Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Although recent literature on the circular economy (CE) has highlighted the important role of ecosystems, there is still limited understanding of the main themes that characterize circular ecosystems. This study addresses this gap by combining a comprehensive topic modeling analysis employing latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) with a systematic

Pyrolysis of Wastewater Biosolids Significantly Reduces Estrogenicity [PDF]
, 2016 Most wastewater treatment processes are not specifically designed to remove micropollutants. Many micropollutants are hydrophobic so they remain in the biosolids and are discharged to the environment through land-application of biosolids. Micropollutants

Productivity and Emissions in Italian Agriculture: A Farm‐Level Efficiency Analysis
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Achieving the European Union climate‐neutrality objectives requires metrics that jointly assess farm productivity and greenhouse gas emissions at a granular level. However, harmonized evidence for benchmarking the productivity–emissions nexus of Italian farms remains limited.
