Measuring the impact of urban morphology on residential energy consumption at the neighborhood-level in the Netherlands
In the Netherlands, the residential sector accounts for 16.8% of national energy use, mostly from natural gas. Current policies and standards aimed at reducing residential energy consumption mainly focus on improving the performance of buildings and appliances. The critical role of urban morphology in moderating microclimate by cooling surrounding areas and shielding buildings from solar radiation has been demonstrated, particularly in hot-summer…
Projecting temperature-related mortality impacts at urban scale under climate scenarios
Global warming and resulting extreme weather patterns are expected to substantially increase temperature-related mortality, with urban populations especially at risk due to high density, rapid urbanization, and the urban heat island effect. While projections of the climate-health impacts in urban contexts have proliferated in the literature, systematic evaluation of methodological approaches underpinning the studies remains limited. Understanding…
An open-source regionalization approach for subnational Eemrio insights and proof-of-concept application to EU steel circularity
Environmentally extended multi-regional input–output (EEMRIO) analysis provides a robust methodology for assessing economic, social, and environmental footprints across nations and regions. Increasing its geographical resolution is essential for addressing local environmental issues and informing targeted policy decisions. While subnational EEMRIOs ideally rely on survey data, such data are often unavailable or resource-intensive to process. As a…
Accounting for learning in prospective LCA
Learning is important for the development of industrially deployed technologies, and learning curves have been used to determine future production costs. Although the effect of learning on costs has been extensively studied, little evidence exists for its effect on environmental impacts, and a conceptual underpinning is lacking. Based on a review of theoretical foundations and empirical evidence, this study presents a procedure for assessing lear…

Developing a material flow monitor for the Netherlands from national statistical data
Effective monitoring of national circular economy policies requires consistent, national databases of material flows and environmental impacts. Yet, databases and indicators developed so far are scattered and inconsistent. To tackle this problem, Statistics Netherlands (CBS) developed a material flow monitor (MFM) that integrates existing statistics using principles of the System of Environmental Economic Accounting (SEEA). The MFM is the physica…
Data implementation matters
Life cycle assessment (LCA) databases and software evolve. We analyzed to which extent software and evolving life cycle inventory databases affect the comparison of technology alternatives, using a comparative LCA on permanent magnets as a case study, with two selected software tools: CMLCA and Brightway LCA. We migrated the system models from the CMLCA to Brightway LCA software and alternated between the ecoinvent database versions 2.2 and 3.1 t…

How do carbon footprints from LCA and Eeioa databases compare? A comparison of ecoinvent and Exiobase
Life cycle assessment (LCA) and environmentally extended input output analysis (EEIOA) are two widely used approaches to assess the environmental impacts of products and services with the aim of providing decision support. Here, we compare carbon footprint (CF) results for products and services in the ecoinvent 3.4 cut-off and the hybrid version of EXIOBASE. While we find that there is good agreement for certain sectors, more than half of the mat…
The future of artificial intelligence in the context of industrial ecology
Artificial intelligence (AI) applications and digital technologies (DTs) are increasingly present in the daily lives of citizens, in cities and in industries. These developments generate large amounts of data and enhance analytical capabilities that could benefit the industrial ecology (IE) community and sustainability research in general. With this communication, we would like to address some of the opportunities, challenges, and next steps that…

Global distribution of material inflows to in‐use stocks in 2011 and its implications for a circularity transition
Around 40% of global raw materials that are extracted every year accumulate as in-use stocks in the form of buildings, infrastructure, transport equipment, and other durable goods. Material inflows to in-use stocks are a key component in the circularity transition, since the reintegration of those materials back into the economy, at the end of the stock's life cycle, means that less extraction of raw materials is required. Thus, understanding the…
Global environmental and socio‐economic impacts of a transition to a circular economy in metal and electrical products
Shifting from a linear to a circular economy could decouple environmental footprints from an ever growing global GDP. As footprints are increasingly driven by international trade, such a shift in a national economy would have global implications. In this study, we explore the global environmental and socio-economic impacts of hypothetical circular policy interventions affecting the consumption of metal and electrical products in the Netherlands. …
Modeling the circular economy in environmentally extended input–output
Global environmental and resource problems ask for new ways of managing the production and consumption of resources. The implementation of new paradigms, such as the circular economy, requires decision‐makers at multiple levels to make complex decisions. For this, clear analyses and modeling of scenarios are of utmost importance. Meanwhile, as the sophistication of databases and models increases so does the need for user‐friendly tools to use the…
Negative-emissions technology portfolios to meet the 1.5 °C target
Our carbon-intensive economy has led to an average temperature rise of 1 °C since pre-industrial times. As a consequence, the world has seen increasing droughts, significant shrinking of the polar ice caps, and steady sea-level rise. To stall these issues’ worsening further, we must limit global warming to 1.5 °C. In addition to the economy’s decarbonization, this endeavour requires the use of negative-emissions technologies (NETs) that remove th…
Life cycle greenhouse gas emission and cost analysis of prefabricated concrete building façade elements
Buildings are responsible for approximately 36% of carbon emissions in the European Union. Besides, gradual aging and a lack of adaptability and flexibility of buildings often lead to destructive interventions, resulting not only in higher costs but also in a large amount of construction and demolition waste (CDW). Recently, an innovative system (Ref. VEEP project) has been developed to recycle CDW for the manufacturing of energy‐efficient prefab…
When the Background Matters
Prospective life cycle assessment (LCA) needs to deal with the large epistemological uncertainty about the future to support more robust future environmental impact assessments of technologies. This study proposes a novel approach that systematically changes the background processes in a prospective LCA based on scenarios of an integrated assessment model (IAM), the IMAGE model. Consistent worldwide scenarios from IMAGE are evaluated in the life …

Modeling copper demand in China up to 2050
In this paper, we develop a dynamic stock model and scenario analysis involving a bottom‐up approach to analyze copper demand in China from 2005 to 2050 based on government and related sectoral policies. The results show that in the short‐term, China's copper industry cannot achieve a completely circular economy without additional measures. Aggregate and per capita copper demand are both set to increase substantially, especially in infrastructure…
Life Cycle Assessment of Food Systems
The production and consumption of food are responsible for serious environmental degradation. Given the nature of the global economy, the impacts of food are dispersed over the full extent of the planet because food commodities may travel long distances from production to consumption. In this Primer, we introduce the principles of life cycle assessment (LCA), which allows for the assessment of the global extent of the inputs, outputs, and potenti…

Using a recently developed framework, we assessed animal welfare at a large scale d Many countries face trade-offs between nutrition, environment, and animal welfare d Win-win-wins are possible for dietary changes but rarely realized d There is a need to carefully revise dietary guidelines
Trade-offs between social and environmental Sustainable Development Goals
The UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) aim to improve the lives of people, increase prosperity, and protect the planet. Given the large number of goals, interactions are inevitable. We analyse the interaction between two social goals (related to SDG1 Poverty and SDG10 Inequality) and three environmental goals (related to SDG13 Carbon, SDG15 Land, and SDG6 Water). We use a trade-linked, consumption-based approach to assess interactions i…

The precautionary principle and epidemiology
By its nature, epidemiological science has only a limited ability to judge the need for preventative action, which is a core element of the precautionary principle The precautionary principle is gaining more and more ground as a guideline in environmental policy. Quantitative risk assessment no longer seems sufficient. In point of fact, historical analysis of several debates showed me that different societal groups structurally use different “par…
Chlorine in the Netherlands, Part I, An Overview
Over the last decade debate among environmental pressure groups, industry, and the authorities overthe threat posed by chlorine has become extremely polarized. In response, the Dutch minister of the environment commissioned a strategic study on chlorine. The first phase of the study described in this article, was designed as a substance flow analysis, encompassing some 99% of the flows of chlorinated hydrocarbons (CHC) in the Netherlands. The stu…
Chlorine in the Netherlands, Part II
The debate over chlorine in industrialized economies has become extremely polarized in the last decade. Environmental pressure groups are striving for a virtual phaseout of chlorine and chlorinated hydrocarbons (CHCs), because they are convinced that the risks cannot be managed. Industry argues this is not necessary because environmental risks can be controlled, nor is it feasible, because at least 60% of all firms use CHCs, produds made with CHC…
Combining SFA and LCA
This article describes a method that combines substance flow analysis (SFA) and life‐cycle assessment (LCA). It was used to provide a focus in the heated Swedish polyvinylchloride (PVC) debate. For Sweden's PVC chain, all emissions related to PVC were inventoried and translated into LCA‐theme scores. The theme scores were compared with total theme scores for all Swedish processes and were benchmarked on the basis of PVC's contribution to Sweden's…

Identifying Priorities for Environmental Product Policy
Environmental Impacts of Products
The research and analysis presented in this special issue shows that the same limited number of consumption categories are consistently revealed to be responsible for the largest share of environmental impact: mobility (automobile and air transport), food (meat, poultry, fish, and dairy followed by plant‐based food), and residential energy use in the house (heating, cooling, electrical appliances, and lighting). It appears that differences in imp…
Environmental Impacts of Products
Environmental effects of economic activities are ultimately driven by consumption, via impacts of the production, use, and waste management phases of products and services ultimately consumed. Integrated product policy (IPP) addressing the life‐cycle impacts of products forms an innovative new generation of environmental policy. Yet this policy requires insight into the final consumption expenditures and related products that have the greatest li…
