Metals are increasingly demanded for their specific properties as modern technology develops. READ MORE

4. 2. Towards a Sustainable Resource Management A Broader Systems Approach to Product Design and Waste Management

   University dissertation from Stockholm : KTH Royal Institute of Technology

   Author : Jagdeep Singh; Björn Frostell; William Hogland; [2013]
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Resource Management; Product Design; Waste Management Challenges; Systems Thinking; Sustainability Science; Industriell ekologi; Industrial Ecology;

   Abstract : Rapid economic growth, urbanisation and increasing population have caused (materially intensive) resource consumption to increase, and consequently the release of large amounts of waste to the environment. Numerous technological and operational approaches to resource management have been introduced throughout the system of production, consumption and waste management. READ MORE

5. 3. GETTING MORE OUT OF THE AFTERLIFE

   University dissertation from Stockholm : KTH Royal Institute of Technology
