This study examines the link between selected indicators of a circular economy, including essential components environmental and economic growth. Developed economies are continuously innovating to promote growth giving governmental support producers move from linear ones. Hence, waste materials in industrial systems recycled or re-used, improving efficiency using finite resources with no-waste approach. The aim this paper is following: (1) identify main which also supportive sustainability...
Rapid economic growth, urbanization and increasing population have caused (materially intensive) resource consumption to increase, consequently the release of large amounts waste environment. From a global perspective, current management lacks holistic approach covering whole chain product design, raw material extraction, production, consumption, recycling management. In this article, progress different sustainability challenges facing system are presented discussed. The study leads...
The application of practice theories in the domain sustainability research consumer studies is increasingly advocated based on premise that this allows to analyse consumption as a social phenomenon. Consequently, applications field are expanding geometrically and date, little retrospective work evolution has been made. We conduct bibliometric analysis studies. Our results show temporal succession trends: ‘consumer identity’ dominated between 2009 2012, ‘business governance’ 2012 2014,...
Abstract Circular economy (CE) is gaining interest among industrial firms in light of sustainability concerns, and several incumbent are integrating it into their strategy. In this study, we scrutinize learnings from three large established with a clear CE agenda that front‐runners strategy deployment. We analyze exploitation exploration approaches to problematize how these relate radical innovation, which argue critical for achieving CE. Semi‐structured interviews ( n = 30) were used...
Renting instead of buying new products may be seen as the most efficient strategies circular economy. However, changes in consumption inevitably liberates or binds scarce production factors such raw materials, money and time which can potentially limit potential to save resources. This phenomenon is known environmental rebound effect currently under-researched context resource sharing. paper reviews magnitude tendency effects peer-to-peer boat sharing platform using a double-spending model...
Pursuing sustainability implies setting a multitude of open-ended goals to address environmental and socioeconomic issues today as well those for future generations. The circular economy (CE) paradigm appears more focused regarding agency by using the economic system. However, companies governments aiming operationalize CE in practice, it has been claimed, will face six key challenges limiting “net impact” potential. This work focuses on manufacturers adopt their business. two levers...
We qualitatively analysed how and why environmental improvement actions often lead to unintended consequences. Different theories are integrated delineate the underlying system structure causing this behavior. Causal loop diagram technique is utilized explore visualize: incremental improvements in material energy efficiency can unintendedly cause consumption increase; rebound effect linked generation of waste pollution; give rise social negative externalities, economic inequalities other...
Summary The selection of materials and manufacturing processes often determines most the environmental impact that a product will have during its life cycle. In directing consumption toward products with least on environment, measuring comparing material alternatives site‐specific data is fundamental prerequisite. Within apparel footwear industry, some famous brands recently been basing their advertising claim vegetable‐tanned leather more environmentally friendly than chromium‐tanned...
Global economies have been characterised by a large dependency of material inflows from natural stocks, an exponential growth stock-in-use in the built environment, and extensive disposal waste outflows to anthropogenic sinks. In this context, concept circular economy has emerged, promising circulate materials transforming output flows back into useful resources while promoting job value creation. These promises drawn attention interest policymakers industry, gained popularity across...
The sharing economy is an emerging niche for innovation capable of disrupting established socio-technical and economic regimes. Because this potential to cause radical changes in a wide array domains, research multiple disciplines addressing various aspects entailing phenomenon proliferating. In body literature, the understanding framing are often different. Without knowledge about current state related economy, delineating trends, gaps, needs directing effectively primary not possible. This...
Understanding the global environmental impacts of local consumption is an area growing interest among policymakers and consumers. By knowing what products comprise urban "hotspots," municipalities consumers alike could take deliberate actions to target discourage high-impact products. In this paper, a new method for identifying hotspots presented. The main methodological advances are following: i) material flow analysis areas life cycle assessment combined; ii) 16-year time-series data used...
The United Nations plans have marked global sustainable development for more than two decades. Most of the developed and developing countries adopted these to achieve Agenda 2030, currently formed by 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). analysis interactions between SDGs is a growing area in research interest governments. However, studies on how positive correlations can improve deteriorated goals are scarce date. This study aims at filling this gap finding quantifying synergies...
The linear paradigm of take-make-dispose in production and consumption patterns impedes the achievement global sustainability goals. Strategies for maintaining added value resources circulating them have been discussed as promising future. There are, however, many barriers to be addressed overcome lock-in. large body literature on these is notably diverse terms theory, methods, sectors, products, settings. This demonstrates complexity delineating implications practice research needs. Without...
Efforts to decouple environmental impacts and resource consumption have been confounded by interactions feedback between technical–economic, social aspects not considered prior implementing improvement actions. This paper presents a planning framework that connects material flows the socio-economic drivers result in changes these flows, order reduce conflicts localized gains global losses. The emphasizes need for (i) having different settings of system boundaries (broader narrower), (ii)...
Relatively few consumers are conscious of the waste generated in course producing goods that they consume, although most aware amount dispose of. This article reports on a small-scale survey (N = 28) among stakeholders aimed at developing adequate communication preconsumer footprints consumer context circular economy. Life cycle assessment (LCA) practitioners and assessed five methodological details an approach for calculating communicating product footprint (PWF). Most respondents expressed...
Reusing material products via peer-to-peer (P2P) sharing is one of the circular economy (CE) strategies to fulfil consumer needs with minimised environmental impact and consumption. However, adopting practices challenges both societal normative behaviours as well existing business models businesses. Previous studies grounded on stated answers about values, intentions attitudes users found several factors that impede practice sharing, even though users' were said be satisfied. Nevertheless,...
