“…The waste component is very important in the environmental dimension of sustainability, just as the environmental dimension is an essential component of corporate social responsibility [ 13 ] because it concerns the impact of companies on living and non-living natural systems, water, land, air, and ecosystems [ 12 ]. Most research has considered environmental aspects [ 1 , 5 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 ], but few have focused their attention on waste [ 4 , 27 , 28 ].…”

“…The management of materials and waste is a problem that encompasses at the level of the business’ organization of different units and departments, as well as operational cycles, and from the perspective of resources flow, various organizations and companies interact in their handling to recycle the materials resulting from the stages of the resource recovery process [ 27 ]. The objective of the reporting company is that replacing these primary resources with waste leads to a safe path to sustainable development [ 28 ].…”

The current challenges of a circular economy exert a high pressure on manufacturing companies that generate waste to track and implement policies to reduce them and eliminate the toxicity of residues. Hence, the purpose of this study is to analyze the waste management information disclosure linked to the financial performance of companies and test the moderating effect of internal and external variables. The average waste management information disclosure index shows a poor disclosure score for the analyzed period, however, the waste disclosure index after reaching a minimum threshold in 2019 recorded an encouraging increase at the end of 2021. Applying the fixed effects model, ordinary least squares, and two-stage least squares method, the results revealed a positive and statistically significant relationship between management information disclosure and the return on assets, while for the current ratio the connection has been invalidated. A statistically significant influence of the environmental-sensitive industry status, board size, and productivity on the moderating variables was found for the return on assets, while for current ratio, there was none. As for the alternative metrics of financial performance, the results showed that a higher degree of management information disclosure will increase the return on equity and earnings per share, while in the case of liquidity, the results are not conclusive.

“…A lot of research in the field of circular construction has focussed on materials recycling (Akanbi et al, 2018;Gálvez-Martos et al, 2018;Ghisellini et al, 2018aGhisellini et al, , 2018bHuang et al, 2018;Ibrahim, 2016;Jiménez-Rivero and García-Navarro, 2017;Mulder et al, 2007;Nußholz and Milios, 2017) or more explicitly recycling through reverse logistics (Ahmed and Zhang, 2021;Chileshe et al, 2018;Hammes et al, 2020;Li et al, 2018;Wijewickrama et al, 2021). Improving the environmental profile of construction materials and components through the incorporation of waste streams from other production processes has also gained attention (Asim et al, 2021;Carvalho et al, 2014;Marvila et al, 2021;Mendes et al, 2019;Mohan et al, 2021). However, the reuse of construction components is considered as a higher value process in a CE and is of particular importance, because it is environmentally more beneficial than recycling materials (Assefa and Ambler, 2017;Barriball and While, 1994;Cruz Rios et al, 2019;Joensuu et al, 2022;Xia et al, 2020).…”

Stakeholder perceptions on implementing design for disassembly and standardisation for heterogeneous construction components

et al. 2023

The reuse of construction components is considered as a higher value process in a Circular Economy (CE) than recycling. However, this is not yet widely adopted as many barriers still prevent the successful integration of the concept. The ISO20887 standard advocates that the implementation of construction standards will benefit circular reuse. Yet, these standards still need to be developed. To better understand the views of the construction sector, a survey was sent to the network of the Green Deal on Circular Construction (GDCC), led by Circular Flanders. The survey (number of recipients = 629, response rate = 16%) investigates the current implementation of Design for Disassembly and the reuse of construction components. Additionally, it investigates the respondents’ view on how a further morphological standardisation of components and connections, as well as standardisation of procedures can facilitate this reuse of construction components. The result is a concrete set of action points and corresponding actors who need to take responsibility. The stakeholders point out that there is no legal framework for component reuse. Yet, this framework can only be created through their largescale cooperation to create the needed construction standards that will truly enable the circular reuse of components.

“…Oily sludge (OS) is a type of solid waste generated by oil extraction, refining, storage, and transportation [ 1 ]. It is classified into landing oil sludge, oil-based drilling chips, refining/chemical sludge, and bin/tank bottom oil sludge [ 2 ]. Oily sludge is a stable water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion system composed of water, solids, petroleum hydrocarbons (PHCs), and metal ions [ 3 ].…”

The treatment of oily sludge (OS) can not only effectively solve environmental pollution but also contribute to the efficient use of energy. In this study, the separation effect of OS was analyzed through sodium lignosulfonate (SL)-assisted sodium persulfate (S/D) treatment. The effects of SL concentration, pH, temperature, solid–liquid ratio, revolving speed, and time on SL adsorption solubilization were analyzed. The effects of sodium persulfate dosage, demulsification temperature, and demulsification time on sodium persulfate oxidative demulsification were analyzed. The oil removal efficiency was as high as 91.28%. The results showed that the sediment was uniformly and finely distributed in the S/D-treated OS. The contact angle of the sediment surface was 40°, and the initial apparent viscosity of the OS was 56 Pa·s. First, the saturated hydrocarbons and aromatic hydrocarbons on the sediment surface were adsorbed by the monolayer adsorption on SL. Stubborn, cohesive oil agglomerates were dissociated. Sulfate radical anion (SO4−·) with a high oxidation potential, was formed from sodium persulfate. The oxidation reaction occurred between SO4−· and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. A good three-phase separation effect was attained. The oil recovery reached 89.65%. This provides theoretical support for the efficient clean separation of oily sludge.
