Focus and Scope

The journal considers manuscripts in the following areas:

• Circular economy theory and implementation
• Resource efficiency and material productivity
• Waste prevention, reuse, recycling, and recovery
• Industrial ecology and industrial symbiosis
• Cleaner production and eco-efficiency
• Life-cycle thinking and life-cycle assessment
• Sustainable supply chains and reverse logistics
• Circular business models and innovation
• Renewable resources and low-carbon systems
• Sustainable consumption and behavior
• Environmental policy, regulation, and governance
• Digital technologies enabling circularity

Interdisciplinary manuscripts are welcome when the contribution is clearly anchored in the journal's principal field. Manuscripts that are primarily outside the scope, are purely descriptive without scholarly contribution, or lack adequate methodological or analytical rigor may be declined during editorial screening.
