With increasingly frequent supply chain disruptions threatening business continuity, localized material reuse and circulation emerge as resilience strategies in companies. The extraordinary initiated by the COVID-19 pandemic therefore presented an insufficiently understood but exceptional opportunity for Circular Economy (CE) transition businesses. From theoretical perspective of institutional pressures shaping corporate behavior, this qualitative study explores CE adoption pre-pandemic sourcing practices at 20 Finnish construction companies new, CE-relevant resulting from COVID-19-initiated disruptions. discovers that while diverse both supporting hindering resulted disruptions, a fundamental was suppressed lack enablement. While experienced regulations customer priorities particular were identified preventing adoption, expected to contrarily promote future. An intriguing contradiction is discovered between anticipated driving it. To harness embedded future support needed. Accordingly, recommends regulatory development reuse, widespread public communication education overcome aversion towards solutions construction, collaborating establishing ecosystems.

With the growth of worldwide population and depletion natural resources, sustainable development food systems cannot be ignored. The demand for agri-food waste valorization practices like high-value compounds production has received widespread attention; however, numerous challenges still exist. present study aims to identify those propose effective solutions based on smart technologies. Based a systematic review literature, combs existing constructs six-dimension conceptual model challenges. Moreover, integrates Fermatean fuzzy set (FFS) with multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods including stepwise weight assessment ratio analysis (SWARA), trial evaluation laboratory-interpretative structural modeling method (DEMATEL-ISM), quality function deployment (QFD) evaluate weights each dimension, find causal interrelationships among fundamental ones, rank potential solutions. Finally, results indicate that “Government” dimension is severest challenge point out five primary in valorization. most solution “Facilitating connectivity information sharing between supply chain members (S8)”, which may help government related practitioners manage efficiently also facilitate circular economy.

Transitioning to a circular economy is inevitable in well-developed and developing economies. Biowaste valorization into value-added products has shown promising sustainable solution compared its fossil-based counterparts. However, it yet be scientifically analyzed what extent geopolitical conditions affect the environmental sustainability of economy. To fill this gap, we conducted consequential life cycle assessment biorefining biowaste lactic acid bioenergy Denmark Iran as representative examples developed economies, respectively. Despite notable impacts associated with energy consumption infrastructural limitations, could benefit more environmentally from transitioning by 2030 than Denmark. This contrast arises fact that existing dominant waste management consists sanitized unsanitized landfills, which appear likely continue through 2030. Therefore, any alternative scenario would help avoid arising landfills. In contrast, already well-established practice for biowaste, namely anaerobic digestion. Accordingly, investigated scenarios were, on average, 85 %, 855 177 130 % higher those regarding resource scarcity, ecosystem quality, human health, climate change, both countries, incineration, culture medium, ion exchange, vacuum distillation, transportation, emissions digestate applications farmlands, inorganic landfilling process contributed most overall impacts. Besides geological conditions, our study revealed abiotic augmentation P. acidilactici bioaugmentation demonstrated superior performance other methods. The results also highlight importance international collaboration implement approaches accelerating global mitigation efforts. comprehensively evaluate sustainability, recommended examine aligned socio-economic pathways various concentration pathways.

Objective. To explore the implementation of Biomass Co-Firing in Indonesia, objective encompasses an analysis how policies, practices, and investments can support desired sustainable development goals. Design/Methodology/Approach. This research utilizes Library Research methodology, which examines literature, legal documents, other textual sources to investigate integration into Indonesian Green Economy. Results/Discussion. The renewable energy using biomass co-firing power plants offers significant potential for reducing carbon emissions addressing challenges clean Indonesia. With a strong foundation as outlined Article 2 Law No. 30 2007 concerning Energy, government has provided solid basis development. However, still faces permitting regulations cross-sector coordination. A drawback is lack specific incentives from projects, along with uncertainties regarding certification standardization. overcome these challenges, concrete steps are needed, such providing fiscal financial industry players enhancing coordination among government, private sector, stakeholders. Conclusions. promises reduction supports despite facing Originality/Value. harmonization projects Economy paradigm Indonesia emphasizes resource efficiency, environmental impact reduction, economic growth.

Abstract Australia’s linear economic system hinders the collective pursuit of sustainability, equity, and well-being. As demands for housing, food, energy, transportation, goods escalate, transitioning to a circular economy becomes imperative. Such transition necessitates transformation in business governance models, as well cultural shifts, foster sustainable material flows. The proposed change will likely unfold five phases: envisioning future, evaluating options trade-offs, initiating local actions, amplifying national efforts, solidifying global agreements. This shift occur within context significant technical, environmental, social, megatrends, each phase is overlap with next, some phases occurring concomitantly ongoing. It reshape socio-technical systems social practices that fulfil our essential needs. Moreover, this process inherently circular, characterised by continuous cycles learning, adaptation, risk management.
