The social impacts of prevailing circular economy (CE) strategies remain under-researched despite the considerable attention that CE has received from scholars and in industry. Existing indicators primarily focus on business models a decision-making standpoint, overlooking consumer engagement alternative solutions. Boasting one highest recycling rates globally, Taiwan faces challenges optimizing collected resources. This study delves into plastic waste by integrating behavior within strategies, leveraging open-source resources additive manufacturing technologies to align with United Nations Agenda 2030, particularly Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 4 (Quality Education), 12 (Responsible Consumption Production), 13 (Climate Action). These facilitate transformation reusable materials. Employing an exploratory participatory action research approach, this uses Precious Plastic Universe (PPU) database identify potential post-consumer polymer waste. Subsequently, it explores tools for converting usable polymers. Lastly, investigates student design projects enhance creativity problem-solving skills sustainable development, employing at National Normal University Department Design. Thematic analysis data revealed several recurring patterns, including role generation, development among students, working recycled themes were observed quantitative (collected single-use polymers) qualitative insights observations interviews. Through thematic analysis, highlights key factors contributing successful integration, providing model future educational industrial applications design.

The production of leather goods significantly contributes air water pollution generates challenging waste disposal issues. present study explored emerging sustainable paradigms through both social strategic analyses. results indicate that, although consumers unaware differences among types, there is a growing openness alternatives willingness pay for these products. Quality durability key consumer priorities, though bias toward fast persists. Notably, while value vegan alternative, experts caution that synthetic may have environmental drawbacks compared traditional leather. work supports SDG 12 by advocating reduced reliance on materials with high impact adoption alternatives. Enhanced communication also drive model integrates responsibility profitability. Given prestigious status within Made Italy initiative, suggests increase global market.
