To address this gap, the purpose is to investigate the direct role of biospheric values on GSCM and indirectly through generative concerns and environmental attitude. Moreover, the study examines the moderating role of generative leadership on these relationships. Based on the natural resource-based view (NRBV) theory, a theoretical framework is developed. A survey approach was adopted to collect 251 responses from employees working in public sector departments in Pakistan Hazara division. The Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) affirmed that biospheric values positively promote GSCM. Moreover, generative concern and environmental attitude play a mediating role between biospheric values and GSCM. Furthermore, generative leadership significantly moderates the relationship between biospheric values and GSCM, generative concerns, and environmental attitude. The study contributes to theory by extending NRBV to public sector sustainability practices and by highlighting generative concern and environmental attitude as critical mediators. It also establishes generative leadership as a key contextual enhancer. Practically, the findings suggest that embedding pro-environmental values and generative leadership can help public organizations to implement waste-reduction, sustainable supply chain and resource-efficiency strategies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100253,"journal":{"name":"Cleaner Logistics and Supply Chain","volume":"20 ","pages":"Article 100366"},"PeriodicalIF":6.8,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148934439","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examines how adopting a human-centric approach within SC 5.0, incorporating technologies such as Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), can optimize the distribution of mining equipment while addressing environmental concerns and fostering sustainable practices. Grounded in Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS) theory, this research conceptualizes mining equipment distribution as a socio-technical system characterized by dynamic interactions among technological, human, and environmental agents. This study employs a hybrid methodology based on CAS theory, integrating the Interval-Valued Pythagorean Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (IVPF-AHP) and the Interval-Valued Pythagorean Fuzzy Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (IVPF-DEMATEL). This hybrid fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) framework enables the modeling of uncertainty, interdependencies, and feedback loops among decision criteria inherent in mining distribution networks, while supporting causal analysis and prioritization. IVPF-AHP is employed to rank critical enablers across human-centric design, sustainability, and Distribution 5.0 dimensions, whereas IVPF-DEMATEL identifies causal relationships and influence intensity among these enablers. This method captures participants' interdependencies and dynamic behaviors within the mining equipment distribution ecosystem and identifies critical elements that influence efficiency and sustainability. The findings underscore the importance of digitalization, automation, ML, AI, eco-friendly logistics, and adaptive, sustainable supply chain strategies in optimizing the distribution of mining equipment. The results further reveal strong causal linkages between human-centric capabilities and technological adoption, reinforcing the relevance of CAS theory within the Industry 5.0 paradigm in emerging economy contexts.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100253,"journal":{"name":"Cleaner Logistics and Supply Chain","volume":"20 ","pages":"Article 100361"},"PeriodicalIF":6.8,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148854146","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It addresses how digital buyer exposure influences supplier commitment and whether racial dynamics moderate this relationship. Working from the assumption that the suppliers' commitment is critical to improving their livelihood, the paper contributes to how racial concerns can be mitigated in global socially responsible supply chains; this is an ignored field in SCM. By comparing farmers exposed to a buyer video with those in a control group, the experiment uses randomization and addresses confounding factors, such as the Hawthorne effect and parallel trends, to ensure the robustness of its findings. Findings reveal that digital buyer exposure significantly increases farmers' willingness to commit, while racial dynamics play a smaller but notable role in shaping initial perceptions. However, these dynamics do not significantly diminish the positive impact of digital exposure. This suggests that digital tools effectively foster early-stage supplier commitment and relational alignment between buyers and suppliers in regions where direct interactions are limited and where distrust between buyers and suppliers constrains suppliers' opportunities to leverage the potential advantages of becoming integrated into socially responsible supply chains. The study thereby contributes to the existing literature by demonstrating the potential of digital technology to strengthen supplier commitment and mitigate the negative effects of racial dynamics.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100253,"journal":{"name":"Cleaner Logistics and Supply Chain","volume":"20 ","pages":"Article 100363"},"PeriodicalIF":6.8,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148854145","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While scaling-up recycling of copper is important for meeting domestic demand, a number of active and emerging copper producers have announced new activities for expanding primary copper production. Generalized market and facility-level models representing mine energy and materials flows have been developed, but the potential future portfolio of mining supply is diverse and requires further characterization to support planning for supply chains and technology deployment. Herein, we present a dataset of mine projects, providing estimates of copper productivity by technology pathway. We review diesel, electricity, water, and tailing waste generation factors reported in literature and used in life-cycle assessment databases, highlighting inconsistencies and gaps where values do not represent primary production of copper in the United States, now and in the future. Using data reported between 2021 and 2026, we estimate 0.9 and 1.6 million tonnes/year of cathode-grade copper production from active and proposed mine projects, respectively. By gathering data from technical reports, we were able to reproduce domestic production reported most recently by the US Geological Survey. We find 21% of new Cu production is explicitly from leaching processes that avoid sending concentrate to offshore smelters. Our findings suggest limits to domestic smelter capacity will be a bottleneck for new projects generating conventional sulphide ore copper concentrate. Partnerships between mines and providers of key resources such as water, fuel, and electricity could have far reaching effects as copper mining expands beyond the Southwest where it holds an established industrial presence.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100253,"journal":{"name":"Cleaner Logistics and Supply Chain","volume":"19 ","pages":"Article 100343"},"PeriodicalIF":6.8,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148178502","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigates how Smart Packaging (SP) acts as a digital enabler to overcome these challenges and support the circular economy (CE) transition. Adopting an embedded case study approach, the research synthesizes empirical data from six Scandinavian manufacturers with expert insights from SP technology providers. The analysis identifies six core challenges hindering the adoption of circular packaging: material innovation resistance, supply chain redesign and complexity, financial uncertainties and cost implications of change, regulatory fragmentation and uncertainty, consumer resistance and behavior, and fragmented collaboration and stakeholder misalignment. The findings demonstrate that SP technologies address these hurdles by transforming packaging from passive containers into active and connected data interfaces. Specifically, SP facilitates the transition by enhancing end-to-end traceability, enabling data-driven compliance with emerging regulations, and facilitating information sharing between stakeholders. The study concludes that successful CE transition cannot rely on material innovation alone; it requires a parallel digital infrastructure and managerial systemic change. By reframing packaging as a dynamic boundary object, this research highlights how SP resolves trade-offs between logistics efficiency and circularity.
