Background: The introduction of elements of the circular economy requires major structural changes in economies, the involvement of a wide range of actors, including primarily businesses. However, it is worth noting the importance of other organizations, including the so-called third sector.
Research objectives: The purpose of this article is to introduce the issue of cooperation of business and the third sector entities for the development of the circular economy.
Research design and methods: For the purpose of the research paper, the following research method was used: a classic literature review and case study.
Results: Collaboration between business and third sector providers has enormous potential for development and innovation.
Conclusions: In Polish conditions the benefits and possibilities of cooperation between business and the third sector are not properly appreciated, and they are connected with
a huge potential for the entities themselves and the possibilities of implementing the circular economy.
