Textile and clothing (T&C) production consumption have been steadily increasing for many years, accompanied by significant resource consumption, waste generation, environmental impact. Germany holds a pivotal position in the industry, both within EU globally, as leading producer, importer, exporter of T&C. The circular economy (CE) concept has emerged promising solution to address industry’s negative impacts emphasising reduction, reuse, recycling resources across value chain. Digital technologies (DTs) are increasingly recognised key enablers facilitators this transition, promoting efficiency circularity manufacturing processes. However, extent which these implemented German T&C industry remains largely underexplored. This study seeks investigate role DTs advancing CE practices manufacturing. Employing process mapping technology profiling, research adopts an inductive, qualitative approach based on primary interview data explore three areas: (1) current practices, (2) deployment supportive DTs, (3) challenges implementing DTs. findings reveal that adoption is set accelerate among manufacturers, driven regulatory compliance market pressures, with playing critical enabling transition. proposes new operational framework designed facilitate shift towards more textile sector, aligning ambitious goals European Union broader societal objectives.

In open innovation projects (OIPs), project members from different participating organizations often have dual social identifications, namely, identification and organizational identification. While such identifications may align or conflict in shaping collaborative behaviors, their micro-level psychological mechanisms performance implications remain underexplored, as prior research predominantly adopts a firm-centric perspective. This study examines how affect OIP performance. The investigation considers mediating role of knowledge collaboration the moderating resource interdependence. Data were collected through questionnaire survey targeting OIPs major high-tech industrial development zones China. results show that drives to collaborate deeply (e.g., sharing core expertise) broadly involving diverse partners), both which boost By contrast, prioritizes expanding breadth over deep collaboration, risks superficial engagement. Too many partners initially help but eventually harm performance, whereas deeper consistently improves addition, interdependence strengthens positive effects on depth does little for extends identity theory field offers novel insights into practices reality OIPs, revealing interact with shape Additionally, it actionable strategies balancing while leveraging governance.

Abstract Despite the growing interest in circular economy (CE) and recognition of CE as a research field, process building theories remains underdeveloped disorganized. Relevant reasons might include lack clear understanding what theory can be, prevalence gap‐spotting research, common goal for scholars. First, this forum article defines “CE theory” adopting positivistic approach. Second, presents more organized structure toward development oriented on empirical practices. In addition, study highlights how “partial theories” focusing specific practices, or combination them, should be first step an integrative theory. Third, paper suggests two main ways developing partial theories: (i) consolidating concepts already developed into elements theoretical framework; (ii) framing future pieces explicative that contribute to theories. Last, by approach practical‐oriented perspective, provides example contribution reuse. particular, leveraging form propositional theorizing, explains why reuse practices are expected observed industries characterized high degree product modularization, standardization, innovation. doing so, aims enrich foster contributions studies.
