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.

Drawing upon the Organizational Information Processing theory principles, this study delves into impact of explorative and exploitative artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities on supply chain (SC) performance, specifically regarding efficiency resilience. A cross-sectional descriptive through survey leverages structural equation modeling data gathered from 267 distributor firms to test proposed model. Results indicate that Explorative AI have a positive SC resilience, but they do not significantly efficiency. Conversely, influence negative Furthermore, importance digital divide among supply-chain partners is established, which affects outcomes. The took broad view as different impacts Another novelty it considers "digital divide" partner presenting views an emerging economy.

Abstract Despite extensive research on e‐waste management, the integrative responsibilities of multi‐stakeholders and dependency technology remain underexplored. This study aims to develop an multi‐stakeholder responsibility model advance net‐zero goal in management. Following PRISMA protocol, we conducted a systematic review 99 articles. The revealed three themes stakeholder responsibility, four performance measure categories, solutions, roles smart technologies. These insights informed development conceptual enhance environmental e‐waste. proposed emphasises critical attributes relationships, including partnership, shared inclusiveness, transparency; it offers practical guidance for prioritising efficient mature technologies be adopted diffused, enabling effective Our extends theory from organisation‐centric problem‐based perspective, highlighting its implications management suggesting future directions sustainability.

Circular supply chains (CSC) and evolving technologies work together to enhance chain performance. To assess this, we examine the integration of technologies, such as Industry 4.0, smart manufacturing, logistics in a CSC setup. The study focuses on two product types: normal (non-smart) products. Smart products feature sensing, connectivity, networking, monitoring capabilities, while lack these features. Using multi-objective optimisation technique, analyse network estimate benefits technologies. aims maximise profits minimise carbon emissions across chain. Eleven models are examined based varying demand percentages gamultiobj algorithm (a variant NSGA II) is used generate Pareto frontiers. findings show that 2-5% increase technology adoption costs can boost by 15-30% reduce 20-30% for
