The Anatomy of Circular Economy Monitoring through the Lens of Border Crossing and Levels of ControlRukanova, B.D. (author), Ubacht, J. (author), Tan, Y. (author), Agahari, W. (author), Rietveld, Elmer (author), Lennartz, Jelmer (author)In this paper, we propose a framework for circular economy monitoring by looking at the issue of border crossing and levels of control.conference paper 2023

Ubacht, J. (author), Schmid, Jonathan (author), Rietveld, Elmer (author), Lennartz, Jelmer (author), Rukanova, B.D. (author), Tan, Y. (author)The European Commission initiated a series of Directives and Regulations that aim to turn the linear economy into a climate-neutral and circular economy. Business-to-government information- sharing arrangements play an essential role in monitoring compliance with these regulatory measures. To this end data from the supply chain of products needs...conference paper 2023

Flipsen, Bas (author), Bakker, C.A. (author), de Pauw, I.C. (author)Designing products for the Circular Economy requires closing and slowing of loops by means of repair, reman-ufacturing, refurbishment, parts reuse and/or recycling. Ease of product disassembly facilitates these processes to be more cost-effective, resulting in a better circular strategy fit. In this paper we present the Hotspot Map-ping method....conference paper 2020

Sauerwein, M. (author), Bakker, C.A. (author), Balkenende, R. (author)This paper explores the use of annotated portfolios as a method to support the qualitative analysis of interview data about design projects. Annotated portfolios have so far been used to support artefacts with text in order to discuss them in the context of ‘research through design’ In this paper, we interpret the five-step method of McCracken...conference paper 2018

Tunn, V.S.C. (author), Ackermann, L. (author)Product-service systems are circular business models that can potentially extend product lifetimes and reduce resource consumption. However, consumer product care is crucial in these business models. We explore consumer product care of newly bought, second-hand, and accessed bicycles and washing machines through an online survey (n = 212). Our...conference paper 2020

Sumter, Deborah (author)The circular economy offers an alternative to the linear economy (also called the take-make-use-waste society) we live in. It puts emphasis on using resources effectively by slowing and closing resources loops. Design is seen as enabler in a circular economy. Design decisions taken now have an impact on the recovery of products in the future....doctoral thesis 2021

Pozo Arcos, B. (author)Today’s industrialized societies face the challenge of integrating economic activity with sustainable consumption. Prosperity has come hand in hand with environmental damage. Product lifetimes are decreasing and there is a rising demand for high-tech products for which no effective recycling is in place. Hence, the value from products is lost to...doctoral thesis 2022

den Hollander, M.C. (author)This thesis argues that in order to increase the likelihood that product lifetime extension in a circular economy will be successful from both an environmental and an economic perspective, industrial designers need to be able to control not only the spatial dimension (materialization and geometry) of products, but also their temporal dimension....doctoral thesis 2018

Azcarate Aguerre, J.F. (author), Klein, T. (author), Konstantinou, T. (author), Veerman, Martijn (author)The servitisation of the built environment, through the implementation of product–service systems, is considered a promising business strategy to achieve a circular economy transition. This servitisation faces a number of practical challenges, among them the technological readiness and effective integration and application of existing and...journal article 2022

Mulhall, D.G. (author), Ayed, Anne-Christine (author), Schroeder, Jeannot (author), Hansen, Katja (author), Wautelet, Thibaut (author)Background. Laws that enable a circular economy (CE) are being enacted globally, but reliable standardized and digitized CE data about products is scarce, and many CE platforms have differing exclusive formats. In response to these challenges, the Ministry of The Economy of Luxembourg launched the Circularity Dataset Standardization Initiative...journal article 2022

Pronk, Arno (author), Brancart, S. (author), Sanders, Fred (author)In 2018, the construction sector was responsible for 39% of the worldwide energy and process-related carbon dioxide emissions (Global Alliance for Buildings and Construction et al., 2019). This is partly due to the embodied carbon, which represents the carbon emissions related to building construction and material production (LETI, 2020). While...journal article 2022

Dit wordt mede veroorzaakt door het grote verbruik van medische wegwerpproducten, die na gebruik verbrand worden.

Literature mainly focuses on conceptual or review studies examining the role of digital tools (e.g., material passport and building information modelling) to close the material loops. There is a lack of understanding of how digital...journal article 2022

Franconi, A. (author), Ceschin, Fabrizio (author), Peck, David (author)Most frameworks for dealing with the complexity of designing for the circular economy have limitations in terms of correlating different domains of knowledge, correlating highly complex design strategies, and facilitating the process of design strategies’ discovery and development. This paper discusses how managers and designers can create...journal article 2022

Jansen, B. (author), van Stijn, A. (author), Gruis, V.H. (author), van Bortel, G.A. (author)The built environment can be made more circular by gradually replacing building components with more circular components during construction, renovation, or maintenance. However, many different design options can be seen as circular. Although there is a growing number of studies about circular design options, research on what makes these options...journal article 2022

Kitchens are a logical component to be made circular, given their relatively short lifespan, product-based nature, and affordable prototypes. Since various designs for circular kitchens can be developed, understanding the feasibility...journal article 2023
