van Stijn, A. (author), Eberhardt, L. C.M. (author), Jansen, B. (author), Meijer, A. (author)The transition towards a Circular Economy (CE) in the built environment is vital to reduce environmental impacts, resource consumption and waste generation. The built environment can be made circular by replacing building components with more circular ones. There are many circular design options for building components and knowledge about...journal article 2022

Tsalidis, G.A. (author), Tourkodimitri, K. Panteleaki (author), Mitko, K. (author), Gzyl, G. (author), Skalny, A. (author), Posada Duque, J.A. (author), Xevgenos, Dimitris (author)Although the energy transition results in decreased use of coal for power production, hard coal extraction will continue due to its importance in steel production and coal mine wastewater will continue generating after mines closure. The coal mining sector produces wastewater which results in environmental burdens and often contains valuable...journal article 2022

Jansen, B. (author), van Stijn, A. (author), Eberhardt, Leonora Charlotte Malabi (author), van Bortel, G.A. (author), Gruis, V.H. (author)The construction sector can become more sustainable by applying the Circular Economy concept, which distinguishes two main pathways: substituting materials for biological materials, or optimizing the use or reuse of technical materials. Practitioners sometimes choose one pathway over the other, but knowledge of which of these pathways yields...journal article 2022

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

Jansen, B. (author), van Stijn, A. (author), Gruis, V.H. (author), van Bortel, G.A. (author)The building industry is responsible for the highest resource use, amount of waste and emissions of all industries. The principles of the Circular Economy (CE) could offer an approach to create a more sustainable built environment. For a transition towards a circular built environment, a comprehensive assessment method is needed to support...journal article 2020

Sheldon, R.A. (author)The first green chemistry metrics - the E factor (kgs waste/kg product) and atom economy (mol wt of product/sum of mol wts of starting materials) - were introduced in the early 1990s and were actually green chemistry avant la lettre. In the last two decades, these two metrics have been adopted worldwide by both academia and industry. The E...review 2018
