Academic research related to Circular Economy (CE) from the relationship perspective is scarce, and specifically empirical case studies are missing. In this working paper, we report on a pilot study conducted in waste management context in Finland, with a waste management company as a focal actor. Our intended contribution relates to the industrial network literature by taking the ecosystem view and by conceptualizing the current CE ecosystem to understand how it could be reconfigured to meet the CE challenges. In this task, we utilize three different literatures: 1) interaction approach, 2) circular economy, as well as 3) inter-organizational networks and ecosystems. Our results highlight the necessity of exploring and building new value propositions across actors within ecosystems, and the challenges related to the process.
