The recycling of metals is widely viewed as a fruitful sustainability strategy, but little information available on the degree to which actually taking place. This article provides an overview current knowledge rates for 60 metals. We propose various metrics, discuss relevant aspects processes, and present estimates global end-of-life (EOL-RR; i.e., percentage metal in discards that recycled), recycled content (RC), old scrap ratios (OSRs; share total flow). Because increases use over time...
Nature-based Solutions (NBS) are increasingly promoted to support sustainable and resilient urban planning. However, design planning NBS targeted at the needs of local context require knowledge about causal relationships between NBS, ecosystem services (ES) challenges (UC) This paper aims contributing this knowledge, by systematically identifying nexuses (i.e. qualitative links) UC, ES describing plausible relationships. A conceptual UC-ES-NBS criteria framework was built, used guide a...
Abstract Purpose and context This paper aims to establish principles for the increased application use of life cycle sustainability assessment (LCSA). Sustainable development (SD) encompassing resilient economies social stability global system is growingly important decision-makers from business governments. The “17 SDGs” emerge as a high-level shared blueprint peace, abundance, prosperity people planet, “sustainability” supporting improvements products organizations. A...
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...
Summary There is a growing concern over the security and sustainable supply of raw material among businesses governments developed, material‐intensive countries. This has led to development systematic analysis risk incorporated with materials usage, often referred as criticality assessment. In principle, this concept based on flow approach. The potential role life cycle assessment (LCA) integrate resource through broadening its scope into sustainability (LCSA) framework been discussed within...
Originally developed for high-tech applications in the aeronautic and aerospace industry, carbon/epoxy composites have been increasingly used automotive, leisure, sports industries several years. Nevertheless, carbon reinforcement is an expensive constituent, it has recently shown that also most environmentally impacting a composite part manufacturing. Recycling these materials (even restricted to recovery) could lead economic environmental benefits, while satisfying legislative end-of-life...
Nature-based solutions (NBS) are gaining relevance as sustainable urban actions because of their potential to provide multiple benefits in the form ecosystem services (ES), and thus mitigate challenges. This paper presents an original semi-dynamic modelling framework that simultaneously considers i) ES supply demand dynamics, ii) negative environmental impacts, externalities, financial costs derived from NBS, iii) life cycle NBS impacts beyond use phase. Compared other models, it also aims...
