Drivers and barriers to the CE: A micro-/meso-level analysis

An appropriate analysis of the adoption of CE innovations (CEIs) should be based on the application of an analytical framework which takes into account the wide array of determinants which influence their uptake. As mentioned in a previous chapter, CE innovations are a subset of all eco-innovations which, in turn, are a subset of all innovations. Therefore, such an analytical framework should consider the barriers and drivers of innovation in the general innovation literature, but also take into account the particularities of eco-innovations and CE innovations.
