1. Resource modelling in a circular economy context
Sammanfattning : The concept of the circular economy (CE) is increasingly suggested as a means of reducing environmental impacts and resource use of production and consumption through CE strategies like reuse, remanufacturing, and recycling. However, an increase in “circularity” does not guarantee an improvement in the use of resources over the lifecycle of a product. LÄS MER
2. Circling the Squares : Radical Innovation and Management Control Systems in the Circular Economy
Sammanfattning : An economic system built upon the sale of tangible goods produced using finite resources is inherently unsustainable. The idea of a Circular Economy (CE) as a viable pathway to sustainability has gained considerable attention from academia, policymakers, and the business community. LÄS MER
3. Adaptive Design for Circular Business Models in the Automotive Manufacturing Industry
Sammanfattning : The vision of a circular economy (CE) promises both profitability and eco-sustainability to industries, and can, from a material and energy resource flow perspective, be operationalized by combining three business and design strategies: closing loops; narrowing and slowing down resource flows by material recycling, improving resource efficiency; and by extending product life by reuse, upgrades and remanufacturing. These three strategies are straightforward ways for industries to radically reduce their use of virgin resources. LÄS MER
4. Simulation Modelling of a Shift to Service-Based Offerings : Resource efficiency and operational implications in the context of the circular economy
Sammanfattning : The unsustainable levels of resource use and emissions of our economies and their threat to future generations are core issues of our time. The circular economy (CE) conceptualises a different type of economy that is restorative and regenerative by design and aims to keep products, components and materials at their highest utility and value at all times, distinguishing between technical and biological cycles.

5. Resource efficient products in a circular economy – The case of consumables. From environmental and resource assessment to design guidelines
Sammanfattning : The circular economy (CE) is a concept to challenge the unsustainable production, consumption, and waste management of products, through the recirculation of resources and products through various means while reducing environmental impact. Within this concept, many measures are recommended for reducing environmental impact and resource use. LÄS MER
