Development of circularity indicators based on the in-use occupation of materials

Gustavo Moraga et al.

Summary: Circular economy strategies aim to maintain materials in a useful state and avoid losses and hibernation. The proposed indicators, in-use occupation ratio (UOR) and final retention in society (FRS), were applied and compared in different scenarios to measure the circularity of materials.

A study on consumer consciousness and behavior to the plastic bag ban in Kenya

Isaac Omondi et al.

Summary: Kenya successfully implemented a plastic bag ban with 67% consumer support. Urban and rural residents had different perceptions towards cleanliness and waste management. Ownership of reusable bags increased, with plastic reusable bags being the most commonly owned and discarded.

Material flow analysis and sustainability of the Italian plastic packaging management

Mariarosaria Lombardi et al.

Summary: The paper aims to measure the level of circular economy in Italian plastic packaging management in 2017 using material flow analysis, and compare the results with the other EU-28 countries. Italy has a good recycling rate, but there is still room for improvement, while other countries also face different challenges and opportunities.

Towards sustainable resource management: identification and quantification of human actions that compromise the accessibility of metal resources

Jo Dewulf et al.

Summary: This paper discusses the accessibility of metals and minerals once they have entered the technosphere, identifying six human actions that compromise accessibility and proposing solutions to address resource (in)accessibility. Through a case study on cobalt in the EU, it demonstrates the current challenges and impacts of resource inaccessibility.

Post-consumer plastic packaging waste flow analysis for Brazil: The challenges moving towards a circular economy

Isabella Pimentel Pincelli et al.

Summary: Plastic packaging waste is generated in large quantities, with a significant portion in Brazil not being monitored for proper management. Only a small percentage of plastic packaging waste is recycled, highlighting the need for improved information systems, social inclusion of informal waste collectors, and development towards a circular economy.

Moving from linear to circular household plastic packaging in Belgium: Prospective life cycle assessment of mechanical and thermochemical recycling

Didem Civancik-Uslu et al.

Summary: Belgium is transitioning to collect more household plastic packaging waste separately for increased recycling. Results of a Life Cycle Assessment show that mechanical recycling has a better net environmental impact compared to thermochemical recycling, mainly due to avoided burdens of virgin materials.
