Sustainable Manufacturing Platforms for Closed‐Cycle Bioeconomy Applications

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The transition to a circular bioeconomy requires innovative production platforms that prioritize sustainability, resource efficiency, and waste minimization. Organic waste from agriculture, aquaculture, and food production represents an underutilized feedstock for biomanufacturing, contributing to a circular economy.

Nitric oxide generation from nitrate at the cobalt center

Bulletin of the Korean Chemical Society, EarlyView.
Deoxygenation of a cobalt(II) nitrate complex with CO(g) or PPh3 yields a Co(NO)(NO2) species, which can alternatively be generated from a cobalt mononitrosyl complex, featuring a distinct {CoNO}8 core. Abstract Herein, we report the synthesis and reactivity of the cobalt(II) nitrate complex, (acriPNP)Co(NO3) (2).

Digital Transformation and Informal Innovation in Africa: Reframing STI Policy for Inclusive Circular Economy Transitions

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Amid increasing environmental and economic pressures, Africa's transition to a circular economy (CE) presents a vital pathway to inclusive, low‐carbon development. Yet, how digital transformation, informal innovation, and science, technology, and innovation (STI) policy readiness shape CE outcomes remains underexplored.

Organising for Circularity: An Empirical Analysis of Project Organising and the Development of Circular Economy Firm Capabilities

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Firms pursue the circular economy (CE) by using projects as organisational forms. However, the transformative role of project organising (PO) in developing circular firm capabilities (FC) remains underexplored. In this study, we examine the effects of PO on the development of critical circular FC in CE‐based firms. We draw on primary data from

Operational Performance Implications of Circular Economy Implementation: An Empirical Exploration in the Manufacturing Sector

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global manufacturing sector has increasingly adopted circular economy (CE) practices to address sustainability challenges and improve operational efficiency. This study explores the impact of five CE practices—reduce, reuse, remanufacture, recycle, and recover—on key operational performance dimensions: quality, speed, dependability ...
