Talgorn, E.C.V. (author), Ullerup, Helle (author)In sustainable design and innovation, appreciation of the Planet as an equal stakeholder with humans and businesses continues to rise. Yet a consistent challenge arises in that people have difficulties relating to the nonhuman and interpret the world in terms of human values and experiences. We need more practical tools to stimulate a...journal article 2023

(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, N.E. (author), Polat, E. (author), Bakker, C.A. (author), Peck, David (author), Balkenende, A.R. (author)Design indicators can be used by companies to track circular design implementation, which can yield insights into their performance and opportunities for improvement. Yet, existing indicator methods either lack depth with regard to circular design, are incomplete, or do not use design semantics. This study explores product-level circularity...journal article 2022

Boorsma, N.E. (author), Peck, David (author), Bakker, Tanya (author), Bakker, C.A. (author), Balkenende, A.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

Kamp, Bente (author)Awareness about our planet is more important than ever before. Thereby, the transition towards a Circular Economy (CE) aims to keep products in use and to design out waste. In the construction industry, one way of reducing the use of raw materials is by transforming waste residuals from demolition projects into resources to be reused. By...master thesis 2021

Parejiya, Darshik (author)To reduce carbon emissions and restrict global average temperature rise, coal power plants are being decommissioned in the EU under the Paris Agreement. In the next few decades, defunct coal-powered plants would pop up all over the EU and the world. This raises concerns regarding the modern industrial landscapes, their possibilities and...master thesis 2021

Singh, A. (author), Romero Herrera, N.A. (author), van Dijk, Hylke W. (author), Keyson, D.V. (author), Strating, Alex T. (author)The literature on Design Anthropology (DA) is skewed towards discussion exploring anthropology's potential for design. In contrast, discourse on how design can contribute to anthropology is somewhat limited. This article proposes an ‘Anthropology through Design’ (AtD) approach by reflecting on a study on the emergent phenomenon of ‘energy...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
