TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed a systematic literature review to identify how the CE-I4.0 nexus, the combination of CE practices and Industry 4.0 technologies, could contribute to achieving the SDG.

TL;DR: It is argued that the analyzed indicators mainly focus on material and resource recirculation and lack robustness to assess the sustainability performance of circular systems, so future research could analyze the integration of the investigated indicators with consolidated methodologies to overcome the barrier of combining circularity and sustainability performance.

TL;DR: In this article, a real case from a production system aligned with circular economy principles is analyzed, where the manufacturing of baseboards made of recycled Expanded Polystyrene (EPS), obtained from an extensive reverse logistics system composed of different recycling processes.

TL;DR: In this article, the potential impacts of the configuration of the Brazilian energy mix in the years 2005, 2010, 2018, 2020 and 2030 were evaluated through Life Cycle Assessment, employing the OpenLCA 1.9.0 software, and based on the ecoinvent 3.5 database alongside literature data.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors performed a combined circularity and organizational life cycle assessment (OLCA) of a certified zero-waste vegan restaurant in Brazil, and the results showed that avoiding meat and dairy, procuring agro-ecological food options, and implementing practices such as reuse, recycling, and composting directly improve the overall circularity of the system.
