EXPLORING THE SYNERGISTIC RELATIONSHIPS OF CIRCULAR BUSINESS MODEL DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCT DESIGN
Open accessAbstract
Circular economy is a key approach for promoting a sustainable society. The design of innovative circular business models is critical and potentially leads to changes in strategies during product design and development. Systemic approaches relating business models and product design should be reflected in the methodological support for circular transformation. This article investigates this synergistic relationship and, by means of literature review, discusses how circular business modelling approaches address the integration with product design. Gaps and future improvements are outlined.

Minor changes on the product are inevitable when configuring PSS BMs for CE.
“However, minor changes on the product are inevitable, as identified in previous research from the PSS [62] or CE [9,63] fields.”
From Configuring New Business Models for Circular Economy through Product–Service Systems (2019) · cites this paper as [63]
The Introduction says circular business modelling should identify required product changes, and Section 3 says some circular strategies gain benefits or become viable only with product-design changes. Neither passage establishes that changes are always inevitable or that they are minor; Section 4.2 even discusses developing new products or redesigning them for remanufacturing.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
