The measurement of material, energy, water, and waste flows in organizations represents a key challenge the enhancement circular economy sustainable development. In November 2022, experimental technical standard “Measurement Circularity—Methods Indicators for Measuring Circular Processes Organizations” (UNI/TS 11820:2022) was introduced, which provides, first time, set 71 quantitative, qualitative semi-quantitative indicators assessment levels circularity at micro- meso-level. First, present exploratory research aimed to illustrate main characteristics novel standard. Second, through an online-based questionnaire among 105 managers employees working various industrial sectors Italy, investigate their level awareness perception selected monitoring indicators. Such analysis will help identify weaknesses strengths current version applied descriptive statistics regression models estimate association between indictors concepts “circular economy”, “lifecycle thinking”, “sustainable development” “corporate social responsibility”. Although limited number respondents took part research, explored, features related UNI/TS 11820:2022, proposed original users’ its application, suggested possible opportunities towards from theoretical managerial perspectives.

The consumption of dietary fiber (DF) has been associated with a reduced incidence non-communicable diseases. Despite various strategies implemented worldwide to increase DF intake, it remains low. Therefore, the development new fiber-rich food products that are widely consumed could be strategy improve intake. In this study, an agro-industrial by-product, pomegranate peel powder (PPP), was used as innovative source and antioxidant. objective develop bread enriched DF, antioxidants, sensory characteristics by partially replacing wheat flour (WF) PPP at levels 0%, 2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, 10%.
