Decoding the Circular Economy Job Market in the EU
The circular economy ( CE ) is increasingly promoted as a pathway to sustainable development, yet systematic evidence on the structure of the CE labor market remains limited. Little is known about how CE ‐related job opportunities are distributed across countries, which job characteristics dominate this market, and how such patterns compare with indicators from other sources. In this study, we address these gaps by analyzing CE ‐related job posti…

Circular economy policies for water and wastewater
The circular economy (CE) transition is a modern challenge for policymakers, utility managers, and consumers, particularly in the water and wastewater sector. It offers essential environmental benefits by reducing resource use, minimizing waste generation, and enhancing water recycling and reuse. This transition is important for addressing challenges in traditional water management, environmental and climate impacts. This editorial introduces the…
The link between economic growth, energy intensity, environmental taxes, trade openness, and environmental quality
This study investigates how economic growth, energy intensity, environmental taxes, and trade openness impact environmental quality. The empirical analysis employs first- and second-generation panel data estimators that account for heterogeneity across sections and dependence issues. The empirical results highlight that economic growth and energy intensity, mainly from traditional industries, negatively affect environmental quality. On the contra…
Insights into sustainability and circular economy trends in luxury fashion
The fashion industry plays a pivotal role in societal evolution and economic growth, yet it also stands as a significant contributor to environmental degradation. In response, the concept of slow fashion has been gaining increased attention in recent years, offering sustainable and circular alternatives to fast fashion. Luxury fashion, traditionally known for its heritage, exclusivity, and craftsmanship, exhibits elements similar to slow fashion,…
‘Made in Germany’ how companies approach Circular Economy on Linked-In
In this study, circular economy (CE) relevance in Germany will be discussed based on LinkedIn readily available data. LinkedIn company profiles located in Germany with ‘circular economy’ in their description or any other field were selected and used as a data source to analyze their CE relation. Overall, 514 German companies were analyzed in reference to the 15 German regions they belong. Most companies are located in the federal state of Berlin …
Exploring the Effect of Environmental Programs on Primary School Pupils’ Knowledge and Connectedness Toward Nature
In recent years, environmental education has focused on developing pupils’ knowledge of the natural environment rather than enhancing their connectedness with nature, which could have a greater contribution to addressing the environmental problems caused by human activity. This study explores the impact of an environmental education program on participants’ nature connectedness using Schultz’s Inclusion of Nature in Self emotional scale (INS). Th…
The nexus of United Nations' 2030 Agenda and corporate sustainability reports
The role of corporate responsibility in the protection of the natural environment is unquestionably a key factor in achieving a stable and sustainable future for modern economies and societies. Thus, the business community implements practices to protect the natural environment and eliminate its negative impacts. Such corporate practices are placed under the umbrella of the sustainable development concept which pursues multifaceted economical env…
Unification of Archaeological Sites in Greece
The simultaneous involvement of aesthetic variables and economic, social and environmental objectives in urban design and planning is quite rare, and difficult to be implemented and interpreted within a local context. The top-down approach has been the most common strategy employed in urban planning, whereas sustainability principles call for more participatory methods. This study presents a design approach to the unification of archaeological si…
Quantifying the Effect of Macroeconomic and Social Factors on Illegal E-Waste Trade
As illegal e-waste trade has been significantly growing over the course of the last few years, the consequences on human health and the environment demand immediate action on the part of the global community. Though it is argued that e-waste flows from developed to developing countries, this subject seems to be more complex than that, with a variety of studies suggesting that income per capita is not the only factor affecting the choice of region…
A tool for analysing the interdependence of indoor environmental quality and reported symptoms of the hospitals’ personnel
The working environment and the working conditions can influence the well-being of hospital employees and consequently their performance at work. The present questionnaire-based study (737 valid questionnaires) developed and evaluated a quantitative structural equation model (SEM) that examines the interdependence between the indoor environmental quality (IEQ), the working conditions, the atopic constituents and the reported health complains of e…
Public perception for monitoring and management of environmental risk
This paper analyzes residents’ perceptions concerning an industrial accident with environmental impacts. The data used were obtained by 505 face-to-face interviews. Binary and logit models were developed to elicit parameters that affect the risk perception of residents in nearby potentially affected agglomerations. Additionally, using geographical information systems, the spatial properties of risk perception of the accident are presented interpo…
Safety alerts reduce willingness to visit parks irrigated with recycled water
This study demonstrates the effects of framing safety precautions on the presentation of a controversial product (recycled water [RW]) to the inhabitants of two Greek towns by asking them whether they would visit various configurations of a public park irrigated with RW. The same questions are posed in an additional version augmented with a safety alert. Among many others, results mainly show that willingness to visit (WTV) a park irrigated with …
