The Role of Patents in Circular Innovation: The Case of Sustainable and Recyclable Materials in the Textile Industry

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines whether and how patenting advances circular innovation and therefore contributes to the sociotechnical transition toward a circular economy. Using the multilevel perspective (MLP) as a theoretical framework, we conducted a case study set in the empirical context of man‐made cellulosic fibers. These heavily patented fibers

Solar Hydrogen Production with Metal/III–V Semiconductor Junction Monolithically Integrated on Si

ChemElectroChem, EarlyView.
GaAs is a promising material for high‐performance photoelectrochemical water splitting, but faces challenges like corrosion, cost, and large overpotentials. This study overcomes these by developing 1 µm thick GaAs layers on Si substrates. Using appropriate surface treatments, the GaAs/Si photocathodes show a significant 0.63 V onset potential shift and

The Circularity Paradox: The Rebound Effect, Governance, and the Limits of Corporate Sustainability

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The circular economy (CE), often celebrated as a sustainable panacea, faces increasing criticism due to the rebound effect (RE)—a paradoxical phenomenon in which efficiency gains indirectly lead to an increase in resource consumption. This study fills a relevant gap by analyzing, through a systematic review, how contemporary literature ...
