This editorial explores the critical intersection of cleaner production and circular economy principles as vital strategies for promoting resource equity in the face of escalating environmental challenges. It emphasizes the necessity for a multifaceted approach to address the complexities of production and consumption that impact resource distribution and sustainability. The research articles highlight the importance of robust monitoring and evaluation frameworks to assess the effectiveness of implemented practices, as the absence of such frameworks can lead to an inadequate understanding of their impact on sustainability goals. Discussing the regulatory restrictions that may hinder the applicability of innovative recycling methods and cleaner production technologies, particularly in developing regions, the authors underscore the need for collaboration across various sectors and stakeholders to facilitate the uniform application of circular practices, which is essential for achieving widespread adoption. The Special Issue also addresses the potential for public environmental concern to influence legislation positively while recognizing the risk of environmental inequality due to pollution transfer. The findings suggest that while cleaner production and circular economy practices offer pathways to sustainability, their success is contingent upon overcoming technological gaps and fostering cooperation among diverse stakeholders. Ultimately, the Special Issue calls for comprehensive strategies that consider the unique challenges different industries and regions face, aiming to inspire actionable solutions for global resource management and environmental protection.
