In the study, the 30 most frequently prepared lunch menus of a catering company serving mostly factory workers were examined. Nutritional values were calculated using national and international food composition databases, while water and carbon footprints were assessed using established literature benchmarks. The results revealed that main dishes, particularly those based on animal protein, exhibited the highest energy and protein levels alongside the largest water and carbon footprints. Moreover, the findings showed that the main dishes in the evaluated menus exhibited the highest water footprint (1056.85 L/serving) and carbon footprint (1592.6 g CO2e/serving), reflecting the resource-intensive nature of animal-based protein production. Fat was the major macronutrient, contributing 44.46% of total energy intake. In addition, the menus had 57.84% of daily protein needs. It was determined that the average calorie intake and carbon footprint impact of the menus were quite strong. On the other hand, positive correlations were determined between water footprint, carbon footprint, and protein and energy content of the menus. These results indicated the need for sustainable menu design, especially the use of plant-based protein alternatives, to provide both balanced nutrition and reduce environmental impacts.","PeriodicalId":16050,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Industrial Ecology","volume":"29 3","pages":"1013-1021"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jiec.70035","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144256557","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite its wide use in assessing mature technologies, the inventory data gap has been a fundamental challenge that limits the application of LCA to emerging new processes. Machine learning (ML) methods are among the possible solutions that can mitigate these data gaps in an automated and scalable way. Nonetheless, the performance of existing ML methods is unstable which limits the trustworthiness and generalizability of the models. In this study, we conducted a data-centric investigation to delineate the causes of the unstable performance using a similarity-based ML framework based on Ecoinvent 3.1 unit process (UPR) database. We found that the pattern of imbalance in the data for method development, manifest by the substantial differences in (1) flow and process availability and (2) the order of magnitude of their values, is a major cause of the unstable performance. We also identified the causes due to the challenges with ML method development workflow, particularly, the steps of data preprocessing, and ML model training (e.g., randomness in train–test data splits). In addition, we also tested the proposed ML method on the U.S. Life Cycle Inventory Database, where we observed that the generalizability of the method was highly influenced by the database size of the application. To address these issues, we proposed that further research should focus on reducing the barriers in database integration such that both the size and balance of the data for ML method development can be improved.","PeriodicalId":16050,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Industrial Ecology","volume":"29 3","pages":"955-966"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jiec.70022","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144256445","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since start-ups do not suffer from being locked into linear business models or overcoming organizational inertia, they play a key role in this transition. However, circular start-ups face many challenges, both in general and specifically related to circular business models. Here, incubators can offer assistance and support, facilitating the establishment and early growth of start-ups, but exactly how this should be done remains an area where little prior research has been done. Because of this, this study analyzed three university-led incubators spread across different institutes of national importance in India. Results showed that while incubators did offer a variety of support functions to start-ups, they did not offer any specific support to circular start-ups, nor any support aimed at helping regular start-ups become more circular. Both the support functions of the incubators and the needs of the circular start-ups are detailed in the results. Furthermore, the competence and knowledge levels regarding the circular economy were found to be low. To help further improve incubators within this area, several recommendations were made, including developing tailored support functions for circular start-ups in collaboration with university faculty, establishing incubators that specialize in supporting circular start-ups, and integrating activities related to understanding and fostering the circular economy in their regular incubation processes.","PeriodicalId":16050,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Industrial Ecology","volume":"29 3","pages":"997-1012"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jiec.70032","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144256422","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With the enlarging climate change impact, a detailed exploration of the interplay between low-speed transportation and environmental elements is crucial yet seldom investigated spatially. Harnessing high-resolution origin–destination (OD) data with both spatial and temporal granularity, we construct an exceptionally precise predictive model with 88.29% accuracy. This model unravels the relationship leveraging environmental data from satellite data between January 2019 and December 2020. This study pioneers the use of Shapley additive explanation and geographically weighted panel regression to interpret extreme gradient boosting findings and spatial variability in OD data. Our analysis reveals an intriguing dichotomy: urban areas experience a decline in low-speed transportation with rising temperatures, while a positive correlation surfaces in rural regions. On average, a 1°C increase in temperature correlates to a significant reduction of 466,851 person time in low-speed transportation in Tokyo, Japan. We also identify that other environmental factors, including air pressure, wind speed, and so on, exert spatially varying impacts on low-speed transportation. Altogether, this study furnishes robust empirical evidence of the environmental effects on human mobility, presenting valuable insights for academics, policymakers, and society at large.","PeriodicalId":16050,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Industrial Ecology","volume":"29 3","pages":"982-996"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144256470","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At the same time, resources lay at the heart of many environmental problems. A sustainable resource use facilitates development but reduces environmental problems. This apparent contradiction can be solved by moving toward a circular economy: keeping resources, once extracted, in use for as long as possible. The services fulfilled by the in-use stocks of resources can thus be maintained or even increased, while the inflow of virgin materials into the stocks can be reduced. In this view, society's material basis shifts from geological mines to urban mines: materials locked in products and infrastructures presently used by societies. Although very important, the information on such urban mines is scarce. In this paper, we present the results of an inventory of the urban mine of the Netherlands. We assessed 86 categories of applications, both products and infrastructures, and 53 different materials. The Dutch urban mine adds up to 447 tonnes of materials per inhabitant, mostly construction materials. The inventory can be regarded as a pilot project. It indicates an approach for assessing the urban mine and how to standardize such an effort. It can also be seen as a first estimate of what we collectively have to work with to realize a circular economy. The overall conclusion is that the urban mine is of considerable size and could be a major source of materials but it will take a considerable time and some major changes in the organization to realize that.","PeriodicalId":16050,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Industrial Ecology","volume":"29 3","pages":"967-981"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jiec.70030","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144256446","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recycling and reuse of electronic waste not only helps alleviate China's heavy reliance on mineral resources but also contributes to carbon emission reduction and achieving carbon neutrality. In this regard, we have showcased the future potential for utilizing 10 types valuable bulk materials and rare metals under three recycling scenarios, as well as the corresponding carbon emission reduction outcomes, through developing an integrated assessment model toward waste recycling. The results indicate that with an increase in recycling rates, these materials can be formed into closed loops increasingly. By 2060, under the low-recycling scenario, recycled resources can provide an average of 85% of raw materials for production. Under the medium recovery scenario, platinum and vanadium will form a closed production loop, while under the high-recycling scenario, recycled resources can provide over 95% of raw materials for production, and in addition, plastics and palladium can also form closed loops. Further, 479.65 million, 538.64 million, and 586.08 million tonnes CO2 can be reduced by 2060 in the three recycling scenarios. This study provides policy implications of improving the recycling rate of electronic waste especially in developing countries, in order to promote their sustainable economic development and resource supply.","PeriodicalId":16050,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Industrial Ecology","volume":"29 3","pages":"924-936"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144255847","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
