Circular Transitions in Healthcare Waste Management in Vietnam: An Institutional Perspective

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Healthcare waste management (HCWM) is a growing environmental and public health concern. This study explores how the institutional pressures that shape HCWM practices evolve toward circularity through coercive, normative, and mimetic isomorphisms and how these mechanisms influence organisational behaviour in Vietnam, a complex, highly ...

African Twist of Circular Economy: Insights, Policies and Recommendations

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While the circular economy (CE) has gained traction, this paper argues that mainstream CE approaches risk being misaligned in the African context. Drawing on a mixed‐methods synthesis of empirical studies, policy documents and cross‐country examples, the study shows that Africa's CE transition is fragmented and uneven, leaving the continent at

Remediation of Organic Pollutant for Wastewater Treatment by Employing Sustainable Graphene Oxide/NiO‐ZrO2/Zeolite Ternary Composite Material

CleanMat, EarlyView.
Graphene oxide/NiO‐ZrO2/zeolite ternary composite was synthesized hydrothermally. Efficient adsorption of Congo red onto GO/NiO‐ZrO2/zeolite composite was studied. ABSTRACT The present study employs a novel method for the synthesis of graphene oxide (GO) based ternary composite utilized for the adsorption of Congo red (CR), an anionic dye molecule. The
