2. 21. Carbon materials: towards a circular economy through thermochemical recycling of mixed waste

   Author : Isabel Cañete Vela; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; circular economy; recycling; mixed waste; thermochemical; carbon materials;

   Abstract : Carbon materials, such as paper, wood, plastic and textiles, play an important role in our everyday life, from clothes and packaging to infrastructure. However, the use of those materials follows a linear way. We take carbon resources, we make products, and we discharge them in a short amount of time, producing GHG emissions along its supply chain.

4. 22. Carbon materials: towards a circular economy through thermochemical recycling of mixed waste

   Author : Isabel Cañete Vela; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; plastic waste; circular economy; thermochemical recycling; mixed waste; recycling; Carbon materials; steam cracking;

   Abstract : Carbon-containing materials, such as paper, wood, plastic, and textiles, are essential for our daily lives, being used in everything from clothing to infrastructure. However, their use typically follows a linear pattern, in that we extract carbon resources, create products, and eventually dispose of them, thereby contributing to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions throughout the supply chain.

5. 23. From resource efficiency to resource conservation : Studies, developments and recommendations for industrial implementation of circular manufacturing systems

   Author : Michael Lieder; Amir Rashid; Tomohiko Sakao; KTH; []
   Keywords : Circular economy; Circular manufacturing systems; Resource conservative manufacturing; ResCoM; Agent-based modelling; Multi-method modelling; Production Engineering; Industriell produktion;

   Abstract : Manufacturing industry is under permanent pressure to maintain its economic growth and profitability as strong societal backbone. At the same time pressures of waste generation and resource consumption are increasing as result of manufacturing operations. READ MORE

6. 24. Towards a circular home: Exploring opportunities for design to support households in sustainable resource use

   Author : Sofie Hagejärd; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; design for sustainability; thermal comfort; smart energy systems; social practice theory; circular product design; circular economy; demand-side management;

   Abstract : Our use of natural resources has grown dramatically in recent years, with negative consequences for both the environment and human health. At home, resource use in the form of energy, water, food, and material objects may be related to a wide range of everyday practices as well as changes to, and adaptations of, our home environments.

7. 25. Pursuing a Circular Economy in the Danish Waste Sector : Scale and Transition Dynamics in Transformative Innovation Policy

   Author : Stine Madsen; Institutionen för kulturgeografi och ekonomisk geografi; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Transformative innovation policy; Scale; Transition dynamics; Waste management; Multi-scalar governance; Sustainability transition; circular economy;

   Abstract : The overall aim of this thesis is to advance the conceptual understanding of transformative innovation policy through empirical research focusing on the transition towards a circular economy in the Danish waste sector. Under this broad aim, the thesis is more specifically concerned with exploring issues relating to the geography of transformative innovation policy as well as transition dynamics and agency in socio-technical system change.
