Although the concept of circular economy as a term was first mentioned in 2015, when "Action Plan for economy" adopted at European level, it is still not possible to speak sufficient knowledge base this area. The Action (COM (2015) 614) can be seen an initial strategic document that sets out concrete and ambitious roadmap implementing Sustainable Development Agenda 2030. However, Green Agreement cannot left context either (COM(2019) 640). It new growth strategy transform EU into fair prosperous society with modern, competitive, resource-efficient economy, net greenhouse gas emissions expected zero by 2050 economic independent resource use.

The green economy (GE) is a very contemporary knowledge area with global research growth and rapid industrial adoption rates. As area, the GE continuously expanding, making it challenging for researchers to identify latest trends, add relevant body of or forecast impact technologies in industry. Industrial partners are seeking adopt new concepts implement technological development but find difficult quantify information. Systems thinking orientates around quantification all contributing factors can provide structure expanding adoption. key challenge identifying factors, subsystems, systems quantitative approach. Therefore, this expands on two-tiered methodology, first tier adopting literature develop expert GE. This applied second-tier analysis create quantifiable relations between influencing variables advancing results comprehensive insights into currently towards 9 96 elements. quantified interaction strength their elements an intra-system inter-system provided. overall aim study GE, inclusive subsystems two-layer protocol adopted be used as foundation future studies that models interactive data.

The need to balance ecosystems and ensure the well-being of all people underlines urgency closing product life cycles.In recent years, circular economy (CE) has emerged as one most relevant factors in achieving Sustainable Development Goals.This paper presents a systematic literature review (SLR) waste management efficiency at European level.Furthermore, it standard data envelopment analysis (DEA) 27 countries over period 2017-2021, focused on municipal waste.Three models (i.e., economic, technical, sustainable) are proposed optimise rates recycling material use.The SLR, based an initial set 216 articles that was subsequently refined through double screening 31, highlights strategic role management, solid triangle.The results DEA indicate stronger synergy between technical sustainability dimensions than economic components.Moreover, they highlight fragmented performance Europe, with distinct clusters emerging top performers each three models, Netherlands, Slovenia, France, Italy, Germany Sweden demonstrating superior for both CE outcomes sustainable performance.Overall, emphasise played by technology facilitating efficient model minimise landfilling other environmentally detrimental practices, thereby stimulating development communities optimised line broader objectives.

Municipal solid waste (MSW) management is a global concern, especially in low–middle-income countries such as Pakistan, which require the redressal of MSW treatment issues to attain sustainability sector. The prosperity municipal collectors, i.e., sanitary workers, critical hierarchy. Hence, health, safety, social welfare, economic conditions and overall wellbeing this tier need be focused on more. Safeguarding interests workers will support sector sustainability, help generate revenue minimize climatic impacts.

Abstract Assessing the eco‐efficiency of municipalities regarding provision solid waste services is a useful tool for improving its sustainability. However, robust, and reliable methods are needed to benchmark performance municipalities. Data envelopment analysis (DEA) typically used assess municipal (MSW) service providers. variables in assessment bear distinct weights each individual unit, limiting thus interpretation. Therefore, benchmarking MSW providers becomes challenging because different conditions applied. Thus, this study uses common set DEA (DEA‐CSW) model providing services. Eco‐efficiency scores were estimated by integrating total costs, recycled unsorted as input, desirable outputs undesirable outputs, respectively. The empirical application demonstrated that when using DEA‐CSW, only one municipality (out 36) was eco‐efficient managing MSW. weightings inputs allocated based on degree satisfaction municipality. Satisfaction ranged from 0.829 1.000 indicating none heavily penalized estimation allocating weights. In conclusion, demonstrates compared traditional models, DEA‐CSW approach more adequate at

The current waste crisis calls for a stable and integrated institutional framework. Policymakers try to untangle the complicated interconnected acts, regulations, directives in European Union (EU). However, it is not plain sailing observe implement vast regulatory armamentarium of EU circular economy (CE) sectors achieve sustainable management (SWM). Aim present study showcase historic – international framework on as well main hazardous special streams order build an SWM Moreover, CE necessitates safeguarding critical raw materials (CRMs) energy, blueprint policies Net-Zero Age. Hence, would show how can establish SWM, even though going face complex challenges till conclusion Agendas 2030 2050.

Sustainability and optimizing waste management efficiency through circular economy principles have become significant trends in recent research. This study aims to compare the within framework selected Central East European countries. To achieve this, research employs Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) Fractional Regression Analysis, specifically using Slack-Based Measurement model. model measures by referencing inefficient Decision-Making Units (DMUs) rather than origin of coordinate system. Key variables such as GDP per capita, growth rate, indicators were analyzed Eurostat data from 2010 2022. The findings reveal varying potentials for improving hazardous non-hazardous countries investigated. Additionally, differences mutual influence variable on are identified Analysis. These insights emphasize pivotal role advancing policies.
