  • Lessons, narratives, and research directions for a sustainable circular economy

    Open AccessSina Leipold, Anna Petit‐Boix et al.ARTICLEJournal of Industrial Ecology2023

    The current enthusiasm for the circular economy (CE) offers a unique opportunity to advance the impact of research on sustainability transitions. Diverse interpretations of CE by scholars, however, produce partly opposing assessments of its potential benefits, which can hinder progress. Here, we synthesize policy‐relevant lessons and research directions for a sustainable CE and identify three narratives—optimist, reformist, and skeptical—that und…

  • Spatial perspectives enhance modeling of nanomaterial risks

    Open AccessElizabeth A Moore, Callie W Babbitt et al.ARTICLEJournal of Industrial Ecology2020

    Novel engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) are increasingly being manufactured and integrated into renewable energy generation and storage technologies. Past research estimated the potential impact of this increased demand on environmental systems, due to both the life cycle impact of ENM production and the potential for their direct release into ecosystems. However, many models treat ENM production and use as spatially implicit, without considering t…

  • Dematerialization and the Circular Economy

    Open AccessBarbara V Kasulaitis, Callie W Babbitt et al.ARTICLEJournal of Industrial Ecology2019

    The rapid technological evolution and adoption of consumer electronics highlights a growing need for adaptive methodologies to evaluate material consumption at the intersection of technological change and increasing consumption. While dematerialization and the circular economy (CE) have both been proposed to mitigate increasing material consumption, recent research has shown that these methods may be ineffective at achieving net material use redu…

  • Eco‐Efficiency Analysis of a Lithium‐Ion Battery Waste Hierarchy Inspired by Circular Economy

    Open AccessKirti Richa, Callie W Babbitt et al.ARTICLEJournal of Industrial Ecology2017

    A circular economy (CE)‐inspired waste management hierarchy was proposed for end‐of‐life (EOL) lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) from electric vehicles (EVs). Life cycle eco‐efficiency metrics were then applied to evaluate potential environmental and economic trade‐offs that may result from managing 1,000 end‐of‐life EV battery packs in the United States according to this CE hierarchy. Results indicate that if technology and markets support reuse of L…

  • Community Ecology Perspectives on the Structural and Functional Evolution of Consumer Electronics

    Open AccessErinn G Ryen, Callie W Babbitt et al.ARTICLEJournal of Industrial Ecology2014

    This article describes how biological ecology models are adapted to analyze the dynamic structure and function of a consumer electronic product “community.” Treating an entire group of interdependent and continually evolving electronic devices as an ecological community provides a basis for more comprehensive analyses of the energy, material, and waste flows associated with household consumption than would be possible using conventional per produ…
