“…En las últimas décadas, ha habido un interés en comenzar a aplicar el termino ec, y cómo éste puede afectar la sociedad, la economía y el ambiente (Tsironis y Tsagarakis, 2023). La economía circular surge con una oposición a la economía lineal, es decir, aquella que genera bienes a partir de la materia prima y, una vez que son consumidos, son transformados en residuos y no vuelven a tener valor alguno.…”

La economía circular (EC) es un modelo que se contrapone a la economía lineal y busca desacelerar la extracción de materias primas y disposición final de materiales. Para una transición exitosa hacia la EC en México, se necesita adaptarla a la cultura mexicana, establecer sus características, los pasos y las etapas, así como las métricas de la circularidad propias al contexto nacional, establecer el nivel de circularidad que se tiene hoy en día y su proyección a futuro. A nivel internacional cada país ha adaptado el concepto de EC a su contexto teniendo diferentes conceptualizaciones de la EC. México necesita definir la EC que más se adapte a sus características y necesidades. El desafío de establecer la transición hacía una EC en México es importante, ya que requiere de un cambio sistemático y del involucramiento de diversos actores. El presente libro tiene el objetivo de acercarse lo más posible a la conceptualización de EC mexicana.

“…Consequently, there is a wide range of published works on LinkedIn data focused on different research topics. Previous studies utilize LinkedIn data for business analysis on a European Union and global level, investigating the Circular Economy on a general (Tsironis et al, 2022) or specific industry sector level (Tsironis and Tsagarakis, 2023). A similar analysis has been conducted by Knäble and Tsagarakis (2023), mapping the Circular Economy sector in Germany by analyzing data from every affiliated company's LinkedIn profile.…”

“…As discussed already, transportation is a crucial business sector with high economic growth and environmental impact. In this context, we applied an existing methodology used for the circular economy mapping (Tsironis et al, 2022;Tsironis and Tsagarakis, 2023), on the "transportation" related companies with more than 200 employees based on their LinkedIn profiles. Thus, this work focuses on large SMEs and big enterprises, which usually have more resources to adapt or shift toward sustainable practices.…”

“…The staff on LinkedIn affiliated with the company profiles indicates an active alignment with its mission. The number of followers shows the social impact of the companies (Tsironis and Tsagarakis, 2023) and is an output of profile information and staff activity. The descriptive statistics of the number of followers for each cluster give an overview of the social-business impact of the studied companies (Table 3).…”

Sustainability has been a topic of growing interest over the past years with many governments, organizations, and companies trying to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. The major challenge of implementing more sustainable practices within the corporate environments is still in the foreground, probably even in higher demand, due to the intense environmental degradation and the strict deadlines related to the decarbonization and shift towards greener production systems. Indicatively, the European Commission suggests that transport currently accounts for a quarter of the European Union’s (EU) greenhouse gas emissions and this figure continues to rise as demand grows. In this work, we investigate the transportation sector, distribution systems, and supply chain through the prism of sustainability by mining and analyzing open-access data on the LinkedIn social media platform, which is widely used for professional networking, especially, in the European market. Thus, we extract valuable insights into the current trends around sustainability within the transportation sector. More precisely, 1,638 LinkedIn profiles registered as “companies” related to transportation have been data mined providing valuable outputs regarding their sustainability-oriented activities. Our dataset contains companies with a staff range of over 200 employees, aiming to gain insights from medium SMEs and large organizations. Key findings of our analysis include the differentiation of application areas regarding sustainable concepts and the rise of the percentage of sustainability-related companies with the company staff size combined with a rather strong connection between the United Kingdom’s and United States’s transportation sectors.

“…Hence, the principle of circular economy is being applied to the fashion and textile industries as well [1]. Tsironis and Tsagarakis proposed a circular economy in the fashion and textile industries from the social media point of view [61]. Saccani et al [62] in their paper suggested a circular supply chain orchestration strategy in order to comprehend responses to circular economy adoption hurdles in the textile and fashion supply chains.…”

How Effective Is Reverse Cross-Docking and Carbon Policies in Controlling Carbon Emission from the Fashion Industry?

et al. 2023

The present consumer behavior is manipulated by “fast fashion”, where purchasing new, trendy, affordable clothes is preferred over recycling old ones. This changing mannerism has escalated the GHG emissions from the fashion industry. Energy-intensive raw material production, preparation, and processing contribute to considerable emissions. The management of the returned goods from the primary market and further processing through the secondary outlets indulge in reverse logistics. In this paper, efforts are made to minimize the total cost and the carbon emission amount during the process of managing the return articles from the primary market to the reverse distribution center, further processing of the articles at the secondary outlet, and the return of the unsold or excess articles from the secondary outlet. Reverse cross-docking has been implemented in managing the return articles, while environmental concerns over GHG emissions have been addressed by investing in green technology under a strict carbon cap policy. In this research, return articles from the primary and secondary markets, rework of the returned articles, and disposal of the impaired returned articles have been considered. The carbon emission cost at all stages of transportation, rework, or disposal has also been incorporated into this model. A constrained mixed integer linear programming model is proposed and solved considering green investment. A numerical example has been formulated to investigate the effect of green technology on the total cost. The results portray that, though the total cost increases by nearly 2% due to investment in green technology, it ensures a considerable drop of 23% in the carbon emission amount. Also, the result is successful in establishing that reverse cross-docking is a better option than traditional warehousing in terms of minimizing the cost.
