Summary: Wood is a renewable and carbon-capturing material, but a large amount of wood waste is generated annually with very little being recovered and circulated. This research aims to develop a conceptual framework and system dynamics model to transition to a circular economy in wood waste handling and management supply chain. The study identifies the most widely accepted wood waste classification and 12 key performance indicators in waste handling and management.

Summary: This study addresses the lack of empirical longitudinal evidence in the existing eco-innovation literature on how industry norms influence firms' strategic choices and innovation activities in the context of environmental sustainability. It reveals the causal effects of industry norms promoting environmentally sustainable practices on firms' environmental strategy development, ultimately driving eco-innovation outputs. By utilizing survey data and longitudinal analysis, the study offers robust empirical evidence on the impact of industry norms on firm strategy and eco-innovation. This research provides important theoretical, empirical, methodological, and practical implications for understanding the relationship between industry norms and eco-innovation.

Summary: Unlike large enterprises, the environmental impact of small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) has not received the same level of attention from stakeholders or management scholars. This study focuses on how SMEs can justify their strategic involvement in environmental management practices (EMP) and contribute to corporate sustainability through investment in EMP despite operating under conditions of weak appropriability.

Summary: In this study, the influences of eco-determinants and innovation strategies on the sustainability performance of SMEs were evaluated. Data from a questionnaire-based survey of 152 SMEs in the manufacturing industry in Kocaeli, Turkey were analyzed using PLS-SEM. The results indicate that eco-determinants and eco-innovation strategy have a positive and direct impact on sustainability performance of SMEs, with the strategy mediating the relationship between determinants and performance.

Summary: This study analyzes the characteristics of process parameters in three lean gas ethane recovery processes and establishes a prediction and multiobjective optimization model for ethane recovery and system energy consumption. A new method for comparing ethane recovery processes for lean gas is proposed, and the addition of extra coolers improves the ethane recovery. The support vector regression model based on grey wolf optimization demonstrates the highest prediction accuracy, and the multiobjective multiverse optimization algorithm shows the best optimization performance and diversity in the solutions.

Summary: The paper proposes a novel deep learning-based prediction framework, aTCN-LSTM, for accurate cooling load predictions. The framework utilizes a gate-controlled multi-head temporal convolutional network and a sparse probabilistic self-attention mechanism with a bidirectional long short-term memory network to capture both temporal and long-term dependencies in the cooling load sequences. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method, which can serve as an effective guide for HVAC chiller scheduling and demand management initiatives.

Summary: This study uses survey data from the Loess Plateau in China to evaluate the impact of social interaction on the adoption of soil and water conservation (SWC) technology by farmers. The study finds that social interaction increases the likelihood of farmers adopting SWC, and internet use moderates this effect. The positive impact of social interaction on SWC adoption is more pronounced for farmers in larger villages and those who join cooperative societies.
