Goal Displacement and Goal Conflicts in Circular Innovation Initiatives: Types and Mitigation Practices

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Many firms set ambitious sustainability goals but these are frequently “displaced” by proxy goals that are easier to track and measure. However, the specific types of goal conflicts that follow from this displacement are poorly understood. We conducted a case study of circular innovation initiatives at a global MedTech company and identified ...

Sustaining Circular Innovation Under Volatile Market Conditions: The Critical Role of Industry Platforms

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While industry platforms are widely recognized as enablers of circular innovation, we still know little about how they evolve to scale and sustain innovation as economic conditions tighten and circular economy funding schemes become more selective.

The Dynamics‐of‐Value‐in‐Consumption of Recycled Textile Materials

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We investigate how the perceived value of recycled textile materials evolves across the consumption cycle, a key issue for recycling‐based strategies seeking to close the loop in the fashion industry. We employ a qualitative design combining an exploratory study and a longitudinal study with three interview waves, in which participants ...

Circular Transitions in Healthcare Waste Management in Vietnam: An Institutional Perspective

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACTHealthcare waste management (HCWM) is a growing environmental and public health concern. This study explores how the institutional pressures that shape HCWM practices evolve toward circularity through coercive, normative, and mimetic isomorphisms and how these mechanisms influence organisational behaviour in Vietnam, a complex, highly regulated

Carbon Dot Nano‐Spacers in Triazine Networks for Integrated Photothermal Seawater Desalination and H2O2 Production

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
Cyanated carbon dots (CN‐CDs) are synthesized by the hydrothermal method with carboxymethyl cellulose and cyanobenzoic acid, and CD‐CTN is obtained in situ via cyclotrimerization of CN‐CDs. CD‐CTN possesses excellent photothermal catalytic H2O2 production in seawater, and desalted H2O2 could be obtained, which demonstrates the practical application for
