Circularity indicators and their relation with nutrient use efficiency in agriculture and food systems

open access: yesAgricultural Systems, 2023
food use by human consumers. Circularity indicators express how many times a nutrient input cohort completes a full cycle ( CyCt ), or passes through the system ’ s top trophic compartment ( UseCt ).

Characterizing chemical toxicity for life cycle assessment using machine learning and deep learning models based on environmental footprint-methodological comparison & textile case study [PDF]

open access: yesRSC Sustainability
The rapid expansion of registered chemicals, coupled with persistent data gaps, poses a major challenge for toxicity assessment in life cycle assessment (LCA) and Safe and Sustainable by Design (SSbD).

A circularity measurement toolkit for manufacturing SMEs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The development and adoption of the concept of circular economy in the last two decades have been remarkable. However, despite its widespread adoption, little progress has been made regarding its measurement, especially in manufacturing SMEs. This paper,

Circularity in animal production requires a change in the EAT-Lancet diet in Europe

open access: yesNature Food, 2022
It is not known whether dietary guidelines proposing a limited intake of animal protein are compatible with the adoption of circular food systems. Using a resource-allocation model, we compared the effects of circularity on the supply of animal-source ...

Necessity-driven circular economy in low-income contexts: How informal sector practices retain value for circularity

open access: yesGlobal Environmental Change, 2022
Low-income informal sector contexts are rife in practices that retain value of materials and goods, but in the academic literature and policy debates these practices are seldom considered as part of the circular economy (CE).

Effects of Circularity Interventions in the European Plastic Packaging Sector

open access: yesEnvironmental Science and Technology, 2023
Low levels of plastics circularity today reflect major challenges for the sector to reduce environmental impacts and a need for wider systemic change. In this work, we investigated the potential for climate and socioeconomic benefits of circular economy (

Agroecological Fertilisation Practices to Improve Sustainability and Circularity in Maize Crop Systems

open access: yesBiology and Life Sciences Forum, 2023
Agroecological practices such as organic fertilisation offer a sustainable approach to crop systems. In this research, organic fertilisers made from a mixture of nejayote (lime water) and ovine manure were evaluated in maize.
