The construction of circular economic models in industry represents a critical mechanism for achieving sustainable development goals. However, data on the economy, derived from diverse metrics and assessment methodologies, often yield contradictory results. In light this, study suggested new approach to evaluating potential circularization. This entails identifying key factors influencing circularization assessing their suitability implementation different levels. identified indicators industrial at regional level. paper proposed classification economy that simultaneously take into account length production cycle degree proximity economy. rating method is employed evaluate region successful models. calculated by constructing both general integral index individual sub-indices. application this methodology enabled ranking Russian regions based To make recommendations, analyzed were divided four groups, according an evaluation potential.

ABSTRACT The novelty of this article lies in its focus on how mature ecosystems align their members around a new value proposition, specifically supporting circular economy entrepreneurship. We use dynamic capabilities theory to analyse the coordination and collaboration challenges entrepreneurial that seek support entrepreneurship based strategies. Drawing interviews with 34 ecosystem actors 70 ventures, as well three group discussions, we identify key hinder ecosystem's alignment: (i) lack shared understanding concept, (ii) diverse business strategies for creation, (iii) insufficient tools ventures (iv) limited interactions between specialists generalists. Overcoming these requires orchestrators holistic perspective, strong legitimacy ability mobilize ecosystem‐level resources. These must foster vision (sensing), promote investment expertise (seizing) adapt evolving needs (reconfiguring). Using context, contribute by highlighting importance materiality, emergence geographically unbound role non‐market exchanges. For practitioners, offers actionable insights reconfiguring propositions such providing entrepreneurs.

This study investigates the effect of hot water extraction (HWE). The research how different biomass fractions (0–4 mm, 4–8 and 8–16 mm) respond to hydrothermal treatment, with cellulose content analyzed using Kürschner–Hoffer method. Results indicate that loss varies across fractions, highest degradation observed in mm fraction lowest stalks thinner than 4 mm. HWE process removes both hemicellulose lignin selectively, which helps improve enzyme accessibility maximize bioethanol yields. absence fermentation inhibitors suggests is an effective alternative acid-based pretreatment. Based on these findings, optimizing parameters for sustainable production from hemp may be possible. Optimal conditions alternate pretreatment methods should evaluated future efficiency industrial feasibility.

This study aimed to identify patterns of sustainability engagement based on circular economy (CE) strategy implementation, CE-oriented collaborative relationships, and environmental, social, governance (ESG) performance, as well investigate whether these dimensions predict corporate reputation. Data were collected through a survey 235 upper-level managers in the Brazilian agribusiness sector. A two-step analytical approach was applied, with cluster analysis identifying groups exhibiting distinct regarding (“Very Sustainable” “Low-Sustainable”), followed by logistic regression, which singled out six key predictors among 28 variables, namely avoiding non-sustainable materials, repurposing by-products, fostering shared CE vision, adhering ethical guidelines, ensuring financial transparency, fair labor practices. The final model achieved 83.4% accuracy, underscoring how an integrated enhances Considering its theoretical contributions, this extends NRBV RV theories demonstrating that strategies, ESG performance strengthen pollution prevention initiatives, sustainable product development efforts, trust partners, other achievements, thereby enhancing firms’ reputation performance. Methodologically, integrates predictive modeling assess sustainability’s impact From managerial perspective, findings emphasize benefits from circularity, integrity, stakeholder engagement. However, cross-sectional design, industry-specific sample, reliance self-reported data limit generalizability. Future research should adopt longitudinal cross-industry approaches, examining regulatory shifts, technological advances, evolving demands sustainability–reputation nexus while incorporating external sources variations across institutional cultural settings.
