Purpose This paper sets out to discuss the commonalities that can be found in learning outcomes (LOs) for education sustainable development context of Tbilisi and Barcelona declarations. The include systemic or holistic thinking, integration different perspectives, skills such as critical change agent abilities communication, finally attitudes values. Design/methodology/approach An analysis LOs are proposed declarations is conducted, showing specific issues presented. Examples from Instituto...
Abstract Purpose Some future-oriented life cycle assessment (LCA) terms, particularly prospective and ex-ante, show notable increase in use publications over the last decade. However, scholars have pointed out that it is currently unclear exactly what these terms mean how they are related. This paper aims to explain defining differences between LCA provide terminology recommendations. Methods Existing definitions of were reviewed analyzed. Workshops held where discussed. Results Temporal...
Nanocellulose is a bionanomaterial with many promising applications, but high energy use in production has been described as potential obstacle for future use. In fact, life cycle assessment studies have indicated nanocellulose. this study, we assess the cradle-to-gate environmental impacts of three routes particular type nanocellulose called cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) made from wood pulp. The are (1) enzymatic route, which includes an pretreatment, (2) carboxymethylation and (3) one route...
In this paper, three universities compare their work on the integration of sustainable development into educational programmes. The purpose is to show examples how can be done and illustrate important generalised success factors. Methods used achieve embedding sustainability in curricula through individual interaction with teachers other actors are described. all technical relatively high ambitions for activities relation development.
Summary Global population growth and rising living standards are increasing apparel consumption. Consequently, consumption of resources generation textile waste increasing. According to the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency, increased by 40% between years 2000 2009 in Sweden. Given that there is currently no recycling plant Sweden, aim this article explore potential environmental benefits various techniques thereby direct management strategies toward more sustainable options. Three...
Abstract The use of carbon fibre (CF)-based composites is growing global importance due to their application in high-end sectors such as aerospace, automotive, construction, sports and leisure amongst others. However, current high production cost, footprint reduced capability limit high-performance luxury applications. Approximately 50% the total cost CF thermal conversion polyacrylonitrile (PAN) precursor (PF) it involves energy consumption low heating efficiency large furnaces. Looking at...
Purpose The aim of this study is to contribute the quality improvement and long‐term strategic development education for sustainable (ESD) in engineering curricula. Design/methodology/approach content 70 courses environment SD were characterized quantified using course document text analysis. Additionally, two questionnaires sent students alumni at Chalmers, interviews focus group discussions conducted with representatives from 16 Swedish companies five organizations. Findings It was found...
The environmental performance of wastewater and sewage sludge management is commonly assessed using life cycle assessment (LCA), whereas pathogen risk evaluated with quantitative microbial (QMRA). This study explored the application QMRA methodology intent to include in LCA facilitate a comparison other potential impacts on human health considered LCA. Pathogen was estimated for model treatment system (WWTS) located an industrialized country consisting primary, secondary, tertiary treatment,...
Abstract Purpose Lignin extraction in pulp mills and biorefineries are emerging technologies. is always the product of a multi-output process. Assessing such processes using life cycle assessment (LCA) requires environmental impacts to be divided between co-products system, referred as allocation. This article explores different allocation approaches for lignin illustrates influence choice approach on climate impact case study. Method Ten applicable methods were found literature two more...
The lithium-sulfur (Li-S) battery represents a promising next-generation technology because it can reach high energy densities without containing any rare metals besides lithium. These aspects could give Li-S batteries vantage point from an environmental and resource perspective as compared to lithium-ion (LIBs). Whereas LIBs are currently produced at large scale, not. Therefore, prospective life cycle assessment (LCA) was used assess the scarcity impacts of scale for both cradle-to-gate...
