Aims and Scope
The pursuit of sustainability and the transition towards a circular economy have become increasingly vital in today's world. With mounting environmental challenges and the urgent need to minimize resource consumption and waste generation, the integration of sustainable practices and circularity principles into various industries and sectors has gained significant attention. However, achieving these ambitious goals requires robust decision-making processes that can navigate complex trade-offs and identify optimal strategies to promote sustainable and circular practices.
This special issue aims to delve into the role of decision-making tools in advancing sustainability and circular economy principles across diverse domains. By examining the intersection of sustainability, circularity, and decision-making, this collection of articles brings together cutting-edge research, practical applications, and innovative methodologies that shed light on the challenges and opportunities in this emerging field. This special issue invites contributions from scholars, researchers, and practitioners to explore the application, development, and evaluation of decision-making tools in the context of sustainability and circular economy. The aim is to foster a comprehensive understanding of how these tools can be harnessed to address pressing challenges, identify potential barriers, and unlock opportunities for achieving sustainability goals while promoting circularity.
