Summary: The progress and adoption of digital technologies can quickly render products, processes, and business models obsolete, even disrupting entire markets. Small-medium enterprises (SMEs) in the manufacturing sector are particularly challenged due to limited resources and smallness liabilities. This article explores how SMEs can leverage digital servitization to escape from a disrupted market, proposing a tailored digital servitization model for SMEs. The study also offers research and managerial implications on how SMEs can overcome market disruption through digital servitization and business model innovation.

Summary: There is a consensus that digital technologies have the potential to support the implementation of a circular economy. However, the actual implementation and use of different digital technologies in various industries are lacking empirical insights. This study aims to fill this research gap by analyzing the use of digital technologies for circular economy and sustainability management in Austrian manufacturing companies. The findings reveal the current degree and stage of implementation for four key enabling digital technologies - Internet of Things, big data analytics, artificial intelligence, and blockchain technology. The study also identifies the specific applications of these technologies across different industries. Overall, the use of digital technologies in sustainability management is still limited, with most implementations in pilot phases. There are significant differences in digitalization and sustainability management practices between industries and company sizes. The study highlights the positive correlation between the implementation of digital technologies and their use in sustainability management. The findings provide valuable insights for developing strategies that leverage the benefits of digital technologies for sustainable practices.

Summary: The integration of corporate environmental responsibility in emerging economies is still insufficient due to the increasing irreversibility of climate change. This study aims to understand the combinational effect of factors that determine high allocation of monetary resources to environmental issues in firms and the role of digital transformation in the era of Industry 4.0. A comparative analysis of two representative Latin American emerging economies was conducted, considering the external context of companies. The results show that small firms in less competitive countries prioritize value creation for high environmental expenditures, while large firms in highly competitive countries focus on enhancing legitimacy and external image.

Summary: In order to achieve sustainable development, the United Nations has set 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to be achieved by 2030. This paper presents a novel interdisciplinary approach using big data from Twitter to analyze firms' engagement with SDGs. The results show that the social dimension is predominant and the attention to different SDGs themes varies depending on the community and sector firms belong to. The paper has theoretical contributions and practical implications for firms, policymakers, and management education.

Summary: In recent years, attention has been focused on sustainable development goals in the private sectors and industries for a better and more sustainable future. However, there has been very little research on sustainable solutions for the construction industry, despite its significant impact on sustainable development. This study introduces a hybrid multi-criteria decision-making methodology that integrates various methods with intuitionistic fuzzy set to assess sustainable industrial buildings. A case study is presented to demonstrate the superiority and practicality of this methodology.

Summary: Biofuels are being promoted as a sustainable alternative for transportation and economic development, and location selection for biofuel production plant is a major concern. This study proposes a new decision-making methodology based on the WASPAS approach and similarity measure with picture fuzzy information to address the uncertainty in the selection process. The proposed methodology effectively handles uncertain information and qualitative data, and allows policymakers to identify the most desirable location for a biofuel production plant considering social, environmental, and economic aspects of sustainability.

Summary: This study uses open-source big data to assess the progress of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 254 Chinese cities and compares the results with those obtained using statistical data. The findings suggest that big data is a promising alternative for tracking the overall SDG progress of cities, including those lacking relevant statistical data. The analysis reveals that smaller Chinese cities have lower SDG Index scores, indicating the need to improve SDG progress in small and medium cities for more balanced sustainability.

Summary: This paper discusses the synergistic implementation of Circular Economy (CE) and Industry 4.0 (I4.0) in industrial contexts and its impact on Supply Chain (SC) efficiency and competitiveness. A systematic literature review is conducted to investigate and systematize the knowledge around circular SC enabled by CE and I4.0. The study identifies the major trends in terms of contribution type, LC phases, I4.0 technologies, Triple Bottom Line (TBL) layers, CE strategies, and SC typologies. The results show a predominance of economic and environmental aspects in sustainability, a prevalence of internet of things, big data analytics, and cloud technologies in I4.0, and a focus on reuse-recycle-remanufacturing, waste management, and material/energy efficiency in CE strategies. The paper contributes to building an integrated knowledge of the threefold research context and provides a theoretical framework for practitioners to approach the transition to circular SC.

Summary: Adopting a circular economy has become a popular approach for promoting sustainable development, but there are many challenges to its implementation. Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have been proposed as solutions, but their practicality in the context of circular economy is questioned. This paper reviews the challenges and investigates the limitations of ICT solutions. Blockchain and smart contract technologies show promise but also have limitations. The study highlights the potential of a circular economy blockchain for improving trust and transparency in supply chains and governance.

Summary: Industrial symbiosis-based collaborations are more prevalent in developed regions and larger industries, while less focused in developing regions and small- to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). A study in Pakistan explores the potential for symbiotic collaborations among SMEs and finds that most collaborations are bilateral and driven by economic gains. However, informal networks of recyclers and a lack of a stringent regulatory regime hinder formal/informal exchanges between firms. Additionally, lack of awareness and inconsistent supply of by-products act as barriers for such partnerships in developing countries. Proactive engagements and facilitations from state institutions are needed to overcome these barriers.

Summary: This study compares the sustainability of two recycling treatments of fluorescent powders for recovering rare earths, showing the advantages of secondary production of rare earth oxides in terms of environmental and economic aspects. Process A, with the preliminary removal of mercury, was found to have the highest recovery rate and the lowest hazardous waste level. Labor and electric energy are the main costs in both processes, with the sensitivity analysis showing that the plant's capacity affects the net profit. The prices of rare earths are the key factor influencing economic feasibility.
