ABSTRACT In this study, we explore the impacts of waste recycling ratio as a proxy for circular economies on sectoral productivity in European Union between 2000 and 2021. We present model that contextualizes industry's transition to green economies, namely, model, which adapt neoclassical models by considering energy intensity development technologies. After estimating results using FGLS PCSE, understand higher availability secondary raw materials contributes functions different industries, but effect is limited exponential increases these reduce productivity. To ensure efficiency policies aimed at consolidating propose policy recommendations leverage scale scope improve industries while contributing cycle their own externalities.

Sustainable development, as a cornerstone of contemporary political frameworks, is closely linked to the concept circular economy (CE). In context European Union (EU), transition towards considered key element in achieving sustainable, low-carbon, resource-efficient, and competitive economic model. The aim this article partially fill research gap regarding connections between recycling, use secondary raw materials, innovation competitiveness EU member states’ economies. Based on critical literature review, it was identified that there lack comprehensive studies analyzing these relationships countries, which serves starting point for research. study applies CE indicators proposed by Commission, which, after conducting were deemed most appropriate analysis. Descriptive statistics used analyze data recycling rates materials countries. Additionally, enhanced an analysis impact practices various conducted through multidimensional comparative using Hellwig's method. results indicate significant positive correlation rates, competitiveness. Specifically, Germany, with municipal waste rate 69.3% 2021, ranks at top among countries terms number patents investments technologies related economy. findings suggest national policies should focus supporting increasing efficiency, could benefit both environmental protection growth. also lower may face limitations case focusing promotion help improve performance areas.

Published: March 11, 2025

This study presents a novel approach that integrates hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) technology with circular economy principles to optimize the management of nitrogen and phosphorus in agricultural wastewater. Given increasing global resource scarcity continuous ecological degradation, valorization biomass wastewater has become critical pathway for promotion sustainable development. Biomass wastewater, which contains crop residues, forestry leftovers, food processing byproducts, long been regarded as useless waste. However, this abundant organic matter possesses significant renewable energy potential. The can significantly reduce environmental pollution. Through optimization HTC process parameters, we achieved an improvement quality yield carbonized products, facilitating efficient recycling utilization resources. research demonstrates transform into valuable biofertilizers, energy, feed, while simultaneously reducing reliance on fossil fuels, decreasing greenhouse gas emissions, mitigating impact activities. paper provides comprehensive exploration application ecosystems, highlighting its beneficial role management, efficiency, pollution reduction. findings suggest holds potential optimizing treatment, promoting recycling, advancing Furthermore, offers theoretical support practical guidance implementation is paramount importance fostering economic development achieving agriculture.

ABSTRACT This study examines the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) with circular economy (CE) principles in Thailand's tourism industry. It explores interactions between AI‐Enhanced Predictive Waste Analytics (AI‐PWA), Regenerative Resource Integration (RRI), Dynamic Material Flow Optimization (DMFO), and AI‐Induced Resistance to Change (AIRC). Using a mixed‐methods approach, qualitative insights from industry stakeholders are combined quantitative analysis via Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS‐SEM). Findings reveal that AI‐PWA improves real‐time resource management, driving DMFO supporting regenerative practices through RRI. However, AIRC moderates AI's effectiveness sustainability transitions, concerns such as job displacement, mistrust, complexity hindering adoption. provides actionable strategies mitigate resistance, enhance stakeholder collaboration, scale AI adoption resource‐constrained settings, contributing SDG 12 13. The findings offer practical for aligning innovations sustainable development high‐variability industries.
