From Material Tensions to Organizational Paradoxes: How Manufacturers Cope With the Limits of Circular Product Design

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Circular product design (CPD) is central to advancing the circular economy by enabling the narrowing, slowing, and closing of resource flows. Yet, its implementation remains persistently challenging for firms. Prior research has largely framed these challenges as discrete barriers, overlooking the structural contradictions embedded in CPD ...

Beyond Conventional Cost–Benefit Analysis to Integrated Sustainability Assessment in Additive Manufacturing

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Additive manufacturing (AM) adoption provides numerous benefits, including decentralised production, design flexibility, mass customisation, reduced material waste and lightweight designs. However, AM investment decisions are complex and challenging for manufacturers, and limited knowledge exists about the holistic assessment of relevant costs

Stakeholder Alignment Around Technological Pathways in Early‐Stage Sustainability Transitions: A Study of Stakeholder‐Perceived Stakes in Aviation Decarbonization

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines how stakeholder groups become aligned or remain misaligned around alternative technological pathways during early‐stage sustainability transitions. We develop the concept of stakeholder‐perceived stakes, capturing how stakeholder groups evaluate technological pathways through perceived drivers and holdbacks, and how these ...

ALD Derived Li2O Layer Stabilizing Solid Electrolyte Interphase of Silicon/Carbon Anodes for Lithium Storage

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
A durable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) is essential for mitigating the mechanical fracture and interfacial instability of silicon anodes under strong electrochemical‐mechanical coupling. Herein, a uniform Li2O layer was accurately deposited on the Si/C composites to regulate the growth characteristics of SEI.
