  1. 16. Governing the Green Economy Transition : Public Opinion, Political Parties, and Environmental Outcomes

    Författare :Sanna Lundquist; Andreas Duit; Lisa Dellmuth; Malcolm Fairbrother; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Green economy; green transition; green growth; emissions; environmental governance; environmental policy; public opinion; private environmental governance; statsvetenskap; Political Science;

    Sammanfattning : The green economy presents an attractive framework for how economic growth can continue without harming the environment and promises to deliver more resource efficient, less carbon intensive, less environmentally damaging, and more socially inclusive societies. Over the past fifteen years, the idea of a green economy transition as a means to reconcile economic, environmental and social goals has gained traction among a wide range of policy-making organizations and is incorporated in policy agendas at national and global scales.

  4. 18. Resource modelling in a circular economy context

    Författare :Harald Helander; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; indicators; Circular economy; resources; dynamic material flow analysis;

    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

  5. 19. Application of aerobic granular sludge for municipal wastewater treatment - Process performance and microbial community dynamics under fluctuating conditions

    Författare :Jennifer Ekholm; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; energy usage; aerobic granular sludge; sequencing batch reactors; granulation; municipal wastewater treatment; nutrient removal; start-up; microbial community dynamics; full-scale operation; low temperature; activated sludge;

    Sammanfattning : Pressures of growing cities, competition for use of urban areas and higher influent loads, are pushing for innovative technologies for wastewater treatment with low demands for land footprint and costs. Furthermore, wastewater treatment is needed to move towards a circular economy by harvest of valuable resources such as nutrients and energy. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Valorisation of heterogeneous industrial residues towards a circular economy : A systems-oriented investigation on how to facilitate shredder fines valorisation in the Swedish context

    Författare :Tharaka Gunaratne; Joakim Krook; Hans Andersson; Jouni Korhonen; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Circular economy; Systems analysis; Valorisation; Resource recovery;

    Sammanfattning : In the context of circular economy in the European region the role of the recycling industry has become ever important. Shredder fines (or fines) is a heterogeneous fine-granular production residue of the shredding industry, and is currently disposed of. Shredder fines presents a disposal problem and incurs handling costs to the shredding industry. LÄS MER
