What is it about?

Why is it important?
As circular practices are becoming a buzzword, it is essential to understand their current adoption and how they become part of everyday consumer routines together with the rebound effect and trade-offs associated with their adoption.
Perspectives
Writing this article was a great pleasure as it exposed me to the complexity and different conception of circular consumer practices. I hope the article will be a starting point for considering the rebound effects and trade-offs of circular practices whiles providing a common framework for examining them in everyday consumer routines.
