The European Union (EU) is moving towards sustainable development, and a key role played by circular economy (CE) models geared reducing pressure on natural resources, generating jobs fostering economic opportunities. Indicators are able to aggregate variety of information their use, through the use multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA), allows performance alternatives be monitored. This work aims calculate EU27 in years 2019 2020 according 15 CE indicators available Eurostat. results Analytic Hierarchy process show that greatest impact circularity determined category ‘competitiveness innovation’, which together with ‘global sustainability resilience’ accounts for two thirds overall weight. MCDA Belgium prevails both baseline alternative scenarios, ahead Italy Netherlands respectively. In general, policies see western countries excel, while eastern weaker. implications this highlight three main barriers development models: (i) illegal waste management; (ii) lack knowledge low level investment technologies (iii) distribution value among stakeholders. way, resource management based will enable Europe meet challenges less dependence imported raw materials.

The ecological transition in the transport sector is a major challenge to tackle environmental pollution, and European legislation will mandate zero-emission new cars from 2035. To reduce impact of petrol diesel vehicles, much emphasis being placed on potential use synthetic fuels, including electrofuels (e-fuels). This research aims examine levelised cost (LCO) analysis e-fuel production where energy source renewable. used process expected come photovoltaic plant other steps required produce e-fuel: direct air capture, electrolysis Fischer-Tropsch process. results showed that LCOe-fuel baseline scenario around 3.1 €/l, this value mainly influenced by component followed hydrogen one. Sensitivity, risk analyses are also conducted evaluate alternative scenarios, it emerges 84% cases, ranges between 2.8 €/l 3.4 €/l. findings show current not competitive with fossil yet development e-fuels supports protection. concept pragmatic sustainability, incentive policies, technology development, industrial symbiosis, economies scale learning can supporting decarbonization sector.

Abstract Sustainable development serves as a guiding principle for societies aiming to progress beyond purely economic measures of well‐being. This paper constructs composite indicator based on the framework equitable and sustainable Well‐being (BES), integrating 105 indicators Italian regions over period 2018–2022. The results show that provinces Bolzano Trento led ranking. Regionally, those in north scored highest 2022 (0.603), followed by central region (0.556) south (0.404). Disaggregated data 12 BES dimensions highlighted specific areas policy intervention. advocate pragmatic, non‐ideological approach sustainability, asserting Italy's competitive advantage (i.e., “Made Italy” program) is not contingent territorial differences, but provinces' relative ability leverage integrate their unique attributes global scale.

The concepts of green economy and circular are changing the strategies operating practices many companies, as manufacturing sector must be able to strike a balance between technological challenges, sustainability demands, digitization opportunities. This study focuses on paper aims assess which actions could enable company in more competitive. method used is multi-criteria decision analysis, eight alternatives compared (virgin fiber, recycled renewable energy, waste, wastewater, digitization, human resources, customer relations) through competitiveness indicator. results show that criterion considered most relevant health safety, highlighting how social sphere plays fundamental role. Regarding indicator, resources management seen important parameter, showing their valorization can an enabling factor for both sustainable However, all other combined provide winning mix. It emerges only raw materials minor importance. Social changes affecting industry internally externally reveal underestimating this dimension counterproductive.
