Nätläkare, vårdgivare som tillhandahåller sjukvårdstjänster via smartphoneappar, har gått från att vara perifera inslag i den svenska sjukvården till att på allvar utmana det konventionella sättet att bedriva sjukvård.

I cirkulära ekonomier förväntas konsumenter förlänga produkters livslängd och säkerställa att de återvinns—en betydande omställning från dagens ekonomiska system där linjära konsumtionssätt dominerar. För att stödja denna omställning behöver vi förstå hur cirkulär konsumtion (o)möjliggörs i olika kontexter som formats av linjär konsumtion, t. ex. detaljhandeln och hushåll. Syftet med denna avhandlIn circular economies, consumers are expected to extend product lifetimes and ensure recycling—a considerable departure from the linear take-make-dispose model. To support this shift, we need to understand how circular consumption is currently enabled in retail markets and how consumers navigate these tasks. Thus, in this dissertation, I aim to explore and conceptualise how circular consumption is
