Relationship Between Micro‐Level Circular Economy and Sustainable Performance in the Metalworking Industry

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The large multinational metalworking industry has increasingly adopted micro‐level circular economy (MLCE) practices; however, the extent to which these initiatives translate into sustainable performance remains insufficiently understood. This study examines the relationship between MLCE and economic, environmental, and social performance ...
