  2. 1. Reducing household waste : A social practice perspective on Swedish household waste prevention

    Author : Mimmi Bissmont; Kerstin Sandell; Hans Bertil Wittgren; Malmö universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : This thesis studies household waste prevention from a social scienceperspective. Swedish waste management is efficient in handling wastebut has not succeeded in reducing its quantities, even though theissue of waste prevention is being raised at both international andnational levels.

  4. 2. Environmental Implications of Product Servicising. - The Case of Outsourced Computing Utilities

    Author : Andrius Plepys; Internationella miljöinstitutet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; life cycle assessment; electronics; computers; semiconductors; server-based computing; Application Service Provision.; Commercial and industrial economics; Industriell ekonomi; Electronics; Dematerialisation; product servicising; Elektronik;

    Abstract : The life cycle of electronic products is associated with significant environmental impacts. Compared to many other products, the production of electronics and in particular semiconductors is resource intensive and generates a number of highly toxic waste streams in manufacturing and post-consumer stages of product life cycle.

  6. 4. Stretchable electronics using wood-based functional materials

    Author : Mohsen Mohammadi; Klas Tybrandt; Magnus Berggren; Martin Kaltenbrunner; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Stretchable electronics; Wood-based functional materials; Cellulose nanofibrils; Lignosulfonate; Sustainable electronics;

    Abstract : Stretchable electronics allows for direct integration into deforming systems like clothing, skin, and tissue, thereby enabling novel applications in soft robotics, wearable electronics, health monitoring, therapeutics, and human-machine interfaces. However, achieving seamless integration with the human body poses significant challenges, necessitating the development of functional materials with a low Young’s modulus matching biological tissues to avoid any discomfort or immune response.
