(author), Cipolina, Andrea (author), Micale, Giorgio (author), Xevgenos, Dimitris (author)This work explores resource recovery coupled to seawater desalination in small islands. As small islands depend on seawater desalination for water access, they make an excellent ground for exploring the trade-offs associated to resource recovery, like potential economic gains, energy use, and environmental impacts. Here, we investigated these...journal article 2023

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

Mohajeri, M. (author), van den Bergh, Arjan J. (author), Jovanova, J. (author), Schott, D.L. (author)Ship unloader grabs are usually designed using the manufacturer's in-house knowledge based on a traditional physical prototyping approach. The grab performance depends greatly on the properties of the bulk material being handled. By considering the bulk cargo variability in the design process, the grab performance can be improved...journal article 2021

Watkins, Matthew (author), Casamayor, Jose L. (author), Ramirez, Mariano (author), Moreno, Mariale (author), Faludi, Jeremy (author), Pigosso, Daniela C.A. (author)Current production and consumption patterns are unsustainable, causing irreversible damage to the environment and human health and well-being. Designers play a vital role in resolving this problem—their decisions affect product manufacturing, distribution, use, and disposal—and hence they must be aware of the positive and negative impacts of...journal article 2021

van Loon-Steensma, J.M. (author), Goldsworthy, Christopher (author)In this paper, we introduce and test a framework to qualitatively assess the environmental impact of climate adaptation innovations with the ambition to facilitate the implementation of these adaptations. The framework was designed to enable continuous environmentally conscious benchmarking based on three environmental performance indicators:...journal article 2021

van Dam, Kirsten (author), Simeone, Luca (author), Keskin, Duygu (author), Baldassarre, B.R. (author), Niero, Monia (author), Morelli, Nicola (author)In the past decades, industrial design practice and research have focused extensively on how to optimize production and consumption, as a way to prevent negative environmental impacts, such as resource depletion, pollution, and excessive waste. Recently, the “circular economy” concept is increasingly used to achieve environmental benefits and...journal article 2020

Medici, P. (author), van den Dobbelsteen, A.A.J.F. (author), Peck, David (author)This paper analyses the user safety of a playground built out of reused blades from a dismantled wind turbine. Located in Rotterdam and designed by the Netherlands architecture firm Superuse Studios, the playground, called “Wikado”, represents an example of the circular economy applied to the built environment. With reused materials, Wikado...journal article 2020

Jing, Guoqing (author), Wang, Jingru (author), Wang, Haoyu (author), Siahkouhi, Mohammad (author)Recently, implementing steel slag ballast has been proposed as an appropriate material to substitute stone ballast. In this regard, one of the technical concerns is the behavior of steel slag ballast in both time and frequency domains that needs to be assessed, properly. Furthermore, the combination of stone ballast and steel slag is...journal article 2020

Fakhredin, F. (author)The topic of this thesis is design for recycling (DfR) of electronic products. More than ever before, electronic products are intruding into our everyday life, both in the household and in industry, resulting in increasing numbers of electronic products ending up in waste streams (also known as electronic waste, or e-waste). Electronic products...doctoral thesis 2018

Davis, Michael (author), Tenpierik, M.J. (author), Ramirez, Francisco (author), Perez, Maria Elena (author)Up to 44% of EU residents are exposed to noise levels that are detrimental to health. In this context, vertical gardens could play an important role in architectural acoustics, where the main absorber material is the substrate soil. Plants have a beneficial effect for higher frequencies when planted in a large density. In this paper a vertical...journal article 2017

Davis, Michael Maks (author), Perez, Maria Elena (author), Tenpierik, M.J. (author), Ramirez, Francisco (author)Noise can become uncomfortable for us in many situations both indoors and outdoors. External noise consists of activities (airplanes flying overhead, traffic on the road, etc.) that are either loud enough to be considered uncomfortable when outdoors, or are of an elevated volume to the extent that they infiltrate buildings at levels considered...conference paper 2016
