Waders in a sea of debris: a global overview
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The impact of plastic pollution on ecosystems and marine fauna is well documented, although research into its effects on waders (also known as shorebirds) remains limited. Given that waders are exposed to coastal marine litter, this exposure could be a significant factor in the decline of their populations. This study aims to assess the global

Microplastics' presence in the pelagic environment is still largely unknown due to the difficulty of sampling in this part of the ocean. In this study, we quantify microplastics' exposure in a pelagic lanternfish species from the western Mediterranean ...

Barriers to the Adoption of Circular Economy Business Models in the Indian Textile Industry
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Indian textile industry has significant negative impacts on the environment. This industry needs to adopt a circular economy approach to become more sustainable; however, progress on this has been limited. In this study, we report on the barriers to adoption of Circular Economy Business Models (CEBMs) in the Indian textile industry.

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
