Résumé
The aim of this study was to understand how business models innovate in order to contribute to the transition to a circular economy via agricultural waste and by-product valorisation. Eight cases have been studied in the framework of the H2020 project NOAW. There are two main ways how business models innovate in order to valorise agro-waste and by-products. The first consists in innovating the business model itself via either completely new start-ups or business reconfigurations and evolutions from rather classical farm or food processing activities to specialised companies or integrated business parks. The second way is to adapt single business model elements.
