businesses.
Using qualitative methods, I combine literature reviews with empirical studies based on interview data and stakeholder feedback on circular economy policy initiatives. Through these approaches, I examine how sufficiency is incorporated into theoretical and practical discussions on the circular economy and translated into policy and business practices.
I am jointly affiliated with the University of Eastern Finland (UEF) and the Finnish Environment Institute (Syke), working equally across both organizations.
