The role of higher education institutions networks in shaping SDG agendas
Purpose This study explores how Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) engage in networks to support the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Despite growing involvement in sustainability collaborations, research on HEI networks remains fragmented, with most studies limited to single cases or regional scopes, leaving their global landscape and collective impact underexplored. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive, global overview of HEI-led a…
Drivers for adopting circular bio-based building materials to facilitate a circular transition
Employing circular bio-based building materials (CBBMs) mitigates the construction industry’s climate impacts and supports its, and the broader economy’s, transition to a circular model. However, CBBMs remain underutilized in Flanders, Belgium. To boost the adoption of these materials in Flanders, this study identifies 22 potential drivers for CBBM adoption through a literature review and determines 16 main drivers using a mixed-method approach. …
Circular economy in aquaculture
Aquaculture is a rapidly growing sector that significantly contributes to global food security but faces environmental challenges, including resource depletion, pollution, and waste generation. To address these issues, circular economy (CE) principles are promoted to enhance sustainability by reducing resource use, reusing materials, and recycling outputs. However, CE adoption at the farm level remains underexplored, particularly regarding produc…
Exploring circular economy in the cosmetic industry
Cosmetic industry is one important sector in the global economy and is expected to grow in the next years. The need to achieve Sustainable Development (SD) is growing as well, and cosmetic companies are looking for innovative and sustainable solutions aimed at reducing their negative environmental, economic and social impacts. The interest in this field also regards the scientific community which investigates and proposes Circular Economy (CE) as…
Sustainable circular cities? Analysing urban circular economy policies in Amsterdam, Glasgow, and Copenhagen
Cities play a central role in the circular economy (CE) as they are important centres of production and consumption, responsible for 80% of global GDP. European cities are particularly important due to their position of power in the global economy as major markets, and places of industrial and social innovation. Yet urban CE policies and discourses remain poorly researched and understood. This paper addresses this research gap by analysing and co…
Thermodynamic rarity of electrical and electronic waste
The strategic relevance of extracting raw materials from waste from electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) in the EU is increasing due to value chain risks caused by geopolitical instability, accessibility of specific minerals, and decreasing reserves due to growing extraction rates. This article examines the quantities of so‐called critical raw materials (CRMs) originating within WEEE streams from a depletion perspective. Presently, current …
Industrial Symbiosis for Sustainable Management of Meat Waste
This study presents the developing process of the Śmiłowo Eco-Park, located in the Noteć valley region (Poland), is a part of the biggest Polish agri-food consortium, from its initial small waste management company to its final structure as an eco-industrial park using industrial symbiosis methods. The industrial symbiosis applied in the Eco-park promotes a business model which covers the whole life cycle of the products starting from the plant g…
The maturity level of the agri-food sector in the circular economy domain
The agri-food sector (AFS) is crucial in the transition towards sustainability. The Circular Economy (CE) has gained global attention as a tool to achieve it systemically. Nevertheless, it is necessary to understand the maturity level of circularity in the AFS. For that reason, this study aims to analyse, through a systematic and bibliometric literature review, examples of circularity in the sector at inter- and intra-company levels, considering …
Life Cycle Assessment and Life Cycle Costing of unitized regenerative fuel cell
Analysing European Union circular economy policies
Since the publication of the European Union's Circular Economy Action Plan in 2015, this new sustainability paradigm has become a guiding force behind the environmental and economic policies of the Junker Commission. The European Union (EU) has taken a particular approach to circularity, with high expectations to increase competitiveness, promote economic growth and create jobs while reducing environmental impacts and resource dependency. However…
A typology of circular economy discourses
The circular economy (CE) has recently become a popular discourse especially in government and corporate sectors. Given the socio-ecological challenges of the Anthropocene, the concept of CE could indeed help the transition to a sustainable, just and resilient future. However, the actual definition, objectives and forms of implementation of the CE are still unclear, inconsistent, and contested. Different actors and sectors are thus articulating c…
