1. Development of a Product Circularity Indicator Suitable for the EPD-scheme of Construction Products : A Review of Product Circularity Indicators and their Potential Applicability in EPDs for the Construction Sector
Master-uppsats, KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknikSammanfattning : A change in resource consumption patterns is crucial to avoid climate change, reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and to increase climate resilience and consequently, the idea of a circular economy (CE) has gained widespread attention. The resource intense building and construction sector has become subject to both internal and external pressure to become more circular. LÄS MER
2. Prioritising Ecodesign Strategies for Product Sustainable Circularity Using AHP and LCA: a study case
Master-uppsats, Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomiSammanfattning : Addressing environmental burdens associated with the operation and infrastructure of the electrical transmission system products is imperative. Implementing Ecodesign practices in the early stages of product development and adopting circularity approaches throughout the product value chain is crucial to mitigate adverse impacts. LÄS MER
3. Strategic targets and KPIs for improved value chain circularity and sustainability performance : A case study of a large manufacturing enterprise within the energy sector
Master-uppsats, Linköpings universitet/Industriell miljöteknikSammanfattning : Global consumption levels currently extend far beyond what planet Earth in terms of natural resources can regenerate in a sustainable manor and will by 2050 reach levels corresponding to what it would require three Earths to sustain. This overexploitation and unsustainable management of the Earth’s resources in combination with the necessity of mitigating climate change and reaching net zero CO2 emissions by 2050 require action across all sectors, not least the manufacturing industry.

4. Energy systems and urban circularity: evaluating the performance of indicators for district heating and cooling systems according to the circular economy principles
Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperSammanfattning : The circular economy model has been proposed as a possible strategy for sustainable development in urban areas, implying that its core principles need to be cascaded down to various sectors, including the energy sector. District heating and cooling systems have great potential to enhance circularity on an urban level due to the establishment of synergies between different sectors, the incorporation of renewable energy sources and high efficiency.

5. Proposition of a Framework for Measuring Meso-Level Product-Oriented Circularity : Case Study of the Swedish Automotive Industry
Master-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)Sammanfattning : Circularity is a trending topic in research and in marketing documents from companies, as this notion is essential to move towards sustainability. However, there is no tool assessing the circularity of a manufactured product at a meso-level, i.e. on the product’s perspective, even though the same kind of tools exists for environmental impact.
