    Abstract : Increased attention is nowadays devoted to waste management. The objective of this work is to analyse how commonly known business economic models and methods, as well as the Polluter-Pays Principle, can be applied to waste management in general and to waste fractionation in particular, so as to facilitate environmental optimisation of industrial and construction waste fractionation.

  5. 3. The green engineer as an enabler of life-cycle management in manufacturing: models and practices

    Author : Birger Löfgren; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; discrete-event simulation; life-cycle assessment; operation management; decision making; practice studies; environmental management;

    Abstract : The last 20 years corporate environmental management has developed from pollution control and emission prevention, to include a greater responsibility for indirect environmental issues along the whole product life cycle. This thesis aims at providing a better understanding of how such environmental life-cycle management can be applied on manufacturing processes. READ MORE

  6. 4. Industrial Ecology Approaches to Improve Metal Management : Three Modeling Experiments

    Author : Rajib Sinha; Björn Frostell; Maria Malmström; Amir Rashid; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; system dynamics; element flow analysis; industrial ecology; product systems; end-of-life; DPSIR; pressure-based driver-oriented approach; environmental management; Industrial Ecology; Industriell ekologi;

    Abstract : A linear model of consumption − produce-use-dispose − has constantly increased the pressure on the environment in recent decades. There has been a great belief that technology will solve the problem, but in many cases it is only partly contributing to the solution. For a full solution, the root causes of problems need to be identified. READ MORE

  7. 5. Sustainable management of dredged sediments : potential recovery of valuable compounds

    Author : Laura Ferrans; William Hogland; Monica Odlare; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Dredged sediments; nutrients; metals; speciation; recovery; characterisation; beneficial use; life cycle assessment; extraction; plant-growing substrate; circular economy; Miljövetenskap; Environmental Science;

    Abstract : Dredging of sediments occurs worldwide to increase water depth in harbours, bays, lakes and rivers, as well as to recover aquatic ecosystems. Landfilling and open-ocean discharge are traditional disposal routes for dredged material. However, the methods are restricted by environmental and legal concerns. READ MORE
