After the commencing review on Occupational Health and Safety Management-Systems Standards, follow papers which can be classified into four categories which cover the overall scope of special issue. The first category includes papers regarding the micro-level of circular economy. This means case studies in firm-level which implement different techniques to achieve sustainable development and circular economy goals. The findings reveal interesting achievements which are associated with cultural characteristics of the countries these case studies have been conducted. The second category of papers refers to the meso-level of circular economy where firms cooperate with each other by exchanging byproducts and organizing common operational procedures and routines to address environmental problems. The findings suggest assessment information technology tools to support industrial symbiosis among European firms. The next body of literature encompasses macro-level where circular economy techniques are implemented at a country level. Findings suggest methodologies for implementing and tracking circular economy in cities. Finally, a number of papers are included that focus on advanced engineering techniques. These techniques are useful tools for achieving circular economy and sustainability. 606 $aHistory of engineering and technology$2bicssc 610 $aaction theory 610 $aadaptation 610 $abuffer management 610 $acarbon footprint 610 $aCCPM 610 $aChina 610 $acircular city 610 $acircular economy 610 $aclimate change 610 $aconstruction delay 610 $aconstruction safety 610 $acorporate philanthropy 610 $acost benefit analysis 610 $acost prediction of substation project 610 $acritical success factors 610 $aCuckoo Search 610 $adrivers 610 $aemergy analysis 610 $aEnsemble Empirical Mode Decomposition 610 $aframework 610 $afuzzy logic 610 $aFuzzy TOPSIS 610 $aindicators 610 $aIndustrial symbiosis 610 $ainformation transfer 610 $ainvestments 610 $aIT tools 610 $aLife cycle assessment (LCA) 610 $aManagement Standards 610 $amanufacturing firms 610 $amaterial procurement management 610 $aOccupational Health and Safety (OHS) 610 $aoptimal project profitability 610 $aPERT/CPM 610 $aphotovoltaics 610 $apiping construction 610 $aplanning and control 610 $apolitical connections 610 $apollution impact 610 $aPRAT method 610 $aprefabrication housing production 610 $aprobabilistic alternative approach 610 $aProject Definition Rating Index 610 $arenewable energy systems 610 $aresearch and innovation projects 610 $aresource competition 610 $aresource consumption 610 $arisk assessment 610 $arule-based systems 610 $asmart city 610 $asmart governance 610 $aSME 610 $asocial capital 610 $asocial network 610 $asocial network centrality 610 $asolar thermal collectors 610 $asources of funding 610 $asteel production 610 $astochastic simulation 610 $astrategic management 610 $aSupport Vector Machines 610 $asustainability 610 $asustainable city 610 $asustainable development 610 $asustainable economy 610 $aTheory of Inventive Problem Solving 610 $atraffic congestion 610 $atransport planning 610 $atransport project evaluation 610 $aurbanization 610 $avalue of travel time savings 610 $aValue-at-Risk 615 7$aHistory of engineering and technology 700 $aKonstantakopoulou$b Foteini$4auth$01288173 702 $aTsagarakis$b Konstantinos P$4auth 702 $aNikolaou$b Ioannis$4auth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910372782003321 996 $aCircular Economy, Ethical Funds, and Engineering Projects$93020672 997 $aUNINA
