Introduction
The concept of circular economy (CE) is promoted by many countries, like the UK, Japan, China
and France in addition to many business organizations. CE represents a good chance for national
economies to generate profits and create a source of national income. China is the leading
country in CE law adoption, it represents an approach to economic growth and sustainable
development. CE helps in reducing the negative environmental impact and offers new business
opportunities. CE involves material and components reuse, repair, remanufacturing, utilization of
waste derived energy across the product value chain (Korhonen, et al., 2018).
Organizations involved in the CE should understand the environmental impact of transformation
on the environment. There are different processes to the circular economy that occur in a
fragmented manner across various disciplines. Also, different aspects take place according to the
adopted CE approach. The CE refers to the physical and material economic aspects that focus on
recycling and reusing materials in the economy in order to reduce the consumption of the
primary resources. CE facilitates new types of economic activities, generates new employment
opportunities and enhance competitiveness. Also, it uses various sources of clean energy and
limits the use of harmful chemicals (Rizos, et al., 2017).
According to Wautelet (2018), the circular flow speed differs according to the nature of the
recycled materials. There is a negative relationship between the efficiency of stocks management
and the flow speed (Lahti, et al., 2018; London Waste and Recycling Board, 2015).
The following section discusses the recycling of electric motorcycles in the context of the
circular economy. It discusses the recycling of electric motorcycles in the context of the circular
economy. Also, it investigates the required changes, its future and the future steps, policies and
standards for each type of electric motorcycles component.

1.1 Defining circular business models and the circular economy
The business model describes the way in which organizations create and capture value. The
feature of the business model identifies the market value of the company, how it organizes its
business and its stakeholders to generate value. Therefore, the business model is a system of
interrelated activities that expands the organization boundaries. Accordingly, the circular
