In manufacturing contexts, Industry 4.0 and Industry 5.0 are forefront names for the concepts, technologies, practices, and skills underlying smart factories and industries of the future. Industry 5.0 extends the technological pillars of Industry 4.0 by putting more emphasis on human centricity, sustainability and resilience in the engineering (architecture, design and development), deployment (strategic/technology road mapping, business/digital transformation, and operationalization), and...

The escalating tide of waste and environmental threats demands a paradigm shift in how we produce and consume waste. The circular economy emerges as a beacon of hope, offering a transformative approach that breaks free from the traditional "take make dispose" model. This innovative system prioritizes sustainable practices throughout a product's lifecycle, promoting reuse, recycling, and regeneration. By fostering the development of robust and closed loop supply chains, the circular economy...
