Life cycle assessment of snow farming
Snow farming secures early-season training on-snow and competitions for cross-country skiing disciplines under accelerating climate change and variability. Snow technically produced under favorable conditions in the preceding season is stored and covered over summer until the following season. Lacking scientific research, this is the first study addressing its resource consumption and impact. The environmental impact, including its carbon footpri…
Assessing the influence of flexible design on environmental sustainability assessment results – a case study from timber housing
Improving sustainability in the construction industry is a key challenge. One widely discussed strategy for achieving this is flexible design. Although the concept of flexibility is open to interpretation, there is a broad consensus that it leads to buildings being used longer and in more intensive ways. However, this requires acceptance and a positive perception of the buildings by their users. Consequently, we consider stakeholder preferences d…
A new circular economy conception for sustainable product design
The design phase has a significant impact on a product's environmental footprint. To design sustainable products effectively, designers can make use of concepts from circular economy (CE) research. A plethora of conceptions of the CE (CECs) with links to sustainable product design can be found in the literature; however, we argue that they are incomplete and thereby miss effectiveness in enabling circular and sustainable product design. The aim o…
Advancing Sustainable Development in the Ghanaian e‐Waste Sector
Ghana is a major e‐waste treatment hotspot in the Global South, dominated by the informal sector (IFS). There, sustainable development goals (SDGs) like good health and well‐being, no poverty, or sustainable communities remain an area of concern. Therefore, the present study aims at contributing to sustainable development in the Ghanaian IFS. To do so, for the first time, we apply the system dynamics methodology to the Ghanaian e‐waste context. T…
Towards Sustainable e‐Waste Practices
Electronic waste (e‐waste) from mobile phones is a growing concern in resource‐constrained contexts, where limited infrastructure and regulatory enforcement promote reliance on informal systems. In Ghana, a rapidly expanding digital market, e‐waste accumulation poses significant environmental and social challenges. This study investigates the behavioral drivers behind mobile phone disposal using the Value‐Belief‐Norm (VBN) theory and aims to exte…
Unpacking the path toward a sustainable circular economy through industrial ecology
As the global environmental and climate crisis is accelerating and more and more planetary boundaries are crossed (Richardson et al., 2023), transformative approaches addressing “all aspects of society” (IPCC, 2022) are needed. The circular economy (CE) aims to be a systems-based transformative approach, which is shaping global debates, policy, business innovation, and research worldwide. “concept [of Industrial Ecology] requires that an industri…
A consequential approach to life cycle sustainability assessment with an agent‐based model to determine the potential contribution of chemical recycling to UN Sustainable Development Goals
Chemical recycling (CR) could support a circular approach for municipal solid waste (MSW) treatment. In promoting the recirculation of recyclable carbon-containing waste as secondary feedstock for chemical production, it could contribute to resource conservation, emissions reduction, and supply security. To evaluate CR's contribution to the transition from a linear to a circular carbon economy—and correspondingly to the achievement of environment…
Cost versus environment? Combined life cycle, techno‐economic, and circularity assessment of silicon‐ and perovskite‐based photovoltaic systems
Photovoltaics will play a key role in future energy systems, but their full potential may not be realized until their life cycles are optimized for circularity and overall sustainability. Methods that quantify flows of compound and minor element mixtures, rather than non-mixed elemental flows, are needed to prospectively analyze and predict inventory and performance for complex technology life cycles. This study utilizes process simulation to res…
A Material Flow‐based Approach to Enhance Resource Efficiency in Production and Recycling Networks
Resource and energy efficiency are key strategies for production and recycling networks. They can contribute to more sustainable industrial production and can help cope with challenges such as competition, rising resource and energy prices, greenhouse gas emissions reduction, and scarce and expensive landfill space. In pursuit of these objectives, further enhancements of single processes are often technologically sophisticated and expensive due t…
