“…Supply chain collaborations and combined risk assessments are foundational tools to initiate change from linear to CE (Miemczyk and Luzzini, 2019). Reducing waste by reusing materials in production is a competitive competency that significantly reduces both energy consumption and extraction of raw materials from nature (Rajala et al, 2019;Brockhaus et al, 2019) contributing real cost savings for companies (Li et al, 2022;Noakes, 2021;Routray, 2022). For example, the CE approach in Europe is expected to contribute V1.8 trillion of economic development by 2030, twice the current V0.9 trillion, and reduce CO2 emission by 48% by 2030, and up to 83% by 2050 (Ellen MacArthur Foundation, 2015;Lewandowski, 2016).…”

PurposeThe paper aims to provide managerial recommendations for implementing circular economy (CE) principles in both organizational and interorganizational contexts, including when using digital tools, such as building information modeling (BIM) and blockchain. Drawn from the construction sector in the Netherlands, the findings can be generalized to similar sectors where a company may receive multiple inputs as part of its supply chain augmented by digital technologies.Design/methodology/approachDesign addresses the research question: what are the strategic and tactical approaches of organizations on the CE pathway? Sub-questions target initiatives pursued by participants, and look toward information, roles and functions for supporting the CE process. Applying a multiple-case study approach (21 semi-structured interviews with 29 participants) the paper explores strategic initiatives of construction companies implementing CE pathways. The strength of the research design comes from facilitation of rich and deep qualitative insights from Netherlands-based managers embedded within global supply chains contributing to conceptual mapping. A limitation is data from one country (though representing both national and multinational companies).FindingsInterviewed managers share guidance for production-related construction companies anchored in materials and product design. Recommendations include to (1) develop both internally and externally the awareness of CE amongst leaders, (2) communicate with internal and external stakeholders for shared vision across the supply chain, (3) start with pilot projects, and (4) ensure product data-integration for CE business models through computer modeling and blockchain for decision-making processes, choices of materials, business model coordination and product (re)design. Continuous learning about CE roles and responsibilities amidst organizational process restructuring is required throughout linear to CE transitions. Extending the time for the CE principles evaluation process would allow for reconsideration of decisions made for CE implemented projects.Originality/valueA novel CE gameplan with a hurdles and recommendations checklist provides an operational interface with decision making points between internal factors for the host organization and external supply chain partners.

“…A green economy can also be interpreted as an activity that is low in carbon, utilizes resources efficiently, and is socially inclusive (Martawardaya, Rakatama, Junifta, & Maharani, 2022). The green economy concept covers a broad scope and is a new paradigm in economic development that replaces environmental policies which in the past were often focused on shortterm solutions (Li, Song, Cai, Bian, & Mohammed, 2022). The green economy approach is a win-win solution in ending the endless debates of policymakers around "environmental conservation" and "economic growth".…”

This study tries to ascertain how certain aspects of the green economy perspective relate to Malaysian economic growth using the variables of CO2 emissions, renewable energy consumption, and life expectancy which are representations of social welfare in Malaysia. We take data from the World Bank as a secondary source for the years 2000 to 2020, From our estimation results, We find that the variables we estimate have long-term and short-term correlations such as economic growth and life expectancy and economic growth with renewable energy consumption, and short-term economic expansion has a detrimental impact on life expectancy. However, the use of renewable energy is significantly correlated with economic expansion. This shows that between the two variables, with increasing economic growth, life expectancy will actually decrease, although this occurs in the short term, furthermore with increasing consumption of renewable energy will also increase economic growth in Malaysia.

“…Economic growth is a long-term economic problem and always occurs in every country (Widarni & Bawono, 2022). Economic development to increase economic growth is closely related to the exploitation of natural resources and the environment (Li, Song, Cai, Bian, & Mohammed, 2022). Continued exploitation of the environment and nature without regard to environmental conditions can cause damage to the environment.…”

This study tries to find out how the long-term and short-term relationship between several variables related to economic growth such as CO2 emissions, internet literacy, and education in Cambodia. We use the World Bank as a supplementary source for statistics data, namely data from 2000 to 2020. We learn from our estimating findings that the elements we predicted, including economic development and internet literacy, have both long- and short-term associations, as well as economic growth and education, which in the short term internet literacy has a significant positive effect on economic growth. In line with that, the level of education also has a significant positive effect on economic growth. In contrast to the statistically significant inverse association between the economic growth variable for this year and the economic growth for the prior year, there is also a relationship between co2 emissions and economic growth. This shows that increasing internet literacy, in the short and long term will also increase economic growth, as well as education levels. In contrast, CO2 emissions have an inverse correlation with the gross domestic product which represents economic growth in Cambodia.
