Dokter, Giliam (author), Boks, Casper (author), Rahe, Ulrike (author), Jansen, B. (author), Hagejärd, Sofie (author), Thuvander, Liane (author)To bridge the gap between the conceptualisation and implementation of circular value propositions, recent research efforts have focused on linking design-driven approaches with circular-oriented innovation. Such approaches can facilitate iterative processes that emphasise co-creation, prototyping, and real-life experimentation, ultimately...journal article 2023

Laitala, K. (author), Boks, C. (author)Many life cycle assessment studies document that the most resource demanding phase during the clothing life cycle is the use period. This paper discusses how to reduce the environmental impacts of clothing use by improved design. Complete systems thinking is required, evaluating contributions by all the actors in the clothes life cycle chain....conference paper 2010

Verhulst, E. (author), Boks, C. (author)Implementing sustainability in business is steadily gaining more attention. A growing number of companies currently work on the implementation of sustainable criteria in the design related departments and their design processes. Although theory and methods are available, practice shows that this integration process of sustainability criteria is...conference paper 2010

Zachrisson, J. (author), Boks, C. (author)Increased focus in research on the environmental consequences of behaviour and product usage the last decade has resulted in a number of different design strategies. The strategies are meant to stimulate desired behavioural patterns or to avoid undesired ones. Although this provides understanding of how behaviour may be changed, there has been...conference paper 2010

Schmalz, J. (author), Boks, C. (author)Design for sustainable behaviour implies applying design strategies that have been proposed to realize sustainable products that take into account human behavior, thereby minimizing user-related environmental losses. In addition, the application of linked-benefit strategies has been suggested to ensure the design of commercially interesting...conference paper 2010

Dewulf, K. (author), Wever, R. (author), Boks, C. (author), Bakker, C. (author), D'hulster, F. (author)In recent years, the implementation of sustainability into the curricula of engineering has become increasingly important. This paper focuses on the experiences of integrating sustainability in Design Engineering education in the academic bachelor programs at Delft University of Technology in The Netherlands, at the University College of West...conference paper 2009

Wever, R. (author), Boks, C.B. (author), Bakker, C.A. (author)On both a strategic level and a product level a lot is known on how to integrate sustainability aspects. On the intermediate level of product portfolio management this is not true. Here the strategic sustainability goals of a company need to be translated into products. A company wanting to innovate in a green way automatically has to make...conference paper 2008

Wever, R. (author), Boks, C. (author), Stevels, A. (author)The traditional purpose of packaging for consumer electronics (CE) products was to get them in one piece from the factory to the consumers home. It was purely focused on the physical distribution. In that time, buying a CE product could be considered a major family investment. However, times have changed, as nowadays a trend of commoditization...conference paper 2008

Wever, R. (author), Boks, C. (author), Stevels, A. (author)From the perspective of a multinational corporation producing durable consumer goods sustainable packaging is packaging that fulfils the right functionalities in the most efficient way. In order to achieve this, an integral design process is required. Such an integral approach to the design of packaging for CE goods would imply a process that...conference paper 2008

Boks, C. (author), Wever, R. (author)Design for Sustainability has traditionally focused strongly on green fulfilment of a given function, i.e. the process after a design brief has been formulated. The part of the New Product Development process that comes before the formulation of the design brief, is usually referred to as the Fuzzy Front End. Here, the function is determined...conference paper 2007

Boks, C.B. (author), Stevels, A.L.N. (author)Consolidation of knowledge, information and experiences in application of Design for Environment principles is done at various levels, ranging from easy to understand slogans to design guidelines, and even to tailor-made solutions. This brings about that dissemination of this knowledge should be done taking carefully the intended audience and...journal article 2007

Wever, R. (author), Boks, C.B. (author), Pratama, I. (author), Stevels, A.L.N. (author)Packaging design for consumer electronic products is a challenge because contradictory demands from a distribution perspective and a marketing perspective have to be balanced. With several company departments involved and powerful external stakeholders this is a complicated matter. As the level of sophistication of data concerning a packagings...conference paper 2007

Wever, R. (author), Boks, C. (author), Stevels, A. (author)Traditionally packaging design-for-sustainability (DfS) strongly focuses on resource conservation and material recycling. The type and amount of materials used has been the driver in design. For consumer electronics (CE) products this weight-based approach is too limited; a volume-based approach is needed. As this paper will show, from an...conference paper 2007

Wever, R. (author), Boks, C. (author), Stevels, A. (author)Two major changes are currently taking place in the world of Consumer Electronics. They are, first, the relocation of production to low-wage countries, in particularly China. This results in longer distribution distances, which lead to a higher relative importance of this phase in the entire life cycle. To make this phase as efficient as...conference paper 2006

Wever, R. (author), Boks, C.B. (author), Stevels, A.L.N. (author)By postponing the packing of consumer electronics (CE) products into their final consumer package, until after long-distance transportation, substantial economic savings and environmental improvements can be achieved, due to higher efficiency during transportation. In such a case, long-distance transportation is done in multiple or bulk packages...conference paper 2006
