ABSTRACT This paper discusses circular entrepreneurship in the context of the European battery sector and identifies three overarching themes that have emerged as particularly salient, namely, access to resources, conflict of interest, and the need for further refinement of terminology. As the nascent field of circular entrepreneurship studies evolves and expands, there is now a need to prioritize themes that may be particularly pressing and in need of further analysis. The paper suggests that more scholarly focus should be devoted to the themes access to resources and conflict of interest, and it develops analytical concepts as well as refines definitions. The paper also highlights relevant theoretical insights from adjacent fields, such as supply chain management and effectuation theory in entrepreneurship studies. A research agenda and a corresponding theoretical proposition are also put forward. The point of departure for the assessment is circular entrepreneurship in the European battery industry, but the insights presented hold relevance for circular entrepreneurship studies more broadly and across industry sectors.
