About
Dirceu de Silva is a leading voice in the intersection of industrial sustainability and emerging technologies. His research primarily focuses on how Industry 4.0 technologies can drive circular economy practices, particularly within high-impact sectors like the textile industry. In his highly cited 2023 work, de Silva critically examines the deployment of I4.0T to foster micro-level circular economy and cleaner production. He makes a pivotal contribution by demonstrating that while these technologies promote efficiency and material loops, they often neglect "Strong Sustainability," failing to address the fundamental environmental burdens of production. With 35 citations, this paper has become a cornerstone for scholars and practitioners seeking to reconcile technological innovation with genuine ecological integrity. De Silva’s work challenges the field to move beyond superficial green metrics, urging a deeper integration of sustainability principles into industrial strategy. His critical perspective is essential for students and researchers aiming to design truly regenerative systems in the age of digital manufacturing.
