1. 11. Assessing Mineral Resource Scarcity in a Circular Economy Context

   Författare :Hampus André; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; resource-efficiency; area of protection - natural resources; electric and electronic equipment; supply risk; scarce metals; criticality assessment; material flow analysis; life cycle assessment; circular economy; complex products;

   Sammanfattning : Due to humanity’s dependence on metal resources there are growing concerns regarding impacts related to their potential scarcity, both for current and future generations. The vision of a more circular economy suggests that extending the functional use of metals through measures aiming for resource-efficiency (RE) such as increasing technical lifetime, repairing and recycling could reduce mineral resource scarcity.

3. 12. Emergence and Dynamics of Circular Economy Ecosystem

   Författare :Ida Eyi Heathcote-Fumador; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Digital Technologies; business ecosystem; circular economy ecosystem; ecosystem renewal; residual resources; strategy; knowledge appropriation; management;

   Sammanfattning : The circular economy ecosystem (CEE) offers the potential to effectively manage the pressing issue of residual resources, encompassing waste and by-products that pose a challenge to our planet. Among various organizational forms, the ecosystem approach has emerged as the preferred method, fostering cross-industry collaboration to sustainably address residual resources. LÄS MER

4. 13. Circular Business Model Design : Business Opportunities from Retaining Value of Products and Materials

   Författare :Julia L.K. Nußholz; Internationella miljöinstitutet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Circular Economy; business model innovation; circular business model; Resource efficiency; Reuse; Life cycle management; Value creation; sustainability assessment; Circular business model tools;

   Sammanfattning : Today our economy is largely based on linear material flows, and many products, such as electronics, furniture,building materials and textiles, are discarded even when they could still be used. Without urgent action, globalwaste is expected to increase by 70% by 2060 and global materials use is expected to more than double. LÄS MER

5. 14. Adaptive Design for Circular Business Models in the Automotive Manufacturing Industry

   Författare :Thomas Nyström; RISE; []
   Nyckelord :Circular Business Models; Product Service System; Business and Design Logic; Circular Economy; Design for Circular Business Models;

   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

7. 15. Circular Business Models that Extend Product Value : Going Beyond Recycling to Create New Circular Business Opportunities

   Författare :Katherine Whalen; Internationella miljöinstitutet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; circular business model; product life extension; obsolescence; circular economy; business model; reuse; repair; refurbishment; sustainability strategies; sustainability education;

   Sammanfattning : Over the past ten years, significant industry, policy, and scientific attention has been given to the ‘circular economy’, which aims to create a more sustainable society by decoupling economic growth from resource consumption. Firms are expected to play a significant role in the shift to a circular economy model by implementing circular business models that encourage prolonged use of products, components, and materials.
