Because of escalating technological conflicts, the US-China technology war, and hegemonic competition since the late 2010s, "technonationalism," has become a critical topic in the international political economy, and this study contributes to the ongoing discussion proposing two mediating...

Purpose This paper aims to explore the key anchors of the National Innovation System shaping the nature of collaboration between academic high-performance computing centres (academic HPC centres) and small- to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) working in the automotive and electronics sectors of...

Currently, to ensure the sustainable development of any economy, a very important role is represented by the transition to the circular economy, which manifests itself differently by sectors and types of products. Considering the need to expand the circular economy, a special role is played by...

Digitisation and the circular economy open the possibility to ensure efficient products and services development, while promoting the sustainable development of social well-being. Despite being an area with high potential for adopting business models that integrate the perspective of the two...

In recent years, the concern for durable electrical and electronic products as well as the recovery and recycling of electrical and electronic waste has increased, simultaneously with new initiatives aimed not only at protecting the environment, but ensuring consumer's health, while...

The electrical and electronic equipment market (EEE) is a growing one due to technological developments and innovation. The present paper captures the consumer behaviour regarding the purchase, use, and disposal of these types of equipment in the light of the transition to a circular economy. To...

The paper aims to highlight the most relevant elements that appear at the intersection of two concepts: the circular economy and electrical and electronic equipment (EEE), as they are reflected in the mainstream of scientific publications to date. This approach is possible through the use of a...

Our research objective is to investigate the circular economy practices implemented by manufacturers in the electric appliance sector. The research methodology was mixed, selecting relevant fragments from the nonfinancial reporting of a sample of entities in the European Union and following the...

Using a data sample from all 27 EU Member States from 2009-2020, the present study quantifies the factors that can lead to an increase in the collection rate of waste from electrical and electronic equipment (EEE). The results underline the fact that an increase in the quality of road...

Monitoring of Member States' compliance with quantitative targets for the collection of electrical and electronic waste, preparation for reuse, recycling, and recovery of such waste is carried out based on Directive 2012/19/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 July 2012 on waste...
