Previous research has demonstrated the economic and environmental benefits of demanufacturing over complete product shredding prior to material separation importance for rework, reuse, repair, remanufacture recycling in transition towards a more circular economy. Additionally, some products do not allow use destructive processes during end-of-life treatment e.g., battery containing products. Th...

Higher Education Institutions are facing a challenging situation: how to introduce concepts such as Sustainability or the Circular Economy into their curricula. This study presents organize Computer Reuse Program, an educational proposal for Reuse, Repair, Refurbishment, Remanufacture and Recycling of computers Curriculum case study. The is based in Service-Learning methodology, by which studen...

-To fight terrorism successfully, the quality of data must be considered to avoid garbage-in-garbage-out. Research has shown that data quality (DQ) goes beyond accuracy to include dimensions such as believability, timeliness, and accessibility. In collecting, processing, and analyzing a much broader array of data than we do currently, therefore, a comprehensive approach must be developed to ens...

Reverse logistics is an area of growing academic concern, as reflected in the increase related literature from scholars around globe. The main objective this study was to find out effects reverse practices on performance FMCG firms Kenya . Specifically identify effect Product Recalls, Manufacturing Returns, Reuse, Recycling, Repackaging and influence Salvage scrap disposal Kenya. research desig...

As a concern with manufacturing industries, circular economy (CE) practices—often labeled “circular (CM)”—are industrial tasks through which several principles have been integrated. Among these strategies, “3R” (recycle, refurbish/remanufacture, and reuse/redistribute) is the key strategy that assists industry closing loop for sustainability. An effective inclusion management of 3R lead firm to...

Refurbishment and remanufacturing are the industrial processes whereby used products or parts that constitute product restored. Remanufacturing is process of restoring functionality a part it to “as-new” quality, whereas refurbishment itself “like-new” without being as thorough remanufacturing. Within this context, EU-funded project RECLAIM presents new idea on based big data analytics, machine...

Sustainability and digital transformation represent two of the main trends last decade. More in detail, Industry 4.0 (I4.0) Circular Economy (CE) are key concepts that characterizing present will shape future. From extant literature review emerges that, although academics identify a possible synergy between these topics, concrete integrated framework able to achieve CE at systemic level is stil...

Highlights ASABE has created a society initiative on transforming food and agricultural systems to achieve greater circularity. A task force been charged by with guiding the effort. Transforming more circular bioeconomy will require multiple disciplines, policy makers, inclusion of economics, societal, environmental aspects. The special collection topics include conversion wastes into usable pr...

Reverse logistics (RL) is considered the reverse manner of gathering and redeploying goods at end their lifetime span from consumers to manufacturers in order reutilize, dispose, or remanufacture. Whereas RL has many economic benefits, it presents compromises businesses that wish remain competitive but be responsible global citizens terms social, environmental, risk, safety aspects sustainable ...

Purpose: The circular economy (CE) paradigm, traditionally based on the 3R (reuse, recycle, and remanufacture) principles, provides benefits for sustainability represents a big opportunity manufacturing enterprises to reduce costs take economic advantages. This paper proposes an approach that can help stakeholders transition towards CE oriented business by evaluating convenience of introducing ...
