A facile and scalable strategy for fabricating bio-based photodynamic antimicrobial nonwoven eco-textiles

“…The world is currently struggling to recover from the consequences of environmental pollution. 48 The sustainability and eco-compatibility (Fig. 7a) of eco-textiles were, therefore, worth investigating, including renewable raw materials, eco-friendly preparation process, and multi-directional waste disposal.…”

Mapping sustainable supply chain innovation: A comprehensive bibliometric analysis

“…The main topics covered in this cluster are sustainable development, green supply chains, competition, and innovation. Sustainable development and environmental management examine the concept of environmental sustainability and its implications for business practices [ [5] , [94] ]. Green SCs and supply chain management (SCM) discuss how sustainability can be incorporated into the design and management of SCs and how it can improve SC performance and efficiency [ 95 ].…”

“…The Environmental Sustainability and Innovation domain explores the intersection of environmental sustainability and innovation. Recent research has focused on the development of sustainable technologies [ 94 ], such as renewable energy and green infrastructure [ 105 ], as well as the impact of environmental regulations on business operations [ 10 ]. The research and impactful understanding should include studying the role of innovation in promoting environmental sustainability, exploring the impact of environmental policies on business behavior [ 86 ], and understanding the barriers to adopting sustainable technologies [ 55 ].…”
