Restoring joint homeostasis: A dynamically adaptive meniscal scaffold prevents osteoarthritis by replicating native biomechanics

BMEMat, EarlyView.
This work establishes a paradigm shift from static structural mimicry to dynamic functional replication. By restoring the native “compression‐to‐tension” mechanism, the scaffold ensures robust mechanical stability and superior chondroprotection.

Reporting What Matters, or Reporting What Looks Good? Materiality and Balance in Post–Rana Plaza Apparel Sustainability Disclosure

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainability reports (SRs) are widely criticized for vague disclosures and selective emphasis on positive outcomes, yet systematic research on two core SR challenges remains limited: materiality (whether disclosed content is relevant) and balance (whether both achievements and challenges are reported).

Connecting Thoughts and Actions: A Managerial Process Model on Circular Business Model Innovation

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Addressing environmental grand challenges such as resource scarcity requires circular business model innovation (CBMI) that enables firms to efficiently close and slow resource cycles through novel activity systems. Drawing on a grounded theory approach based on 59 in‐depth interviews with top managers from Swiss SMEs, we developed a process ...

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 ...

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
