Abstract Purpose Assessing impacts of abiotic resource use has been a topic persistent debate among life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) method developers and source confusion for (LCA) practitioners considering the different interpretations safeguard subject mineral resources resulting variety LCIA methods to choose from. Based on review 27 existing methods, accomplished in first part this paper series (Sonderegger et al. 2020), provides recommendations regarding application-dependent areas...
At the beginning of SUPRIM project, there was no global consensus on assessment impacts from use abiotic resources (minerals and metals), in life cycle impact (LCIA). Unlike with other categories such as warming, is not just one single, explicitly agreed-upon problem arising resources. The topic complex new methods are still being developed, all different perspectives views resource use. For this reason, project initiated a process together members research mining communities, aim to obtain...
Abstract Purpose The methods for assessing the impact of using abiotic resources in life cycle assessment (LCA) have always been heavily debated. One main reasons this is lack a common understanding problem related to resource use. This article reports results an effort reach such between different stakeholder groups and LCA community. For this, top-down approach was applied. Methods To guide process, four-level framework used (1) demarcate that needs be assessed, (2) translate into modeling...
Starting from a lack of consensus on how to consistently assess abiotic resource use in life cycle assessment, structured approach was developed enable classification perspectives use, based the so-called role resources. Using this classification, paper focusses analysing links between and modelling concepts, i.e. conceptual implementation. To analyse concepts for selection existing LCIA methods other approaches, concept system model is introduced. It defines relevant inventory flows be...
Abstract Purpose When resources are extracted and used by society, they not necessarily lost for future generations. Therefore, recent publications on impact assessment of abiotic resource use in life cycle focus a decreased accessibility due to dissipation, rather than depletion. In previous study, dissipation was defined as function the global change accessible stock human actions, amount stock, assuming very long-term time perspective (more 500 years). this paper, short-term (25 years) is...
A new recycling process for the extraction of rare earths from neodymium–iron–boron (NdFeB) magnet scrap is being developed, based on direct end-of-life material in a molten fluoride electrolysis bath. Rare are required their metallic form production NdFeB magnets, and suggested achieves this through single step. The developed laboratory scale has been proven to work principle. It expected be environmentally beneficial when compared longer processing routes. Conducting life cycle assessment...
Sustainability in the automotive sector and appropriate end-of-life (EOL) management options for car tyres are important constitute global issues. There is currently an oversupply of EOL potential circular economy (CE) bio-based (BB) warrants further investigation. Likewise, BB CE might be interesting approach to improve overall sustainability tyre life cycle. Research on drivers acceptance missing. In 1989, a socio-economy model was created understand various products. This still popular...
Consideration of sustainable supply (primary) metals is increasingly influencing the policy agenda western societies. Environmental sustainability can be managed from different perspectives, including a site-oriented one (strongly used by mining sector) and product-oriented (as with life cycle assessment). The objectives this article are to analyse discuss differences in these perspectives; potential benefits metal/mining sector also considering perspective; propose ways for smooth...
We present the complexities in terms of designing automotive exterior seating materials (seat coverings and interior linings) at Sage Automotive Interiors (UK), which is a division global international textile supplier with headquarters US. Sustainability innovation are emphasized documents communicating company's vision. Using case study approach, we consider current design, development manufacture process examine it for potential feedback loops, identify leverage points to effect change...
By using its purchasing power to procure environmentally friendly goods and services, the public sector can significantly contribute sustainability in production consumption. The sector’s support is also needed for development of a circular economy (CE), but absence suitable procurement practice often constitutes barrier. A pressing example global need develop CE further exists tyre context. end 2030, number end-of-life tyres (ELT) expected rise significantly. This article analyses role...
According to the United Nations, consumption of materials is expected double between 2020 and 2050. At same time, annual waste generation forecast increase by 70% The circular economy (CE) addresses this problem. However, many barriers further development CE exist. This article analyses situation public procurement in supporting a sustainable for tyres Germany based on 18 interviews with professionals directly responsible purchase four additional expert interviews. Based dimensions ‘current...
