Purpose: The purpose of this research is to identify the meanings attributed to the circular economy (CE) by Polish regions at the NUTS-2 level. It explores how CE is characterised in regional development strategies up to 2030, examining the associations and actions linked to CE, and analysing the differences and similarities between regional definitions and the national framework provided by the Polish CE Roadmap. Design/methodology/approach: A semantic field analysis was conducted on regional development strategies (2030) and the Polish CE Roadmap. The study examined 12 regions that defined CE, comparing their definitions with the national framework. Semantic categories-equivalents, descriptors, associations, oppositions, actions of the subject, and actions towards the subject-structured the analysis. Findings: Definitions varied significantly among regions. While some view CE as an economic model, others consider it an element of such a model. CE is commonly linked to extending resource lifecycles, minimising waste, and addressing economic and environmental challenges. Regional definitions often supplemented the national framework by adding categories such as actions or oppositions, which are absent in the national definition. Research limitations/implications: The study focuses on explicit CE definitions, excluding broader contextual references. Future research should examine full strategy documents and assess the alignment between regional and national strategic goals. Practical implications: Harmonising CE definitions at regional and national levels could enhance policy implementation and provide clearer guidance for regional governments. Cross- sectoral collaboration and unified frameworks are essential for effective CE management. Social implications: Coherent CE definitions can improve public understanding and acceptance, fostering greater societal engagement in circular practices. Regional adaptation can address local challenges while promoting sustainable development. Originality/value: This paper applies semantic field analysis to CE definitions, addressing a gap in research on CE multi-level governance. It offers insights for policymakers and public sector managers on improving CE institutionalisation and aligning regional and national strategies.
