abstract: The transition towards the Circular Economy is becoming an increasingly important topic in society. Governments have taken the transition towards the Circular Economy as one of the main goals for the coming decades and have set out policy to realize this goal. There is an important role for businesses in this transition, for example by applying circular business models. Stimulating the application of circular business models and meeting the preconditions for circular businesses to locate in an area are relevant topics for this. This research examines the location factors that are important for circular businesses, and compares this with the traditional literature on location factors. The results show that circular businesses find the proximity of other circular businesses the most important location factor.
