Resumen:
This article analyses regional drivers and barriers regarding the implementation of circular economy actions carried out at the European Union level. Using data from Flash Eurobarometer 498, we gather regional data on circular economy actions taken by firms in European regions in 2021. We analyse drivers and barriers from this dataset by focusing on both existent spatial heterogeneity and the perspectives of the engagement in these actions. Our results shed some light on the identification of regional contexts that may boost/restrict the implementation of circular economy strategies.
