Sustainability‐Oriented Innovation and Circular Economy Transitions: Evidence From the UK Textile and Clothing Industry

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The transition to a circular economy (CE) in the textile and clothing (TC) industry is frequently attributed to sustainability‐oriented innovation (SOI), yet empirical understanding of the systemic conditions under which SOI enables CE remains underdeveloped.

A Systemic Model for Understanding Business Interactions With Biodiversity and Ecosystems

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation represent critical threats to human well‐being and economic resilience, challenging businesses to understand and manage their interdependence with natural systems. This study develops a systemic framework—the BioModel—that elucidates the reciprocal relationship between businesses, biodiversity, and ...

Biomimicry driven Architecture

open access: yes, 2021
Biomimicy is coined by the greek words bios meaning life and mimesis is to imitate. Hence biomimicry is imitating natural life, its forms and ways in order to evolve newer and efficient solutions. Biomimicry tries to recreate elements and systems of nature in a way that it could solve complex human problems.

Synergies and Trade‐Offs in Circular Economy and Community Development Nexus: Pathways to Local Sustainability

open access: yesCorporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recent scholarship shows growing interest in the circular economy (CE) approach, which promotes resource‐efficient, community‐friendly activities. However, scientific evidence is still needed on the synergies and trade‐offs between CE and community development (CD).

Increasing phospholipid biomimicry governs water permeability in droplet interface bilayers

open access: yesDroplet, EarlyView.
Increasing phospholipid biomimicry in droplet interface bilayers alters how membranes respond to “membrane‐active molecules” such as cholesterol and niacin. This shows that membranes made using synthetic lipids can overestimate small‐molecule effects, highlighting the importance of using biomimetic lipid compositions to improve physiological relevance ...

Bioinspired Janus Evaporator for Efficient Desalination of Saline‐Alkali and Seawater Through Photothermal‐Capillary Effects

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
This work combines textile technology to ingeniously integrate a hydrophobic PP/MXene photothermal sheath with a hydrophilic cotton core into functionalized yarns, successfully developing a Janus core‐sheath evaporator (PM‐CSY‐F). The evaporator demonstrates outstanding evaporation rates and efficient desalination efficiency when applied to treating ...
