1. Towards a Circular Economy with Environmental Product Policy : Considering dynamics in closing and slowing material loops for lighting products
Sammanfattning : A Circular Economy (CE) can help to achieve the sustainable development goal of responsible consumption and production. Product policies, in turn, can support CE objectives by promoting reuse of products, recycling of materials, and providing ecodesign incentives for more durable products. LÄS MER
2. Industrial Symbiosis in the Biofuel Industry : Quantification of the Environmental Performance and Identification of Synergies
Sammanfattning : The production of biofuels has increased in recent years, to reduce the dependence on fossil fuels and mitigate climate change. However, current production practices are heavily criticized on their environmental sustainability. LÄS MER
3. The Karma of Products : Exploring the Causality of Environmental Pressure with Causal Loop Diagram and Environmental Footprint
Sammanfattning : Environmental pressures from consumer products and mechanisms of predetermination were examined in this thesis using causal loop diagram (CLD) and life cycle assessment (LCA) footprinting to respectively illustrate and provide some indicators about these mechanisms. Theoretical arguments and their practical implications were subjected to qualitative and quantitative analysis, using secondary and primary data. LÄS MER
4. Determinants of Corporate Environmental Information Management -Analytical Framework and Case Studies
Sammanfattning : Information about the environmental impact of production and products is a prerequisite to any attempt to mitigate environmental impact, either in production or in the choices of end consumers. There are however known problems regarding corporate environmental information management. LÄS MER
5. Repair or replace? Guidance from indicators and life cycle assessment on circular economy strategies for energy-using products
Sammanfattning : Various circular economy (CE) strategies, such as use extension with repair or reuse, have been suggested as a means for addressing the increasing resource and environmental footprint of society. To identify effective CE strategies, companies or policy makers seek guidance from the evaluation of resource use and environmental impact of alternatives that introduce different CE strategies to product systems.
