“…The numbers of employees in the textile and clothing industry in Finland, Sweden and Norway related to year 2020 can be seen in igure 7 below. In the light of the data in table 2, and igures 6 and 7, it is obvious that the value chain of textiles was one of the prioritised areas identi ied in the Nordic Council of Ministers' large study on circular transition potential, 2020-22 (Luoma et al, 2021) and subsequently also chosen as scope for the present work. Textiles are explicitly mentioned as focus areas of national priorities for Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Åland as well as for the European Union (See e.g., European Environmental Agency, 2023b).…”

“…In European Union, a target for recycling 75% of packaging waste by 2030 [17] is taken into action. This target will not only reduce the waste but also will protect the environment, specifically in Nordic countries, with the aim of inspiring the most valuable insight to the dynamics of circularity and the impacts on climate, environment and social economy [18]. In North America, Canada announced the key strategies of implementing circular economy including product life extension, circular supply chains and sharing platforms and services [19].…”

Designing a Framework for Materials Flow by Integrating Circular Economy Principles with End-of-Life Management Strategies

et al. 2022

Circular economy is an upward trending notion that has drawn worldwide attention of policymakers, industry administrators, environmentalist as well as academic researchers. Though there are several tools developed for monitoring the material recovery, a very few number of research have been conducted to integrate circular economy principles with end-of-life (EOL) management strategies. This paper proposes an EOL-driven circular economy framework for the management of materials flow so as to extend the lifetime of materials through improved durability as well as to provide more social, economic and environmental benefits through less material waste. A case study from the agricultural waste industry is presented in order to test the model and validate its performance. The results show that the proposed framework has a good potential for small and medium enterprises (SME) advances.
