  2. 1. Towards recycling of scarce metals from complex products

    Author : Magnus Andersson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; material flow analysis; Recycling; waste electrical and electronic equipment; scarce metal; end-of-life vehicle; WEEE; ELV; technological innovation system;

    Abstract : Cars and electronic equipment have come to depend on materially complex designs and are drawing attention to issues around sustainable materials management. The dependence of these products and other applications on metals that can be considered scarce, has been brought into political and scientific focus. READ MORE

  4. 2. Interest in Material Cycle Closure? Exploring Evolution of Industry's Responses to High-grade Recycling from an Industrial Ecology Perspective

    Author : Philip Peck; Internationella miljöinstitutet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; polymers; vehicles; ELV; extended producer responsibility; chemical recycling; material cycling; material flows; closed-loop recycling; Industrial Ecology; recycling; aluminium.; Environmental technology; pollution control; Miljöteknik; kontroll av utsläpp;

    Abstract : Many anthropogenically-produced or beneficiated materials contained in “end-of-life” products retain a great proportion of the invested manufacturing work when discarded. Very few such materials are reconstituted and applied in new products at the same material inherent quality level as in their first lifetime – a process known as “closed-loop recycling”. READ MORE

  5. 3. Making Sense of Extended Producer Responsibility: Towards a framework for policy transfer

    Author : Panate Manomaivibool; Internationella miljöinstitutet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Extended producer responsibility EPR ; Waste electrical and electronic equipment WEEE ; End-of-life vehicle ELV ; Policy transfer; Programme evaluation; Product policy; Waste management; Recycling;

    Abstract : Policy transfer of complex interventions often falls into the trap of uninformed, incomplete, and/or inappropriate transfer because the interventions are insufficiently identified with some of their perceived core components. This is no exception in the interspatial learning about extended producer responsibility (EPR) programmes. READ MORE

  6. 4. Novel host defence mechanisms during bacterial infections

    Author : Malin Elvén; Lund Dermatologi och venereologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ApoE; Complement System; TFPI-2; Antimicrobial peptides; AMP; Immunolgobulins; endotoxins; Staphylococcus aureus; Pseudomonas aeruginosa; Escheria coli;

    Abstract : The immune system has evolved through thousands of years and its architecture has challenged the medical field since the first hieroglyphs and will likely continue do so. With our co-evolution with millions of other species, the complexity to treat infectious diseases has been a race in increasing speed ever since. READ MORE

  7. 5. Innovating Recycling of End-of-Life Cars

    Author : Magnus Andersson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; End-of-Life; Scarce Metal; Material Flow Analysis; Vehicle; Technological Innovation System; Car; Critical Material; Recycling;

    Abstract : There are currently a billion cars in use worldwide, and car design trends point at increasing variety in material utilisation. Cars today contain several types of steel and aluminium, an assortment of textiles and padding materials, and an increasing amount of polymers and scarce metals. READ MORE
