Circular economy implementation in the agricultural sector: Definition, strategies and indicators
(Elsevier B.V., 2021)
In the current context of resource scarcity, global climate change, environmental degradation, and increasing food demand, the circular economy (CE) represents a promising strategy for supporting sustainable, restorative, ...
Lessons, narratives, and research directions for a sustainable circular economy
(Wiley, 2022)
The current enthusiasm for the circular economy (CE) offers a unique opportunity to advance the impact of research on sustainability transitions. Diverse interpretations of CE by scholars, however, produce partly opposing ...
Exploring the applicability of circular design criteria for electric vehicle batteries
(Elsevier, 2022)
Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) represent a promising solution to mitigate carbon emissions by road transportation. However, life cycle assessment (LCA) studies on BEVs have demonstrated that batteries are responsible for ...
Technology-enabled circular business models for the hybridisation of wind farms: Integrated wind and solar energy, power-to-gas and power-to-liquid systems
(Elsevier, 2023)
The hybridisation of wind farms (HWF) through the implementation of multiple renewable energy production, storage and distribution technologies can optimise the performance and efficiency of the entire renewable energy ...
Industrial eco-productivity tool: a case study of industrial SMEs
(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2023)
This paper presents a new, unified method to measure and increase production and environmental performance in industrial SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises), which have very limited resources, by identifying areas to improve ...
Circular economy business models and technology management strategies in the wind industry: Sustainability potential, industrial challenges and opportunities
(Elsevier, 2022)
Circular business models, aimed at narrowing, slowing, and closing resource loops, can potentially generate significant economic and social benefits, promote resource security and improve environmental performance. However, ...
Life cycle cost analysis of tomato production in innovative urban agriculture systems
(Elsevier, 2022)
The construction of innovative urban agriculture systems in cities has increased due to food and environmental concerns. While the environmental performance of urban agriculture has been extensively studied, research on ...
Circularity and life cycle environmental impact assessment of batteries for electric vehicles: Industrial challenges, best practices and research guidelines
(Elsevier, 2022)
Circular economy (CE) strategies, aimed at reducing resource consumption and waste generation, can help mitigate the environmental impacts of battery electric vehicles (BEV), thereby providing a more efficient alternative ...
How ready is the wind energy industry for the circular economy?
(Elsevier, 2023)
Despite the strong contribution of wind energy for decarbonisation, the readiness of the wind industry for the transition to a sustainable circular economy (CE) is still unclear. To support CE innovation in the wind industry, ...
