Circular Economy

This study examines applying the Circular Economy, focused on minimizing waste, to the complex coffee industry. A 7-month case study of a specialty coffee importer in Amsterdam revealed challenges like government policies and industry mindsets, but also highlighted the importance of shared vision, strong business models, and clear communication for success. The research suggests companies navigate identity concerns and misconceptions about CE through factual communication, emphasizing the interconnectedness of barriers and enablers for a strategic approach to a more sustainable coffee indus

The importance for sustainable development is increasingly being recognized by the world, and the looking for ways to implement sustainable development has become the focus in domestic and foreign academics. As an effective means of sustainable development, circular economy has been obtained the attention of academics and government. In this study, with the system analysis of development and principle of circular economy, based on the input-output analysis tools, this paper builds an input-output analysis table and the basic evaluation model of circular economy in enterprise.

This paper is the first sector-specific quantitative study on the employment effects of the EU transition on a global scale, including ethical dimensions of those effects, as far as we are aware. Overall, this paper contributes to the broader discussion of CE-induced social effects of sustainability transitions. Its results indicate that employment could significantly decrease in low- to upper-middle-income countries outside the EU, in particular in labour-intense apparel production.

This report explores the connection between environmental well-being and good jobs. While economic growth has increased in recent decades, so has environmental degradation through pollution and resource overuse. This unsustainable model threatens future economic activity and job security.

This is an article about leveling up the economy through circular economy jobs. It discusses the benefits of a circular economy, which focuses on reusing and recycling products. The circular economy can create jobs in repair,remanufacturing, reuse, and recycling. These jobs could be spread throughout the UK and could help to address regional unemployment. The government can support the circular economy by setting ambitious targets and providing financial incentives.

This is an article about workforce development in global value chains. It discusses the skills needed to participate in the global economy. The article also details challenges faced by countries trying to educate their workforce to meet these demands.

This research highlights the growing interest in Circular Supply Chain Management (CSCM) as a sustainable alternative to traditional linear models. While existing research explores supply chain sustainability, a unified definition for CSCM is lacking. This study addresses this gap by proposing a unifying definition and conducting a comprehensive review of CSCM research. The authors identify under-researched areas like design for circularity, collaboration in circular supply chains, and consumer behavior, suggesting important directions for future research in achieving a truly circular econo

This report offers a lens through which to view and act upon this goal for urban China's future. It offers a framework that harnesses the heritage of innovative and systenic thinking in China, and applies it to a board conception of a circular economy, one that can redefine economic value generation in China's cities, and at the same time make them more liveable for their citizens.

This video discusses what a circular economy is and its benefits. In a circular economy, products and materials are kept in use for longer by repairing, reusing, and recycling them. This contrasts with our current linear economy, which throws things away after use. A circular economy is better for the environment, reduces pollution, and conserves resources.

This is an article about creating a monitoring framework for the circular economy in the European Union. It discusses what a circular economy is and the benefits of having a monitoring framework.
