Enabling sustainability and resilience in industries through the value chains’ circularity and digitalisation
(Corresponding) Aryblia M., Sarantinoudis N., Tsinarakis G., Arampatzis G.
Topic:
CIRCULAR ECONOMY AND BIOECONOMY
Living for the last decades in a linear world has emerged the necessity for resources reduction, reuse, and recycling, leaving behind the “take-make-waste” economic model and jumping over towards a cyclical ecologic system. Especially for the industrial environments, the efficient management of...Read more
