Abstract

The circular economy as new non-linear and circular view in fields of production and consumption has been able to create many benefits for its supporters and has attracted the attention of many researchers, companies, countries and business decision makers.This research has tried to develop concept with the aim of comprehensively identifying the dimensions and effective factors in the circular economy at the macro, miso and micro levels.present study is applied in terms of purpose and meta-synthesis qualitative method has been used to screen the characteristics. Published articles related to the CE ranged from 2015 to February 2020(search date).A total of 346 English language articles were obtained, of which 113 articles were related to the Web of Science database and 233 articles were related to the Scopus scientific database and after going through the meta-synthesis steps, 104 articles were finally studied. According to the three levels of circular economy, analysis of extracted topics, in the form of goal, strategy, components, requirements, enablers, tools, evaluation indicators, key success factors and classification facilitators dimensions and were presented in the conceptual model. In order to evaluate the agreement between the research codings, SPSS software and kappa test were used and the value of kappa coefficient was 0.847, which indicates the agreement between codings. Among the suggestions of the research, we can mention the education and awareness of the society, the formulation of support standards, the legal and ownership ambiguity of the industrial partnership, and retargeting based on the interests of the environment and society
