摘要:
This study applies the Multi-Level Perspective (MLP) framework to analyze oyster shell circular economy initiatives in Taiwan, examining three diverse companies: a state-owned enterprise, a small-to-medium sized textile manufacturer, and a large plastics corporation. We explore how innovations in oyster shell waste valorization interact across macro (landscape), meso (regime), and micro (niche) levels. Our findings reveal that while micro-level innovations drive change, meso-level structures often present regulatory and market acceptance barriers. The study highlights the critical role of multi-level interactions in circular economy transitions and underscores the importance of collaboration between large enterprises and SMEs in accelerating innovation diffusion. Key insights include: (1) the crucial role of innovation-driven approaches, (2) the need for institutional support and regulatory flexibility, (3) the potential of cross-sector collaborations, and (4) the importance of market cultivation strategies for circular economy products. This research contributes to understanding socio-technical transitions in the circular economy context and offers practical implications for policymakers and industry stakeholders, emphasizing the need for coordinated efforts across multiple levels to foster sustainable resource utilization.
