Future disposal surge
This study quantifies external thermal insulation composite systems (ETICS), in particular expanded polystyrene (EPS) as the insulation layer, installed in Germany between 1969 and 2022. Employing a bottom‐up approach, it conducts mass quantification, localization at the NUTS‐3 level, determination of installation years, and prediction of future waste for both ETICS in general and EPS ETICS specifically. The methodology involves categorizing the …
How do political steering instruments influence the integration of chemical recycling into plastic recycling networks? A case study for Germany
A steadily increasing plastic production requires the treatment of ever greater amounts of plastic waste. Plastic waste that is unsuitable for mechanical recycling is incinerated in Europe, generating large amounts of CO 2 . Chemical recycling of such plastic waste offers an alternative to reduce the climate change impact (CCI) of plastic waste treatment and contributes toward closing the plastic loop. This paper presents a strategic location opt…
Evaluation of the potential of infrastructure funds
Given the critical need for sustainable transportation solutions, inland waterways (IWs) constitute a crucial yet underfunded mode of transport. This study examines deficiencies in current infrastructure funding and analyzes infrastructure funds (IFs) as an alternative funding mechanism and potential means to revitalize German waterways. Central to this investigation is the analysis of the German population's willingness to pay (WTP) for such fun…
Economic and environmental assessment of automotive plastic waste end‐of‐life options
Most automotive plastic waste (APW) is landfilled or used in energy recovery as it is unsuitable for high‐quality product mechanical recycling. Chemical recycling via pyrolysis offers a pathway toward closing the material loop by handling this heterogeneous waste and providing feedstock for producing virgin plastics. This study compares chemical recycling and energy recovery scenarios for APW regarding climate change impact and cumulative energy …
Application of collaborative serious gaming for the elicitation of expert knowledge and towards creating Situation Awareness in the field of infrastructure resilience
On the effects of authorities’ disaster interventions in Public-Private Emergency Collaborations
The attitude of the population towards company engagement in Public–Private Emergency Collaborations and its risk perception — A survey
Governmental actors benefit from collaboration with companies in emergencies. Even though there are good reasons for companies to support state disaster response, research on so-called Public–Private Emergency Collaborations (PPEC) is still rare. In particular, companies are currently unable to assess to what extent the population values their involvement in such PPECs. We characterize corporate social responsibility (CSR) concepts, emergency coo…
Techno‐economic assessment and comparison of different plastic recycling pathways
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions need to be reduced to limit global warming. Plastic production requires carbon raw materials and energy that are associated today with predominantly fossil raw materials and fossil GHG emissions. Worldwide, the plastic demand is increasing annually by 4%. Recycling technologies can help save or reduce GHG emissions, but they require comparative assessment. Thus, we assess mechanical recycling, chemical recycling by …
The link between product service lifetime and GHG emissions
The production, use, and final disposal of goods are directly linked to various environmental impacts caused along their supply chains and over their entire life cycles. When assessing these impacts for energy‐consuming products such as consumer electronics, not only the emissions caused during production but also the energy consumption during the use phase need to be taken into account in order to provide a holistic view on environmental impacts…

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…
A composite indicator model to assess natural disaster risks in industry on a spatial level
In the event of natural disasters, industrial production sites can be affected by both direct physical damage and indirect damage. The indirect damage, which often exceeds the direct ones in value, mainly arises from business interruptions resulting from the impairment of information and material flows as well as from domino effects in interlaced supply chains. The importance of industry for society and the domino effects often result in severe e…
Intercompany Energy Integration
Reusing heat through process integration in heat exchanger networks has long been a key measure for increasing energy efficiency in energy‐intensive industries. Thermal pinch analysis is commonly used for a systematic matching of process streams and thus planning of optimal process integration in large chemical plants. The possible savings increase with the amount of heat and the number of integrated process streams. Therefore co‐ siting of sever…
