Co-Created Values in Crowdfunding for Enterprises
Crowdfunding (CF) is considered to be an innovative source of funding, and research into its effects on CF participants is being conducted from many different angles. Crowdfunding not only presents an alternative financing option, but also affects all perspectives relevant to value creation. As compared to the existing literature, this analysis is the most comprehensive take on the importance of crowdfunding for increasing the value of small and medium enterprises to date, thus offering a material contribution to the fuller understanding of crowdfunding from the financial standpoint, as well as pointing to the importance of crowdfunding as a financing method influencing sustainable decision-making by small and medium enterprises (SMEs).

Link Prediction for Global Plastic Waste Trade
China’s waste plastic ban has sparked a discussion about how the global plastic waste trade (GPWT) will develop in the future. GPWT has certain stability and sustainability; although plastic waste trade has narrowed under the ban, it still has the potential trend of reconnecting the same type of links. Specifically, from a regional perspective, the future trade of new plastic waste trade will be dominated by cross-regional trade. Plastic waste may continue to flow to countries in the Asian–Pacific, Middle East, and African regions, while European countries will strengthen the internal recycling and processing of plastic waste. From the perspective of the national income level, the establishment of the new relationship will show an evolutionary trend in which high-income countries are dominated and the scale of trade between non-high-income countries expands. In addition, the differences in the level of economic development, liner transport connectivity, and the proportion of mismanagement of plastic waste among countries has a positive effect on the establishment of a new relationship in the GPWT, while tariff rates have an inhibitory effect.

Environmental Consciousness on Environmental Management
As society’s view of the public good expands to include responsible corporate citizenship, profit performance alone no longer suffices as the sole measure of a company’s performance. Issues of environmental protection and contributions to society are also included in evaluating overall corporate strategy, thus broadening the evaluation beyond the income statement. As companies adopt the mantle of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) theories, their potential liabilities are no longer limited to operational costs. Investments in environmental protection and environmental management systems influence a company’s competitiveness and strategic considerations. When performed right, these investments not only reduce litigation and administrative costs, but also enhance long-term profitability and continuing development

The E-Commerce-Delivery
Except for digital goods, all other products sold on e-commerce platforms require physical delivery. The delivery of goods to end consumers is an important part of e-commerce, but it is also one of the most polluting and least efficient parts of logistics. The process of delivering goods to consumers can be inefficient due to factors such as urban sprawl and the growth of e-commerce. Additionally, consumer habits and preferences have led to an increase in the distribution of goods over short distances, which requires approaches and measures to minimize the environmental effects.

Scaling Local Bottom-Up Innovations
Bottom-up initiatives of active citizens are increasingly demonstrating sustainable practices within local ecosystems. Local urban farming, sustainable agri-food systems, circular supply chains, and community fablabs are exemplary ways of tackling global challenges on a local level. Although promising in accelerating towards future-proof systems, these hyper-localized, bottom-up initiatives often struggle to take root in new contexts due to embedded socio-cultural challenges.

E-Waste Management Strategies and Prediction Methods
Electronic waste generation is increasing dramatically throughout the world. Consequently, this increase in E-waste harms the environment, health, and other aspects of human life. Moreover, hazardous substances and the informal disposal of E-waste severely threaten human health and the environment. Saudi Arabia is the largest Arab country in terms of electronic waste generation and is the Arab country that generates the most E-waste. Over the past few decades, several initiatives and policy implementations have been undertaken in the country. However, the management of E-waste is still a source of distress and an unresolved issue. Sustainable development requires much more effort, primarily efficient E-waste management, which can only be achieved by establishing a formal collection system, early forecasting, and accurate estimations.

Knowledge Transfer Performance of China's Industry-University-Research Institute Collaboration
Knowledge transfer performance is a key consideration in the process of R&D collaboration between companies and research institutes; how to improve the performance of knowledge transfer depends on the matching between the partners of IUR collaboration. The goal difference of industry-university-research institute collaboration partners has a negative moderating effect on the relationship between learning willingness, absorptive capacity, and knowledge transfer performance. The greater the degree of goal difference, the lower the role of the enterprise’s learning willingness and absorptive capacity to promote knowledge transfer performance. Technical knowledge difference has a significant inverted U-shaped effect on the relationship between absorptive capacity and knowledge transfer performance: a high degree of technical knowledge difference weakens the effects of absorptive capacity on knowledge transfer performance, while a low degree of technical knowledge difference will also negatively moderate the effects of absorptive capacity on knowledge transfer performance.
