Additives Enhancing Biodegradability in Plastics and Potential Implications for Textiles: A Mechanistic Review

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Mechanistic insights from additive‐assisted plastic degradation guide the design of environmentally adaptive textile fibers. Functional additives enhance oxidative, hydrolytic, enzymatic, and microbial degradation pathways. Translating these strategies requires control of fiber architecture, additive distribution, and environmental interactions ...

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 ...

Supply Chain Innovations for Food Waste and Loss: Systematic Literature Review and Future Research Agenda

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Food waste and loss (FWL) remains a critical challenge across food supply chains (SCs) globally, with approximately one‐third of all food produced for human consumption discarded or lost each year. This study systematically reviews how supply chain innovation (SCI) can mitigate FWL.
