Reflecting on the author’s critical ethnographic inputs from long-term operational research in a circular economic context and the sociological nature of community, new theory is proposed showing the paradigmatic matching of individuals and conglomerates with a linear economic outlook and persons and communities with a circular economic outlook. This research concludes that business models for a circular economy should be based on community perspectives, rather than individual outlooks, and presents an example showing what this could mean. eng Attribution 4.0 International http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ © 2024 The Authors business models circular economy paradigmatic approach community perspectives sociological nature full papers THEME 4: Exploring theoretical and methodological foundations Circular Economy Through Living Community
