Haase, Louise Møller (author), Mugge, R. (author), Mosgaard, Mette Alberg (author), Bocken, Nancy (author), Jaeger-Erben, Melanie (author), Pizzol, Massimo (author), Jørgensen, Michael Søgaard (author)Value preservation is key for the transition from a linear economy to a sufficiency-based circular economy. However, to keep the value of products and materials at the highest level possible over time, different actors such as businesses, designers, consumers, and policymakers must know when value is reduced during a product's lifetime, and how...journal article 2024

Wallner, T.S. (author), Haslbeck, Jonas M.B. (author), Magnier, L.B.M. (author), Mugge, R. (author)Refurbishment can extend the lifetime of an electronic product and reduce its environmental footprint. However, consumers often perceive refurbished electronics as less attractive than new ones, resulting in lower purchase intentions. While prior research has identified several factors that influence consumer choices regarding refurbished...journal article 2024

Polyportis, Athanasios (author), Mugge, R. (author), Magnier, L.B.M. (author)Despite their environmental benefits, products made from recycled materials are not readily adopted. Prior studies focused on improving consumer adoption via product attributes and marketing elements, but the impact of product appearance remains a gap in the literature. This research contributes by investigating how observability of the recycled...journal article 2024

van den Berge, R.B.R. (author), Magnier, L.B.M. (author), Mugge, R. (author)Current production and consumption patterns of consumer electronics have a negative impact on our environment. Designers can contribute to changing these patterns with more sustainable product design. Prolonging product lifetimes can have a positive impact, for which repair is a promising solution. However, the fact that a product can be...journal article 2023

Miao, X. (author), Magnier, L.B.M. (author), Mugge, R. (author)Reusable packaging systems (RPSs) can significantly reduce single-use packaging waste. However, knowledge about consumers’ adoption of this kind of packaging is scarce. We adopted a qualitative approach using in-depth interviews with consumers (n = 27) who had actually used an RPS and follow-up phone interviews to capture consumer behaviour...journal article 2023

Geelen, J.E. (author), van der Helm, F.C.T. (author), Schouten, A.C. (author), Mugge, W. (author)Human hands are complex biomechanical systems that allow for dexterous tasks with many degrees of freedom. Coordination of the fingers is essential for many activities of daily living and involves integrating sensory signals. During this sensory integration, the central nervous system deals with the uncertainty of sensory signals. When...journal article 2023

(author), van der Kooij, H. (author), Mugge, W. (author)Individuals with an upper motor neuron syndrome, e.g., stroke survivors, may have a pathological increase of passive ankle stiffness due to spasticity, that impairs ankle function and activities such as walking. To improve mobility, walking aids such as ankle-foot orthoses and orthopaedic shoes are prescribed. However, these walking aids...journal article 2023

van den Berge, R.B.R. (author), Magnier, L.B.M. (author), Mugge, R. (author)Long-lasting electronic products contribute to a sustainable society; however, both expected and actual lifetimes are in decline. This research provides in-depth insights into consumers’ considerations about product lifetimes, barriers to extending lifetimes, and responses to a product lifetime label. Results of interviews (n = 22) with Dutch...journal article 2023

Wallner, T.S. (author), Magnier, L.B.M. (author), Mugge, R. (author)Refurbishment is an effective strategy to extend product lifetimes in a circular economy. However, consumers believe that refurbished products are contaminated with traces of prior use, which can be indicated by the appearance (e.g., scratches) or functionality (e.g., lower battery capacity) of refurbished products. This research explores...journal article 2022

Wallner, T.S. (author), Snel, S. (author), Magnier, L.B.M. (author), Mugge, R. (author)Refurbishment is an effective circular strategy to lengthen a product’s lifetime. However, refurbished products that are intimately used, such as personal care products, cause a feeling of unease in consumers because they are perceived to be contaminated. In 15 in-depth online interviews with female users of intense pulsed light (IPL) device...journal article 2022

Polyportis, A. (author), Magnier, L.B.M. (author), Mugge, R. (author)The circular economy can reduce the environmental footprint of today’s consumption and close the resource loop through circular material flows. Companies are encouraged to fol- low circular principles, such as using more recycled plastic materials. This initiative seems promising; however, it will only be successful if consumers are willing to...journal article 2022

(author)Tremor is thought to be an effect of oscillatory activity within the sensorimotor network. To date, the underlying pathological brain networks are not fully understood. Disentangling tremor activity from voluntary motor output and sensorimotor feedback systems is challenging. To better understand the intrinsic sensorimotor fingerprint...journal article 2022

Cheng, Peiyao (author), Mugge, R. (author)Transparency is a design characteristic enabling consumers to see the technical details underneath the product cover to create a unique visual effect. However, involving transparency in product design increases costs; it is thus essential to investigate the effects of transparency to help designers and manufacturers to determine the cost...journal article 2022
