In the extant literature, circular economy (CE) is considered a driver for sustainable development of the manufacturing sector, being it an industrial paradigm aiming at regenerating resources. CE is transferred to manufacturing companies through the adoption of different Circular Manufacturing (CM) strategies (e.g., recycling, remanufacturing, etc.). Nowadays, manufacturers are struggling to implement these strategies to limit their resource consumption and pollution generation. To enable their adoption, the extant literature unveiled the importance to control along the entire value chain different types of resource flows (i.e., material, energy, and information). Nevertheless, while for material and energy management some advancements were achieved, information management and sharing remains one of the major barriers in adopting these strategies. The present work, through a systematic literature review, aims to identify the relevant information and data required to support the manufacturer’s decision process in adopting and managing the different CM strategies to pursue the transition towards CM. Furthermore, based on the results obtained, this research proposes a theoretical framework. It elucidates the four main areas to be managed by manufacturers in adopting CM strategies and it provides to the manufacturer an overview of what should be updated and upgraded inside the company to embrace CM strategies.

Waste Segregation

Today, the healthcare industry has grown in importance as the number of hospitals has increased in response to the increased number of patients. This signifies that the world will be facing a more critical environment as a result of waste generation by hospitals. However, there are still insufficient studies that systematically review the existing literature on hospital waste management. Thus, this systematic literature review focuses on hospital waste management and its environmental impact. The results from Google Scholar and Science Direct show 80 articles starting from 2015 to 2020. Only 12 articles fulfil the criteria for further analysis. Most studies indicated the presence of hospital waste procedures such as waste segregation, a lack of awareness among clinical staff, poor facilities and government enforcement. The study contributes to the body of knowledge and the industry. This study explains the importance and environmental impact of hospital waste management.  A recommendation for future research is provided.

Food Waste

Dampak negatif dari pemborosan makanan telah lama dikaitkan dengan hubungan erat antara makanan yang terbuang dan kerawanan pangan, mengingat secara global sepertiga dari makanan yang dihasilkan dari konsumsi manusia telah dibuang. Meskipun penelitian ilmiah dapat menginformasikan praktik pengurangan limbah makanan, sehingga memangkas biaya operasional dan menghemat sumber daya bisnis, operator jasa makanan takut akan potensi kerusakan reputasi yang ditimbulkan sebagai akibat dari pengungkapan data tentang jumlah makanan yang terbuang di tempat mereka. Oleh karena itu, untuk mendapatkan persetujuan dari penyedia jasa makanan maka untuk mengambil bagian dalam penelitian ilmiah tentang limbah makanan bisa menjadi sulit. Sebagian besar penyedia layanan makanan tidak dapat menugaskan anggota staf yang berdedikasi untuk mencatat pemborosan makanan karena kekurangan staf dan sibuk beroperasi pada layanan makanan. Keengganan industri untuk berkolaborasi dengan akademisi, menjelaskan mengapa kehadiran peneliti di dapur restoran dengan tujuan audit limbah makanan tidak selalu ada. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode literature review untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor yang berhubungan dengan pengelolaan limbah makanan. Penelitian ini menggunakan 15 artikel penelitian yang diambil dari database Scopus. Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor yang berhubungan dengan pengelolaan limbah makanan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat variabel yang berpengaruh terhadap pengelolaan sampah makanan, baik yang berpengaruh, berpengaruh negatif, bahkan tidak berpengaruh. Penelitian lain juga menunjukkan pengaruh pengelolaan limbah makanan terhadap variabel lain, yaitu sirkular bioekonomi.

Product Disposal

Although there has been a steady increase in the number of studies on consumer behaviour in relation to sustainable development, there is limited focus on the product disposal phase. This systematic literature review intends to: (1) clarify how concepts related to pro-environmental consumer behaviour are understood and analysed in the academic literature on waste management; (2) discover any interplay between pro-environmental consumer behaviour and generic consumer behaviour, and the conditions and factors that favour it. A typical systematic literature review methodology was applied to the papers available on Web of Science, Science Direct and EBSCO (Elton Bryson Stephens Company) host between 1975 and 2019, leading to the selection of 699 final papers. The findings reveal that: (1) Although scholars tend to create a variety of pro-environmental consumer behaviour models depending on their specific field of inquiry, all approaches can be traced back to a limited number of reference theories; (2) The overall level of interplay between pro-environmental consumer behaviour and generic consumer behaviour is limited, nevertheless a favourable context or a supportive institutional-legal framework can significantly influence it; (3) A plethora of conditions and factors favour this type of interplay, involving social psychology, laws, economics, institutions and more; (4) Several critical issues appear in the analysed papers, especially some scholars’ assumptions to be able to identify all key factors. It follows the need for a more interdisciplinary approach, a deeper analysis of the effectiveness of the intervention measures at the governmental and institutional level, and a clear classification of factors and conditions (as proposed by this review).

Food waste costs U.S. restaurant leaders billions of dollars per year. The purpose of this research was to provide restaurant leaders with processes and strategies to reduce food waste costs. The research method used was systematic literature review in addressing this research question: What processes and strategies are available to U.S. restaurant leaders to reduce food waste costs? This study addresses a gap in literature related to processes and strategies to reduce food waste costs. Six processes and seven strategies to reduce food waste costs were presented.
