Due to vast differences between various regions, it is very complicated, if not impossible, to create fair, simple, and applicable legislation that can consider all of these differences in a meaningful way. Thus, there is a need for clear and easy ways of developing sustainable and viable solutions locally, as well as communicating them with local community and all the way up to the supervising governmental representatives. To meet this need, we developed a simulation tool that allows the user to explore the effectiveness and impact of a local biorefinery in waste management. As an iterative model based on state machine agents, it can easily be modified for a multitude of scenarios with changes taking place over time, while considering the viewing points of all involved. In this article, we report the first version of this tool and demonstrate its usefulness in estimating suitable biogas reactor size in a biorefinery.10aBioreactor10acircular economy10anutrient recycling10asimulation10awaste management1 aKoskela, Olli1 aDempers, Clemens1 aKymäläinen, Maritta1 aNummela, Jarkko  utimreview.ca/article/142101787nas a2200229   4500008004100000022001400041245007400055210006900129260004200198300001000240490000700250520113100257653002101388653001401409653001501423653001101438653000901449100002801458700001901486700002201505856003001527       2020                        eng d  a1927-032100aUsing Foresight to Shape Future Expectations in Circular Economy SMEs0 aUsing Foresight to Shape Future Expectations in Circular Economy  aOttawabTalent First Networkc07/2020  a42-510 v103 aFuture foresight in business plays a central role in firms&rsquo; strategic planning, innovation, and product development activities. This is particularly true for the firms that are operating in rapidly changing business environments, in which a firm may obtain significant competitive advantages by coming up with new innovations and customer solutions. This article studies future foresight mechanisms and practices in innovative SMEs operating in circular economy&ndash;related industries. The future demands set by legislation and regulation, consumer buying behaviour, and environmental consciousness, all have a strong impact on an SME&rsquo;s future horizon, in which there may be prosperous business opportunities as well as several challenges. This paper presents a qualitative case study conducted on seven Finnish circular economy-oriented SMEs. The case study reveals that the SMEs in this industrial sector are quite active in foresight activities, and that they have developed a variety of practices for effectively utilizing foresight information in their product development and strategic planning activities.10acircular economy10aforesight10ainnovation10aPESTEL10aSMEs1 aJärvenpää, Anne-Mari1 aKunttu, Iivari1 aMäntyneva, Mikko  utimreview.ca/article/137400681nas a2200241   4500008004100000022001400041245003600055210003300091260004200124300000800166490000600174653003000180653002100210653001600231653001300247653002600260653002600286653002000312653002800332653002500360100001800385856003600403       2016                        eng d  a1927-032100aEditorial: Insights (July 2016)0 aEditorial Insights July 2016  aOttawabTalent First Networkc07/2016  a3-40 v610abusiness model innovation10acircular economy10acooperation10aindustry10aInnovation management10aintellectual property10aOpen innovation10aresearch infrastructure10avalue network design1 aMcPhee, Chris  uhttp://timreview.ca/article/99901576nas a2200229   4500008004100000022001400041245006700055210006500122260004200187300000900229490000600238520091300244653002001157653001901177653001501196653002101211653001501232653001901247100002201266700002101288856003701309       2016                        eng d  a1927-032100aA Framework for Sustainable Circular Business Model Innovation0 aFramework for Sustainable Circular Business Model Innovation  aOttawabTalent First Networkc07/2016  a5-120 v63 aThe circular economy concept is a novel economic model aiming to foster sustainable economic growth, boost global competitiveness, and generate new jobs. In order to make the circular economy mainstream, radical and systemic innovation is needed. Currently, a majority of the business modelling tools and methods lack at least some of the identified and needed elements for innovating business models in a circular economy. In this article, we build a framework for sustainable circular business model innovation by adding important perspectives: recognizing trends and drivers at the ecosystem level; understanding value to partners and stakeholders within a business; and evaluating the impact of sustainability and circularity. We present the results of a case study with a startup company, which was designed to test the framework and provide a concrete example of its usage and future development needs.10abusiness canvas10abusiness model10acase study10acircular economy10ainnovation10asustainability1 aAntikainen, Maria1 aValkokari, Katri  uhttp://timreview.ca/article/1000
