Circular economy (CE) can drive our society towards sustainable development. An adequate policy landscape is considered among the most effective ways to encourage firms to adopt circularity. However, there is little clarity as to the most effective public policies to push companies towards implementing this concept. This is particularly challenging in the European Union, where these policies are fragmented and inconsistent. This paper aims at addressing this issue by performing a systematic literature review of 54 publications. These were analyzed to identify the policy measures that scholars consider relevant in supporting firms in the adoption of CE. I also highlight the gaps in the current policy scenario that need further investigation. This methodological approach can help future researchers to bring more clarity and coherence to public policies on circularity, and the issue of the fragmentation that characterizes them can be overcome.

循环经济公共政策：系统评价


循环经济 （CE） 可以推动我们的社会走向可持续发展。适当的政策环境被认为是鼓励公司采用循环经济的最有效方法之一。然而，对于推动公司实施这一概念的最有效公共政策，目前尚不清楚。这在欧盟尤其具有挑战性，因为这些政策是分散且不一致的。本文旨在通过对 54 篇出版物进行系统的文献综述来解决这个问题。对这些进行了分析，以确定学者们认为与支持公司采用 CE 相关的政策措施。我还强调了当前政策情景中需要进一步调查的差距。这种方法可以帮助未来的研究人员使循环性公共政策更加清晰和连贯，并且可以克服它们所特有的碎片化问题。
