The rapid expansion of civil infrastructures has improved the quality of life but has also resulted in a significant increase in industrial solid wastes (ISWs), posing serious sustainability challenges, particularly for waste disposal. To address the challenges, this study investigated the state of the art and identified emerging innovations to utilize the ISWs associated with various industrial processes. Effective ISW utilization was noted to be not only vital for ecological sustainability and reducing greenhouse gas emissions but also for achieving substantial cost and resource savings, contributing to a circular economy. This review study examined industrial byproducts from various sectors, such as steel and metal production, silicon and ferrosilicon manufacturing processes, agriculture and biomass industries, coal combustion and incineration in power plants, construction, textile and plastic production, and renewable energy industries. Each byproduct was systematically assessed in terms of its contribution to waste generation and the strategies available to minimize its environmental impacts. Special emphasis was placed on the reuse and repurpose of ISWs, especially for their integration into the construction industry, where they can be transformed into valuable raw materials. The effects of these byproducts on the main properties of the most common construction materials, such as concrete, asphalt, fillers, aggregates, and fibers, were studied in detail. The study also examined the ISW management hierarchy and its role in enhancing landfill disposal techniques. This comprehensive review led to original insights to address various aspects of ISW utilization, with a particular focus on their sustainable repurposing for civil infrastructure applications.

民用基础设施的迅速扩大改善了生活质量，但也造成工业固体废物的大量增加，对可持续性，特别是废物处理提出了严重的挑战。为了应对这些挑战，本研究调查了最先进的技术，并确定了利用与各种工业过程相关的isw的新兴创新。会议指出，有效利用ISW不仅对生态可持续性和减少温室气体排放至关重要，而且对实现大量成本和资源节约、促进循环经济也至关重要。这项综述研究审查了来自不同部门的工业副产品，如钢铁和金属生产、硅和硅铁制造过程、农业和生物质工业、发电厂的燃煤和焚烧、建筑、纺织和塑料生产以及可再生能源工业。系统地评估了每一种副产品对废物产生的贡献以及减少其对环境影响的现有战略。特别强调了isw的再利用和重新利用，特别是将其纳入建筑业，在那里它们可以转化为有价值的原材料。详细研究了这些副产品对混凝土、沥青、填料、骨料和纤维等最常见建筑材料主要性能的影响。研究亦探讨了污水处理厂的管理制度及其在提升堆填区处置技术方面的作用。这项全面的审查为解决ISW利用的各个方面带来了独到的见解，特别关注其在民用基础设施应用中的可持续再利用。

Sustainable Financial Consumerism (SFC) encapsulates long-term financial well-being and social equity. Despite its critical importance, the interplay between various determinants of SFC particularly in alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), remains limited. This study fills a salient gap by employing structural equation model to explain the determinants of SFC, focusing on the exogenous variables such as financial literacy and awareness (FLA), artificial intelligence (AI), and financial product quality (FPQ). Utilizing the data collected from the rural households of selected aspirations districts in India, the study investigates the moderating effect of FLA in shaping SFC. By identifying financial literacy awareness as a direct influencer and a moderator, the findings offer actionable insights for stakeholders to design more targeted strategies for promoting sustainable financial practice and rational decision-making. The research highlights the potential of leveraging AI and social media to deliver personalized, engaging, and accessible financial education tailored to diverse demographics. Moreover, the study underscores the importance of collaboration among financial institutions, technology providers, and educational agencies to build an ecosystem that advances financial literacy (SDG 4), and promote sustainable financial behaviour for inclusive economic growth (SDG 8). Such multi-stakeholder partnerships also align with SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals), fostering synergies that enhances broader sustainability objectives.

可持续金融消费主义（SFC）包含了长期的财务福利和社会公平。尽管其至关重要，但SFC的各种决定因素之间的相互作用，特别是与可持续发展目标（sdg）的一致，仍然有限。本研究利用结构方程模型来解释SFC的决定因素，重点关注金融素养和意识（FLA）、人工智能（AI）和金融产品质量（FPQ）等外生变量，填补了这一显著空白。本研究利用从印度选定的理想地区的农村家庭收集的数据，调查了公平竞争对塑造SFC的调节作用。通过将金融素养意识确定为直接影响者和调节者，研究结果为利益相关者提供了可操作的见解，以设计更有针对性的策略，促进可持续金融实践和理性决策。该研究强调了利用人工智能和社交媒体为不同人群量身定制个性化、引人入胜和可访问的金融教育的潜力。此外，该研究强调了金融机构、技术提供商和教育机构之间合作的重要性，以建立一个生态系统，提高金融素养（可持续发展目标4），促进可持续金融行为，促进包容性经济增长（可持续发展目标8）。这种多利益攸关方伙伴关系也符合可持续发展目标17（目标伙伴关系），促进协同作用，促进更广泛的可持续发展目标。

Despite growing awareness of the importance of waste prevention in circular economy transitions, substantial volumes of reusable items continue to be discarded. This exploratory case study investigates consumer behavior at a Swedish recycling center, focusing on decisions made at the point of disposal. Guided by Social Practice Theory (SPT), the study examines how routines, knowledge, infrastructure, and cultural meanings shape behavior when individuals choose whether to recycle or reuse functional or repairable products. A mixed-methods approach combined on-site vehicle scanning, semi-structured interviews, and contextual observations. Scanning results showed that up to 35 % of discarded items had reuse potential, highlighting a significant gap between waste system outcomes and consumer intent. Qualitative data revealed that even consumers with positive attitudes toward reuse often default to recycling due to convenience, time constraints, and low confidence in repair or reuse options. Donating to charity often alleviates guilt, but many of these items are later recycled by the organizations, exposing systemic inefficiencies and public misunderstandings. Findings are analyzed through the SPT lens, emphasizing the interplay of meanings (social norms, moral justifications), competences (repair skills, reuse knowledge), and materials (product quality, infrastructure). This framing shows how reuse practices are constrained by structural conditions and embedded habits. The study contributes to sustainable consumption literature by identifying behavioral barriers and mismatches between consumer expectations and system design. It proposes targeted interventions, including clearer reuse criteria, better guidance at disposal points, and system adjustments aligned with everyday practices—to enhance reuse behavior and reduce preventable waste.

尽管人们越来越意识到防止废物在循环经济转型中的重要性，但仍有大量可重复使用的物品被丢弃。这个探索性案例研究调查了瑞典回收中心的消费者行为，重点是在处置点做出的决定。在社会实践理论（SPT）的指导下，该研究考察了日常习惯、知识、基础设施和文化意义如何影响个人在选择是否回收或再利用功能性或可修复产品时的行为。混合方法结合现场车辆扫描，半结构化访谈和上下文观察。扫描结果显示，高达35%的废弃物品具有再利用潜力，突显了废物处理系统的结果与消费者意图之间的巨大差距。定性数据显示，即使是对再利用持积极态度的消费者，也经常因为方便、时间限制和对修复或再利用选择的信心不足而默认回收。向慈善机构捐款通常会减轻人们的负罪感，但其中许多物品后来被组织回收利用，暴露出系统效率低下和公众误解。通过SPT的视角分析发现，强调意义（社会规范、道德辩护）、能力（修理技能、重用知识）和材料（产品质量、基础设施）之间的相互作用。这个框架显示了重用实践是如何受到结构条件和嵌入习惯的约束的。该研究通过识别消费者期望与系统设计之间的行为障碍和不匹配，为可持续消费文献做出了贡献。它提出了有针对性的干预措施，包括更明确的再利用标准、更好的处置点指导以及与日常实践相一致的系统调整，以加强再利用行为并减少可预防的浪费。

This systematic literature review explores the junction of workplace well-being, digital capacity, and innovation performance in reaction to increasing calls for ethical innovation and sustainable business practices. With specific focus on Asia and China, the review draws on 48 peer-reviewed papers published between 2012 and 2024 to synthesize results across various organizational and geographical settings. Three fundamental theoretical frameworks—Social Exchange Theory, Human Capital Theory, and Digital Transformation—anchor the study. The findings show that workplace well-being—comprising emotional, cognitive, social, and occupational aspects—is a major facilitator of innovative and proactive employee behaviour. At the same time, digital capacity becomes a moderator and a driver, increasing the impact of well-being by means of improved cooperation, autonomy, and knowledge system access. The review reveals, therefore, important mediating and moderating factors—such as organizational environment and technical self-efficacy—that influence the paths to innovation. The results encourage a change from output-driven to value-driven innovation models in line with Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals and the values of sustainable and responsible consumption. While suggesting future research paths in fields such AI-readiness, hybrid work environments, and regional differences in innovation equality, the study provides useful insights for leaders and legislators trying to balance digital progress with human-centered approaches. In the end, the study provides a strong foundation for creating ethical, inclusive, and sustainable innovation plans in the digital era.

这篇系统的文献综述探讨了工作场所幸福感、数字能力和创新绩效之间的联系，以回应对道德创新和可持续商业实践日益增长的呼吁。该评估特别关注亚洲和中国，借鉴了2012年至2024年间发表的48篇同行评议论文，综合了不同组织和地理环境的研究结果。三个基本理论框架——社会交换理论、人力资本理论和数字化转型理论——是研究的基础。研究结果表明，工作场所的幸福感——包括情感、认知、社交和职业方面——是创新和积极的员工行为的主要促进者。与此同时，数字能力成为一种调节和驱动因素，通过改善合作、自主和知识系统获取来增加福祉的影响。因此，本文揭示了影响创新路径的重要中介和调节因素，如组织环境和技术自我效能感。研究结果鼓励从产出驱动型向价值驱动型创新模式转变，以符合环境、社会和治理（ESG）目标以及可持续和负责任消费的价值观。该研究在提出人工智能准备、混合工作环境和创新平等的地区差异等领域的未来研究路径的同时，为试图平衡数字进步与以人为本的方法的领导人和立法者提供了有用的见解。最后，该研究为在数字时代制定合乎道德、包容和可持续的创新计划提供了坚实的基础。

Governments develop mixes of policy instruments to drive electric vehicle adoption by combining direct and indirect financial incentives and informational and convenience policies. In this paper, we analyse the impact of instrument mixes on electric vehicle adoption by firms because their early adopter role can stimulate mass adoption. We contribute to the literature by offering quantitative analyses on the impact of instrument mix attributes - consistency and comprehensiveness - on firms’ electric vehicle purchases, where prior studies focus on qualitative analyses, adoption intentions, and adoption by households. We built an original dataset of new registrations of electric commercial vehicles and electric light commercial vehicles from 2001 to 2019 in the United Kingdom. We use Poisson fixed effects models for our panel data of 760 observations. Our results show that direct and indirect financial incentives and informational and convenience policies positively impact adoption with direct financial incentives having the largest impact. Consistent and comprehensive mixes also positively influence the adoption of both vehicle types. Our results imply that upfront cost reductions are most important for firms and that financial incentives should be combined with policies that overcome knowledge and operational barriers.

政府通过将直接和间接的财政激励与信息和便利政策相结合，制定混合政策工具来推动电动汽车的采用。在本文中，我们分析了仪器组合对公司采用电动汽车的影响，因为他们的早期采用者角色可以刺激大规模采用。我们通过对工具组合属性（一致性和全面性）对企业电动汽车购买的影响进行定量分析来贡献文献，而先前的研究侧重于定性分析，采用意图和家庭采用。我们建立了英国2001年至2019年电动商用车和电动轻型商用车新注册的原始数据集。我们对760个观测值的面板数据使用泊松固定效应模型。我们的研究结果表明，直接和间接的财政激励以及信息和便利政策对采用率有积极的影响，其中直接财政激励的影响最大。一致和全面的混合也对两种车型的采用产生积极影响。我们的研究结果表明，前期成本的降低对企业来说是最重要的，财政激励应该与克服知识和运营障碍的政策相结合。

The Paris Agreement mandated high-greenhouse-emitting countries implement carbon pricing to accelerate emission reduction to cope with environmental challenges posed by climate change. We emphasized a research analysis of the reciprocal feedback mechanism between micro- and macro-economic systems in response to the carbon tax in the economy, facilitating the adoption of renewable technology for social welfare. This research utilized a bi-model comprising the dynamic computable general equilibrium model and energy system optimization model for analysis. Results revealed empirical and positive evidence of carbon tax efficacy of three times emission reduction related to a less than one-time economic contraction, while significant environmental benefits positively influenced the individual welfare and technological advancement in Tianjin, China. The conclusion offers concrete long-term benefits of cleaner energy adoption, public health, and environmental sustainability to align with the Paris Agreement goals. The study suggests that policymakers implement a gradual carbon tax to maintain economic growth and fund carbon tax revenue to renewable energy technology, industrial efficiency upgradation, and social welfare programs to balance economic trade-offs.

《巴黎协定》要求温室气体高排放国家实施碳定价，以加速减排，应对气候变化带来的环境挑战。我们着重研究了微观和宏观经济系统之间的相互反馈机制，以应对经济中的碳税，促进可再生技术的社会福利采用。本研究采用由动态可计算一般平衡模型和能量系统优化模型组成的双模型进行分析。结果表明，天津地区三次减排的碳税效应与经济收缩相关，显著的环境效益正向影响个人福利和技术进步。该结论提供了采用清洁能源、公共卫生和环境可持续性与《巴黎协定》目标相一致的具体长期效益。研究建议政策制定者实施渐进式碳税以维持经济增长，并为可再生能源技术、工业效率升级和社会福利项目提供碳税收入，以平衡经济权衡。

The short replacement cycle of smartphones generates substantial electronic waste, with many disused devices stored rather than disposed of responsibly. This study explores factors associated with the willingness to engage in responsible disposal. An online survey of South Korean adults (N = 943) assessed preferences for four disposal methods: (a) manufacturer trade-ins, (b) transfers to family/friends, (c) C2C sales, and (d) C2B sales. Non-disposal was prevalent, with 85.8 % storing an average of 2.0 smartphones. Trade-ins (31.9 %) were the most preferred method, followed by transfers (22.3 %), C2C sales (16.4 %), and C2B sales (15.5 %). Ordered logistic regression showed subjective norms, response efficacy, and disposal knowledge positively influenced willingness to dispose, while emotional attachment hindered disposal except for transfers. Findings suggest raising awareness and addressing emotional attachment can promote responsible recycling, reducing smartphone hoarding and enhancing sustainability.

智能手机的更换周期很短，产生了大量的电子垃圾，许多废弃的设备被储存起来，而不是被负责任地处理掉。本研究探讨了与负责任处置意愿相关的因素。一项针对韩国成年人（N = 943）的在线调查评估了四种处置方式的偏好：(a)制造商以旧换新，(b)转让给家人/朋友，(c) C2C销售，(d) C2B销售。不处理的情况很普遍，85.8%的人平均储存2.0部智能手机。以旧换新（31.9%）是最受欢迎的方式，其次是转让（22.3%），C2C销售（16.4%）和C2B销售（15.5%）。有序逻辑回归显示，主观规范、反应效能、处置知识正向影响处置意愿，而情感依恋除迁移外，对处置意愿有阻碍作用。研究结果表明，提高意识和解决情感依恋可以促进负责任的回收，减少智能手机囤积，提高可持续性。

The conservation of the Chao Phraya River faces significant challenges, including environmental degradation, limited community participation, and insufficient integration of circular economy principles. This study aims to identify factors influencing pro-environmental behaviors and develop guidelines for enhancing community participation in river conservation. A quantitative cross-sectional approach was employed, collecting data from 402 respondents in Ang Thong Province through structured questionnaires. Descriptive and inferential statistics were applied to analyze relationships between socio-economic factors, knowledge, opinions, awareness, and waste management behaviors. The results revealed a strong correlation between knowledge of circular economy principles and effective waste management behaviors (r = 0.620). In addition, high awareness, gaps in practical implementation, particularly in waste donation and recycling, were observed. By addressing these challenges, this research offers actionable recommendations, including targeted education campaigns, incentive structures, and policy integration. The study contributes to the understanding of how socio-economic and cognitive factors drive pro-environmental behaviors, while practically, it provides a framework for sustainable conservation strategies applied to urban riverside communities.

湄南河的保护面临着巨大的挑战，包括环境恶化、社区参与有限以及循环经济原则的整合不足。本研究旨在找出影响亲环境行为的因素，并制定促进社区参与河流保育的指引。采用定量横断面方法，通过结构化问卷从安通省402名受访者中收集数据。采用描述性统计和推理统计方法分析社会经济因素、知识、意见、意识与废物管理行为之间的关系。结果显示，循环经济原则知识与有效的废物管理行为之间存在很强的相关性（r = 0.620）。此外，还注意到意识不高，实际执行方面存在差距，特别是在废物捐赠和回收方面。通过解决这些挑战，本研究提出了可行的建议，包括有针对性的教育活动、激励结构和政策整合。该研究有助于理解社会经济和认知因素如何驱动亲环境行为，同时在实践中为城市滨江社区的可持续保护策略提供了一个框架。

This study applied the Psychosocial Norms Approach (PNA) to examine Gambian consumers’ beliefs regarding consumption of functional foods (FFs), which contain health-promoting bioactive compounds and nutrients. A survey of Gambian consumers, stratified by age, gender, education, and FF knowledge, investigated relationships among knowledge, awareness, and attitudes influencing willingness to try FFs. Multivariate multiple regression models analyzed demographic and lifestyle data. Results revealed a strong correlation between attitudes towards FFs and perceived properties. Positive attitudes towards FFs were associated with perceived health benefits, and willingness to consume FFs increased with these beliefs. Family and friends significantly contributed to FF knowledge dissemination. Furthermore, age, health status, and education significantly influenced consumer awareness. These findings underscore the necessity for targeted information campaigns, particularly for low-educated populations concerned about health. This study identifies knowledge gaps and provides insights for policymakers promoting healthier diets in The Gambia, offering valuable lessons for other developing nations.

本研究采用社会心理规范方法（PNA）来调查冈比亚消费者对含有促进健康的生物活性化合物和营养素的功能性食品的消费观念。一项针对冈比亚消费者的调查，按年龄、性别、教育程度和FF知识分层，调查了影响尝试FF意愿的知识、意识和态度之间的关系。多元多元回归模型分析了人口统计和生活方式数据。结果显示，对FFs的态度与感知属性之间存在很强的相关性。对FFs的积极态度与感知到的健康益处有关，并且消费FFs的意愿随着这些信念而增加。家庭和朋友对FF知识传播的贡献显著。此外，年龄、健康状况和教育程度显著影响消费者的认知。这些调查结果强调了开展有针对性的宣传运动的必要性，特别是针对关注健康的受教育程度低的人群。这项研究确定了知识差距，为冈比亚促进健康饮食的政策制定者提供了见解，为其他发展中国家提供了宝贵的经验。
