Impact of Packaging and Recycling Systems on Material Recirculation: A Stage‐Decomposition Model

Packaging Technology and Science, EarlyView.
A system‐level view emerges from decomposing recycling into four stages (participation, collection, sorting and process yield), diagnosing constraints and targeting interventions. Cumulative equivalent uses (CEUs) quantify long‐term retention, revealing marginal improvements at high baselines generate disproportionately larger gains than low‐baseline ...

Circulant Matrix‐Based Box–Behnken Designs With Economic Run Sizes

Quality and Reliability Engineering International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We introduce Circulant Matrix‐Based Box–Behnken Designs (CBBDs), a new class of three‐level, second‐order response surface designs constructed using circulant matrix structures. These designs satisfy an enhanced orthogonal minimally aliased (OMA∗${\rm OMA}^*$) property: they retain the classical OMA property—where main effects are orthogonal ...

Understanding Climate Change Education Practices in Kalimantan Through Exploratory Field Research With Local Voices

Science Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article is based on a study that examines the practices and perspectives of selected educational actors in Kalimantan, Indonesia, on climate change education. The region is highly affected by climate crises and holds global relevance for mitigation due to its tropical forests and peatlands.

Gender Equality as a Driver of Inclusive Green Transitions: Evidence From EU Panel

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how gender equality contributes to inclusive and sustainable green transitions across the European Union (EU). Using macro‐panel data for 27 EU countries, it applies three econometric models to assess how changes in gender inequality, measured by the Gender Inequality Index (GII), influence female employment, women's ...

Tourism Labor Market and the Attainment of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals: Pending Challenges, Ongoing Opportunities and More Responsible and Inclusive Scientific Research for the Advancement of the Tourism Industry

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Concerning human resources, research in the tourism sector has traditionally focused on a personnel‐managerial perspective rather than a labor market‐condition analysis per se, limiting the examination of its unique working ecosystem and distinct socioeconomic particularities. This has evidenced an apparent thematic research gap in the tourism
