  2. 11. Beyond Waste Management : Challenges to Sustainable Global Physical Resource Management

    Author : Jagdeep Singh; Björn Frostell; Olga Kordas; Anju Singh; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Sustainable global physical resource management; global waste management; systems thinking; life cycle thinking; planning framework; global environmental justice; circular economy; Industrial Ecology; Industriell ekologi;

    Abstract : Current physical resource management (PRM) was investigated in a global perspective in this thesis, to gain a deeper understanding of its implications in a sustainability perspective. In particular, the main challenges to the current PRM system and the kinds of systemic changes needed for sustainable PRM were examined. READ MORE

  4. 12. Exploring textiles as materials for interaction design

    Author : Anna Persson; Högskolan i Borås; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; interaction; design; textiles; materials; Textiles and fashion; Textiles and Fashion General ; Textil och mode generell ;

    Abstract : As computational technology and new materials enter the world of textiles, our view on textile materials is challenged. Textile interaction design suggests a new design space in which the fields of textile design and interaction design are merged. READ MORE

    Abstract : Cellulosabaserade material är världens rikligast förekommande förnyelsebara råvara. Växters cellväggar är naturliga kompositmaterial där den kristallina cellulosan är inbäddad i en väv av hemicellulosa, strukturproteiner och lignin. READ MORE

  6. 14. Adaptive Design for Circular Business Models in the Automotive Manufacturing Industry

    Author : Thomas Nyström; RISE; []
    Keywords : Circular Business Models; Product Service System; Business and Design Logic; Circular Economy; Design for Circular Business Models;

    Abstract : The vision of a circular economy (CE) promises both profitability and eco-sustainability to industries, and can, from a material and energy resource flow perspective, be operationalized by combining three business and design strategies: closing loops; narrowing and slowing down resource flows by material recycling, improving resource efficiency; and by extending product life by reuse, upgrades and remanufacturing. These three strategies are straightforward ways for industries to radically reduce their use of virgin resources. READ MORE
