“…The initial impetus for this research was to take advantage of the recent proliferation of spatial data that could potentially contribute to circular economy research. This dissertation utilizes two novel data sources on the Netherlands: chapters 4 and 5 use the Dutch National Waste Registry dataset on locations of waste production, processing, and reuse (Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management, 2019;Sileryte et al, 2022); and chapter 7 uses the Dutch Environmental Assessment Agency dataset on locations of future supply and demand of secondary construction materials (van Oorschot et al, 2023). More commonly used spatial data is also used throughout the research, including the Dutch Provinces Association dataset on locations of industrial estates (Interprovinciaal Overleg (IPO), 2022), the Statistics Netherlands dataset on census information (Centraal Bureau voor de Statistiek, 2023), and OpenStreetMap data on locations of street networks and major transit stations (OpenStreetMap contributors, 2017).…”

“…Complimenting the mapping of material stocks is the mapping of material flows, where the flow of secondary resources can be mapped using waste statistics data (Furlan et al, 2020;Sileryte et al, 2022).…”

“…In addition to having CE high on the policy agenda, the Netherlands has high quality and availability of spatial data, especially on material stocks and flows. This includes high spatial resolution data on locations of waste flows from the Dutch Waste Registry (Sileryte et al, 2022), as well as material embedded in the current building stock (van Oorschot et al, 2023). Given the integration of CE in policy and the availability of spatial data on material stocks and flows, the Netherlands provides a promising context for studying the spatial aspects of the circular transition.…”

Rapid urbanization has exerted unsustainable pressures on the environment, and implementing circular economy (CE) in cities has been seen by policy makers as a potential solution for resource scarcity. Scholars have therefore called for an understanding of the spatial aspects of CE that go beyond urban governance strategies, engendering the recent integration of spatial disciplines, such as urban planning and regional economics, into the study of CE. Using the Netherlands as a case study, this research asks the question, "what determines the locations and scales of closing material loops in a circular economy?”, using both quantitative and qualitative spatial analysis methods, and both present- and future-oriented perspectives. Novel data sources on locations of material stocks and flows were used, including waste statistics and material stock maps. Research results were presented in five chapters, each corresponding to an academic paper. Current locations and scales are identified by analyzing the locations of waste reuse clusters in the Netherlands, and future locations and scales are addressed by identifying the optimal locations and service areas of circular construction hubs in Amsterdam. As an overall conclusion, I identified 5 conceptual and methodological tensions that occur when determining locations and scales for closing material loops: urban manufacturing vs urban mining, clusters vs hubs, spaces vs people vs materials, present vs future, and quantitative vs qualitative.

“…The European Union aims to overcome the high energy consumption and low labor force currently evident in agriculture (Robbins, 2020;Rep, 2021); this will require support for farmers, which may be challenging (Rep, 2021). Another emerging policy is focused on waste management and recycling, where the European Union plans to integrate waste registry systems within its countries (Bobba et al, 2020;Sileryte et al, 2022). In line with this, the European Union plans to discontinue outsourcing unused materials externally, and to re-examine its policies around illegal exports and waste shipping (European Commision, 2020).…”

The Green Deal and its implementation are generating discussions across society. Changes brought about by the agreement could impact sustainable development worldwide; therefore, identifying the most common Green Deal-related topics on a global scale can offer insight into the public mood around implementation of the agreement. Social networks provide the opportunity to find such topics because they contain a large amount of data produced by users worldwide: analysis of their content can therefore provide insight into the discourse on the Green Deal and identify the sentiment in discussions around this topic. In this article, we present perceptions of the Green Deal and identify the main Green Deal-related topics based on analysis of communication on the Twitter social network (currently X social network). Using the search terms “green deal,” “greendeal,” and “#greendeal,” 192,567 tweets from 89,328 unique users were captured between 1 January 2019 and 31 March 2023. We identified the 40 most used unique hashtags that people used when communicating about the Green Deal, which included “#EU,” “#eugreendeal,” and “#climatechange,” and the 16 most relevant topics discussed in relation to the Green Deal, which included both European (“European Green Deal”) and North American (“Green New Deal”) perspectives. Each topic was associated with a certain amount of negative, positive, or neutral sentiment: the most positive sentiment was associated with the “Industrial plan” and “Hydrogen” topics, and the most negative sentiment was associated with topics relating to “Joe Biden” and “Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.” Overall, our analysis of the discourse regarding the Green Deal offers organizations and decision-makers insight into how people perceive different aspects of the Green Deal and related topics. This may be beneficial in tackling disinformation across social networks and increasing public awareness, which could create a society better equipped to face the global concern of climate change.

“…Padmanabhan et al, 2022)(Sileryte et al, 2022) One of the main problems that can be addressed from the Circular Economy in the management of water resources is associated with the conditions of quality, governance, availability of the resource and its different types. For the integral solution of these problems, it is necessary to generate technological and management alternatives, whose objective is to close the resource loops and extend their useful life through greater use, reuse and remanufacturing.…”

Under the current consumption model, the depletion of natural resources, specifically water, is a reality that we will face if we do not promote a paradigm shift: resources can be reused leaving behind the traditional patterns of taking, manufacturing and discarding. Under this premise, in recent years, the concept of circular economy, an economic premise interrelated with sustainability has become an alternative for responsible consumption. The objective is to maintain water sources, if possible, through controlled and responsible collection, increase the reduction of consumption through the reuse of the resource and the appropriate and optimal treatment for its return to nature. Through Research, Development and Innovation, R+D+i, it is possible to define new schemes for the reuse of water, both for industrial sectors and for local governments; for example, in relation to the management of waste water, which goes from being waste to becoming a resource again. A study of information, bibliometrics and scientometry of scientific articles associated with the circular economy of water resources was carried out to identify research trends in this topic, as well as to establish the parameters of sustainability and governance of this resource. In the management of this resource, certain social, economic, environmental processes, among others, have not been considered, which affects the issue of water governance. In the development of this work, the Scopus database (Elsevier, B.V., 2021) and the Text Mining program VantagePoint (Search Technology, Academic Version 12.0) were used. 425 records were identified, during the period 2010 – 2021, in which an increasing trend of 83% is observed. The researchers' interest is focused on applications in environmental science and engineering. As for the countries, Spain and Italy stand out with the highest number of publications. Given the growing interest and importance in the subject, it is necessary to establish which models should be adopted to optimize the use of water resources, contributing to the protection of this natural supply, key to the prolongation of life.
