Accelerating the transition from a linear to a circular healthcare sector
Due to the significant environmental impact of healthcare, there is an urgent need to accelerate its circular transition. We provide an overview of the ESCH-R project study design and methodology for accelerating the transition from a linear to a circular healthcare sector through the development and implementation of circular interventions in the Netherlands. Using a transdisciplinary approach, we will apply the 10-R ladder framework for a circu…
Inclusive intent, instrumental outcomes
This paper examines the motivations driving stakeholder participation in 20 Solar Power Plant (SPP) projects in Gelderland, the Netherlands. Using a framework for participation rationales, we analyse how SPP developers' normative (strengthening democracy), substantive (improving the quality of decisions), and instrumental (efficiency-driven) motivations shape their design and practice of public participation. By comparing participation policies w…
Normalizing novel sanitation practices in transitioning towards circular food and energy systems
Wastewater from sanitation contains several scarce resources that can be reused for purposes of energy and food production. Sanitation infrastructures, however, are often overlooked in debates on circular food systems, while the role of sanitation could be pivotal in combatting resource depletion facing agriculture. Transitioning sanitation infrastructures to support circular systems also needs a thorough understanding of the sanitation practices…
Co-production in the wind energy sector
Public concerns surrounding landscape conservation, noise pollution and impacts on bird populations are commonly incorporated into the planning phase of wind energy projects. However, public involvement tends to be highly localized and procedural, aimed at informing local stakeholders and gaining their acceptance for implementation. At the same time, other ways of engaging the public have emerged that move beyond invited stakeholder participation…
Digital twinning as an act of governance in the wind energy sector
Digital twins have emerged as novel technology in the wind energy sector that enables the design, monitoring and prediction of wind turbine performance. Despite growing attention on their potential, little is known about how digital twins are designed, by whom and how their design choices affect multiple aspects of decision making in the development of wind energy. Using a framework of co-production, this paper examines digital twins as boundary …
What could go wrong with cooking? Exploring vulnerability at the water, energy and food Nexus in Kampala through a social practices lens
Energy Devices and Political Consumerism in Reconfigured Energy Systems
This chapter discusses political consumerism in the context of a transformation towards a low-carbon electricity system. Over the past decades, deregulation, liberalisation, and privatisation have opened up spaces for Western consumers to influence the greening of energy provision and consumption via the market. Electricity system reconfiguration means a growing diversity of home-based energy devices that engage consumers with energy in new and a…
Household inclusion in the governance of housing retrofitting
One of the most important governance challenges in terms of energy saving is the physical upgrading of apartment buildings via housing retrofitting. In urban studies, little focus has been applied to the shape and character of the retrofit governance frameworks to realise inclusion of householders. Little is known about how these different frameworks, and the systems of provision they represent, impact on householders to achieve energy saving in …
Energy Efficient Housing through Organized Interactions? Conceptualizing the Roles of Householders and Providers in Housing Retrofitting in the Netherlands and China
Energy saving is an explicit goal of housing retrofitting in both the Netherlands and China. Retrofit providers expect to achieve this goal by applying insulation to apartment buildings and improvements in heating, cooling and ventilation. The aim of this paper is to explore both conceptually and empirically the interactions between householders and retrofit providers. Interaction activities are conceptualized in a framework of overlapping practi…
Is urban agriculture urban green space? A comparison of policy arrangements for urban green space and urban agriculture in Santiago de Chile
Structural conditions for and against sustainable ways of consuming
This chapter explains the stock of social scientific research on consumption that involves the utilization of what we call infrastructures of consumption. It also focuses on research that uses Social Practice Theory as a lens to study the dynamic relationships between conduct, meaning and systems of water and energy provision. The chapter then illustrates the dynamics in practices of toilet use and medicine use in an experimental case study invol…
When social practices meet smart grids
This article seeks to analyse recent shifts in goals concerning domestic energy uses. Drawing on two Dutch smart grid projects, we observe that in the smart grid transition the balancing of (renewable) supply and demand in energy grids becomes the key priority of grid managers. This shift becomes translated at the household level through so called ‘teleoaffective structures’ of energy practices which motivate and direct the behaviour of household…

Differentiation and Ecological Modernization in Water and Electricity Provision and Consumption
This paper deals with environmental innovation in practices of water and electricity provision and consumption in an era of rapid change in the regulation of water and electricity systems and patterns of consumption. Liberalization of former utility sectors offers windows of opportunity to differentiate former uniform water and electricity provision in green services for consumers. The roles of consumers towards water and electricity providers wi…
Lifestyles, consumption and the environment
Ecological modernisation theory has been developed so far mainly with respect to the production sphere. In order to apply the theory to the sphere of consumption, it needs to be enriched with some of the central concepts from the sociology of consumption. What results is a contextual model of (domestic) consumption which combines an actor‐oriented approach with a system‐of‐provision perspective of consumer behaviour. In conclusion, the relevance …
