Many of these efforts employ Environmentally Extended Input-Output Analysis (EEIOA), which integrates environmental and material considerations into supply chain analyses. Despite the growing body of research combining PBs and EEIOA, the research is dispersed across various studies and disciplines, necessitating a systematic synthesis to consolidate findings, identify gaps, and guide future research. To address this need, we conducted a systematic literature review focusing on research that integrates the PB framework with EEIOA. Our aim was to answer several key questions, including: What are the most common methodological choices used in studies combining PBs and EEIOA? How has EEIOA informed policy decisions related to living within PBs? Using Scopus and Web of Science, we conducted a comprehensive search covering publications from January 2009 to April 2024. Our review revealed four main methodological frameworks in the literature: “footprint v/s allocated PB”, “exceedance footprint”, “scenario analysis”, and “optimisation modelling”. Climate change emerged as the most extensively studied PB, followed by land-system change, freshwater use, nitrogen flows, and phosphorus flows. Policy guidance was central in 50 % of the studies, with 61 % following a responsibility narrative, 15 % human well-being, and 9 % examining socio-economic implications. This review provides critical insights into the intersection of PB and IOA, highlighting methodological trends and gaps. By synthesizing findings, it advances the integration of these frameworks, supporting their application in sustainable consumption policies and broader environmental strategies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48619,"journal":{"name":"Sustainable Production and Consumption","volume":"56 ","pages":"Pages 546-560"},"PeriodicalIF":10.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143899093","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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}

Considering Japan's carbon neutrality goals, a shift to renewable energy could reduce the environmental impacts of global warming potential and fossil fuel consumption of tomato production in VF by up to 50 %. Combining LED upgrades with renewable energy could reduce the environmental impacts by 60 %, making tomato production in VF competitive with tomato production in high-tech greenhouse and lettuce production in VF in terms of sustainability.

This study aims to comprehensively evaluate the environmental, economic, and technological trade-offs of nine textile waste recovery technologies for waste cotton, polyester, polyester-cotton blends, and mixed textile waste in China. By integrating life cycle assessment, life cycle costing, and the VlseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje method, this study provides a methodology framework to balance conflicting objectives. The results showed that chemical recovery led to higher costs but made greater revenue, whereas mechanical and physical recovery demonstrated higher technological maturity and material retention, with lower energy consumption and waste generation. In addition, mechanical and physical recovery achieved the most significant reductions in global warming potential, energy consumption, human health damage, and resource consumption. Based on environmental, economic, and technological trade-offs, it is hold that mechanical recovery is the most balanced option for waste cotton, physical recovery is the more stable solution for waste polyester, refuse derived fuel (RDF) production is the optimal choice for mixed textile waste, and chemical recovery is more suitable for polyester-cotton. These findings suggest that optimizing textile waste recovery in China could annually save of approximately 25 million tons of CO₂ emissions, 1 billion cubic meters of fresh water, and 23 thousand tons of fossil fuel. The important implications are that a refined recycling network and material flow should be set up for all kinds of textile wastes, and RDF standards should be established in China and regulate the usage ratio in energy facilities and cement plants, so as to enhance mixed textile waste recovery.

Twenty-four actors were interviewed, representing different types of market actors, which enabled differences between actors to be identified. For example, producers emphasized economic and market-related barriers, while users addressed uncertainties related to the supply chain and quality requirements. Among the key barriers identified are an uncertain policy landscape, as well as economic and market-related barriers that hinder bio-CO₂ utilization. Improving environmental performance is identified as a key driver for bio-CO₂ utilization but requires overcoming barriers such as high costs and payback requirements to become enacted. Other identified key drivers are the potential for new market opportunities for CO₂, such as e-fuel production, and an increased interest in bio-CO₂ over its fossil-based counterpart. There is a need for a diverse set of actions to support the development of the bio-CO₂ market, such as long-term, stable policies and regulations that support investment and market creation, along with better coordination among governmental organizations. This study thus contributes a holistic perspective on the prerequisites for bio-CO₂ utilization by exploring barriers and drivers for bio-CO₂ from different market actor perspectives and identifying policy implications, using Sweden as a case study.

The methodological design of this study follows a systematic approach to theory building, incorporating an analysis of current CE policy formulation as formalised in roadmaps and CE indicators. Our work results in a ‘nexus of circulation’ conceptualization, which identifies 8 distinct linkages through which circular economy initiatives interact and impact each other across systems of provision. We show how such linkages can act as conduits for acceleration or for slowing down the circular transition in an economy. The results also provide evidence showing that the identified linkages are not at the heart of current policy making for CE, as they are reflected at best partially in CE indicators and CE roadmaps. We conclude that this likely results in limiting the scope of circular interventions, resulting in unintended negative consequences elsewhere in the economy, or in the economy as a whole. The proposed ‘nexus of circulation’ conceptualisation has been purposefully designed from a policy design perspective, so that it helps societal stakeholders to recognize leverage points across systems of provision in a way that enables active policy making towards accelerating the circular transition and helping to eliminate obstacles that block this transition.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48619,"journal":{"name":"Sustainable Production and Consumption","volume":"56 ","pages":"Pages 408-419"},"PeriodicalIF":10.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143842638","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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}
