Extending the Technology Acceptance Model to a Circular Economy Context: A Study of Hungary's REpont Deposit‐Refund System

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The aim of the study is to examine the public acceptance of the deposit‐refund system (DRS), introduced in the European Union, through an extended version of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). The research supplemented the classic constructs of TAM (behavioral intension, perceived usefulness, and perceived ease of use) with environmental ...

Variability in the drivers of microplastic consumption by fish across four lake ecosystems

Frontiers in Earth Science
Microplastic (<5 mm) pollution has been documented globally throughout freshwater and marine ecosystems. Exposure to and ingestion of microplastics presents a threat to the health of aquatic and marine organisms and humans through the consumption of ...

Locked in Transition: Examining the Role of Paradoxical Tensions in the Transition From Industrial Cluster to Eco‐Clusters

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Industrial clusters are central to the circular economy transition, yet how they develop into eco‐clusters and the paradoxical tensions this transformation fuels remain underexplored. Drawing on 48 in‐depth interviews and secondary data from a Turkish textile‐recycling cluster, we develop an empirically grounded model of eco‐cluster transition

Strategic ESG Priorities and Materiality Assessments: Evidence From Hong Kong Listed Fashion and Textile Firms

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Firms increasingly rely on ESG materiality assessments to prioritise sustainability issues under heightened stakeholder scrutiny. Yet the strategic consequences of materiality beyond firm‐level disclosure remain underexplored. This study examines how materiality assessments shape ESG prioritisation at the industry level using sustainability ...

Achieving Immanent Organizational Ethics: Managing Paradoxical Tensions in Packaging

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Firms face strategic tensions in packaging materials through their conflicting but complementary social, environmental and economic goals in achieving sustainability. Reducing and repurposing plastics, glass, paper and cardboard in agriculture, horticulture and aquaculture is proving a challenge.

Mud and organic content are strongly correlated with microplastic contamination in a meandering riverbed

Communications Earth & Environment
The scale of microplastic pollution in river sediments is gradually being elucidated through an increasing number of large-scale studies. Nevertheless, microplastic distribution within a riverbed – a crucial aspect for quantification – remains poorly ...

Radiologic, Histologic and Scanning Electron Microscopic Characterization of the Peritoneal Reflection in Crohn's Disease

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The peritoneal reflection bridges visceral and parietal peritoneum and lacks adjoining or underlying organs. As such it provides an opportunity to perform a focussed examination of the peritoneum in Crohn's disease. The aim of this study was to exploit this anatomical property and conduct a multilayered, focussed examination of the peritoneal ...

Microwave‐assisted catalytic pyrolysis of textile wastes: Synergistic effects and product characteristics

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examines the microwave‐assisted catalytic pyrolysis (MACP) of individual and blended textiles (cotton, polyester, nylon 6) using ZnO and a ZnO/natural zeolite catalyst. In a custom‐built microwave reactor operated at 500°C, 1 kW power, and a 15‐min residence time, textile wastes were pyrolyzed.
