Boorsma, Nina (author), Peck, David (author), Bakker, Tanya (author), Bakker, C.A. (author), Balkenende, R. (author)Remanufacturing offers an approach to extend product lifetime beyond its first use. After restoring products to original quality, they are reintroduced to the market. To make products more suited for this approach, and to increase resource-efficiency, design for remanufacturing can be incorporated for new product development. Academic...journal article 2022

Dangal, S. (author), Faludi, Jeremy (author), Balkenende, R. (author)The Circular Economy Action Plan adopted by the European Commission aims to keep value in products as long as possible through developing product-specific requirements for durability and repairability. In this context, various scoring systems have been developed for scoring product repairability. This study assessed the objectivity and...journal article 2022

Joustra, J.J. (author), Flipsen, Bas (author), Balkenende, R. (author)Composite materials are an attractive material choice as they enable lightweight, low-maintenance products with a long lifespan. Recycling these materials, however, remains a chal-lenge. Homogeneous material composition and the use of thermoset matrices complicate repro-cessing, and result in low-grade recyclate. This means that closing the...journal article 2021

Joustra, J.J. (author), Flipsen, Bas (author), Balkenende, R. (author)Composite materials offer many advantages during the use phase, but recovery at the end of a lifecycle remains a challenge. Structural reuse, where an end of life product is segmented into construction elements, may be a promising alternative. However, composites are often used in large, complex shaped products with optimised material...journal article 2021

Pozo Arcos, B. (author), Dangal, S. (author), Bakker, C.A. (author), Faludi, Jeremy (author), Balkenende, R. (author)The process of fault diagnosis is an essential first step when repairing a product: it determines the condition of the parts and identifies the origin of failure. We report on how product users go through the process of fault diagnosis in consumer products and the influence of design features on this process. Two groups of 12 participants were...journal article 2021

Ingemarsdotter, E.K. (author), Diener, Derek (author), Andersson, Simon (author), Jonasson, Christian (author), Mellquist, Ann Charlotte (author), Nyström, Thomas (author), Jamsin, E. (author), Balkenende, R. (author)The idea of leveraging the Internet of Things (IoT) to support strategies in line with the circular economy (CE) has been gaining traction in literature. However, previous work has predominantly focused on the opportunities that these technologies can bring, and few studies have critically assessed the environmental viability of the proposed...journal article 2021

Joustra, J.J. (author), Flipsen, Bas (author), Balkenende, R. (author)Composite materials, in particular fibre reinforced polymers, present a challenge when reaching their end of life. Current recycling processes are unable to capture the high-end material quality, thus challenging (re)use of composite materials in a Circular Economy. Structurally reusing segmented parts of end-of-life products as construction...journal article 2021

Sumter, Deborah (author), de Koning, J.I.J.C. (author), Bakker, C.A. (author), Balkenende, R. (author)In a recent study, we identified seven key circular competencies for design: (1) Design for Multiple Use Cycles, (2) Design for Recovery, (3) Circular Impact Assessment, (4) Circular Business Models, (5) Circular User Engagement, (6) Circular Economy Collaboration, and (7) Circular Economy Communication. These were derived from small‐scale...journal article 2021

Ingemarsdotter, E.K. (author), Kambanou, Marianna Lena (author), Jamsin, E. (author), Sakao, Tomohiko (author), Balkenende, R. (author)Previous literature has highlighted many opportunities for digital technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and data analytics, to enable circular strategies, i.e., strategies which support the transition to a circular economy (CE). As one of the key circular strategies for which the digital opportunities are apparent, maintenance...journal article 2021

Brown, P.D. (author), Von Daniels, C. (author), Bocken, N.M.P. (author), Balkenende, R. (author)Circular oriented innovation commonly requires collaboration. Yet, to date, circular research lacks empirical investigation into collaborative processes. Collaborative processes are, however, highly researched within strategic management literature, thus offering valuable insights. The purpose of this paper is to investigate, identify and...journal article 2021

Brown, P.D. (author), Baldassarre, B.R. (author), Konietzko, J.C. (author), Bocken, N.M.P. (author), Balkenende, R. (author)Circular oriented innovation aims to address sustainability problems such as resource scarcity, pollution and climate change by (re)designing industrial products, processes, business models, and value network configurations. Although the literature identifies collaboration as crucial for circular oriented innovation—due to the complexity,...journal article 2021

Pozo Arcos, B. (author), Bakker, C.A. (author), Flipsen, Bas (author), Balkenende, R. (author)Fault diagnosis is the process of identifying and characterising a fault when a failure occurs. It is, therefore, an essential step to take before product-repair. In this study, we ask how conventional users diagnose faults in household appliances and how the design of these appliances facilitates or hampers the process of fault diagnosis.To...journal article 2020

Brown, P.D. (author), Bocken, N.M.P. (author), Balkenende, R. (author)Collaborative innovation is necessary to explore and implement circular economy strategies. Yet, empirical investigations into such collaborations are scarce. It is unclear whether the circular context creates differences or represents adaptions within how collaborative innovation is conducted. We draw upon strategic management and open...journal article 2020

Ingemarsdotter, E.K. (author), Jamsin, E. (author), Balkenende, R. (author)While the enabling capabilities of the Internet of Things (IoT) in the Circular Economy (CE) have been highlighted in a number of publications, knowledge about how to leverage IoT in actual implementation of circular strategies is still lacking. This paper aims to elucidate reasons for the apparent mismatch between the ‘theoretical...journal article 2020

Sauerwein, M. (author), Zlopasa, J. (author), Doubrovski, E.L. (author), Bakker, C.A. (author), Balkenende, R. (author)The circular economy requires high-value material recovery to enable multiple product lifecycles. This implies the need for additive manufacturing to focus on the development and use of low-impact materials that, after product use, can be reconstituted to their original properties in terms of printability and functionality. We therefore...journal article 2020

Sumter, Deborah (author), de Koning, J.I.J.C. (author), Bakker, C.A. (author), Balkenende, R. (author)Limited research has been done on design competencies for a circular economy in practice. Yet, an overview of design competencies for a circular economy would be useful to understand which topics should be emphasized in both education and practice. This paper focuses on deriving circular economy competencies for product designers working in...conference paper 2019
