In the study published in March 2021 "Companies on the way to the circular economy" of the Circular Economy Forum Austria, representatives from different economic sectors as well as from politics, education and society were asked about the circular economy. The focus was on Austrian perspectives and challenges for organizations as well as the level of knowledge and expectations of stakeholders.
