“…Circular Economy aims to achieve a better balance between societal, environmental and economic activities by increasing resources efficiency and waste reduction (Ghisellini et al, 2016;Sehnem et al, 2019;Velentuf and Jopson, 2019). To achieve these complementary goals newmore circularbusiness models need to be developed (Velenturf and Jopson, 2019).…”

“…To achieve these complementary goals newmore circularbusiness models need to be developed (Velenturf and Jopson, 2019). Sehnem et al (2019), who conducted a study based on the maturity levels of sustainable business models in Brazil, listed about 12 different circular business models and approaches. Despite that most of these circular business models were classified as 'managed', organisations still need time to institutionalise and optimise their processes (Sehnem et al, 2019).…”

“…Sehnem et al (2019), who conducted a study based on the maturity levels of sustainable business models in Brazil, listed about 12 different circular business models and approaches. Despite that most of these circular business models were classified as 'managed', organisations still need time to institutionalise and optimise their processes (Sehnem et al, 2019). This is in alignment with recent calls for a stronger support towards business models fostering the idea of resource recovery and valorisation, which shows that these models support multidimensional growth.…”

“…Waste-to-resource innovation can be interpreted as innovative process, emerging out of the school of Industrial Symbiosis. The process itself, is based on converting an organisation's by-products, residue, or waste, into energy (Garcia-Garcia et al, 2019;Gitelmann et al, 2019;Sehnem et al, 2019;Zeller et al, 2019), valuable material or product for another organisation, in the same or different industries (Kabongo, 2013;Sposato et al, 2017;Velenturf, 2016). Since this waste-to-resource innovation process can be applied in both the organic and inorganic loops of Circular Economy, we use the wording of Waste Valorisation model.…”

“…Existing literature shows mostly within subject-specific contributions what options are possible within Waste Valorisation models. However, those options are often restricted towards chemical and bioorganic examples, respectively food waste valorisation (Knaur et al, 2018;Sehnem et al, 2019).…”

The present trend towards greener and less-waste intensive production methods, has started to establish the idea of a Circular Economy. However, in achieving circularity, obstacles need to be overcome and new business models need to be developed. One of these business model is Waste Valorisation. Waste Valorisation focuses on the transformation of alleged waste, by-products or residue into valuable material. This paper aims to establish the current view on Waste Valorisation models and explore any influential factors within this circular business model through the lens of social capital theory. The findings are based on a focus group discussion with academics, practitioners, and policy makers. Results indicate, collaborative aspects aid to create value within this specific business model, as well as technology can act as a facilitator for collaboration between stakeholders in realizing the benefits of Waste Valorisation model. Based on the findings, a theoretical framework was developed which can be used as a guide to develop further research on waste valorization.

Pathways towards sustainability in manufacturing organizations: Empirical evidence on the role of green human resource management

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Green human resource management (HRM) practices can help organizations align their business strategies with the environment. Anchored in the resource‐based view of the firm, this study examines the influence of green HRM practices on sustainability using cross‐sectional data obtained from 112 large manufacturing firms in Malaysia. The results show that green recruitment and green training have positive effects on sustainability. However, green analysis and job description, green selection, green performance assessment, and green reward were not found to have any significant influence on sustainability. The model presented in this paper offers useful insights into the positive role of green HRM in the sustainability of manufacturing firms, and as previous studies exploring the link between green HRM and sustainability using empirical data from Malaysian manufacturing firms are scarce, this research is of significant importance for scholars and practitioners. The scope of this study focuses on emerging economies with a limited number of variables that are contextual and specific to the Malaysian economy. Future research could explore the relationship between green HRM and other variables that may contribute to the present framework in other contexts. Future studies may also consider each dimension of green HRM, or indeed other elements of green HRM, in relation to the different aspects of sustainability.

Studies of circular economy and innovation have received increasing attention in academic literature in the last quadrennium. They fill a managerial gap on how to operationalise the transition from the linear model to the circular. They show practices, tools and mechanisms that allow creation of business models based on circularity premises. In this article, we seek to identify the intellectual contours of this emerging field, conducting a review of the basic conceptual framework, with an analysis of articles published on the topic of circular economy and innovation. In summary, a systematic literature review was developed, whose final bibliographic portfolio consisted of 94 analysed papers. The results of the study show that eco-innovation and innovation in business models are highlighted in this field. They are operationalised, mainly, by activating dynamic, relational and absorptive capabilities. The most important innovation practices in this context are waste management, eco-design business models, product leasing and collaborative commerce. The main contribution of this study is to pave the way for new conceptual developments in organisational capabilities to make transition sustainable and serve as a support arsenal for the maturation of circular economy studies supported by the theory of innovation and also to link management practices to operational processes in the business and production environment favouring the transition to a circular business model. It generates insights for the scientific progression of studies and shows propositions that can be validated in future quantitative studies.
