This book explores the transition to the circular economy through a multi-dimensional lens, highlighting its necessity for a sustainable future. It analyses both public and network governance models essential for systemic transitions and contextualises these for Australia’s unique socio-political landscape. Through analyses in two key sectors―textiles and construction―the book identifies emerging trends, barriers, and opportunities. The findings reveal a fragmented but promising public and network governance approach fostering increasing collaboration across actors. The book concludes with ten actionable takeaways for implementing circular practices, underscoring the importance of enabling transformative, inclusive, and place-based circular economy transitions.
