Abstract
Circular economy (CE) is an umbrella concept for closing material loops towards enhanced environmental performance.

The lack of consideration of potential rebound effects triggered by CE is delaying the achievement of CE's full potential. This paper aims to further evolve the concept and mechanisms of circular rebound effects by means of a systematic literature review. In this context, this paper proposes a conceptual framework which brings together the main characteristics and mechanisms (incl. the initiating, developer, and mitigating mechanisms) of a rebound effect in the CE…
