Ecodesign of Construction and Demolition Waste-Derived Thermoplastic Composites
(Lappeenranta-Lahti University of Technology LUT, 2020-12-12)
The use of recycled materials in composites has been studied since the 1990s. Research has traditionally focused on technical properties, as well as the recyclability of materials. How these composites should be used or ...
Implementation of circular economy in regional strategies
(Lappeenranta-Lahti University of Technology LUT, 2021-12-22)
One proposed solution to the sustainability crisis is to pursue a circular economy, which is a regenerative economic system that aims to design out waste while keeping products and materials in use for as long as possible. ...
Life cycle cost-driven design for additive manufacturing : the frontier to sustainable manufacturing in laser-based powder bed fusion
(Lappeenranta-Lahti University of Technology LUT, 2021-09-27)
Additive manufacturing (AM) is a manufacturing method that creates components in a layer-wise manner. Laser-based powder bed fusion (L-PBF) is one of the most used AM subcategories to manufacture metal components, referred ...
Circular Economy for Phosphorus Supply Chain and its Impact on Social Sustainable Development Goals
(Elsevier, 2021-02-25)
To be able to grow crops, we have interfered with Earth's reserves of one of top three essential elements, phosphorus (P), as to which we face a problem related to its high consumption compared to available resources. This ...
Impacts of recycled carbon fibre and glass fibre as sustainable raw materials for thermosetting composites
(Lappeenranta-Lahti University of Technology LUT, 2022-09-23)
The fibre-reinforced polymer composites were implemented in various applications as a potential alternative to traditional metals. In particular, the carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP) and glass fibre-reinforced polymer ...
Environmental impacts of the utilisation of challenging plastic-containing waste
(Lappeenranta-Lahti University of Technology LUT, 2022-12-01)
The current economy is primarily based on the concept of a linear economy, which results in negative impacts on the environment, human health, and over-dependency on resources. Shifting towards a circular economy could ...
Circular Economy: Just Sectoral Transition in the Production and Consumption of Textiles
(Springer, Cham, 2022-07-16)
The global textile industry is dominated by the fast fashion paradigm, which causes diverse negative environmental and social impacts. A more circular textile economy is advocated as an answer to unsustainable practices. ...
Solar Drying of Sludge from a Steel-Wire-Drawing Industry
(MDPI, 2023-08-30)
Steel is a crucial industrial product with applications in various sectors, such as construction, engineering, and industry. However, the steel industry generates significant waste, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions ...
Designing printing parameters for geopolymer concrete prepared from construction and demolition waste and industrial side streams
(Lappeenranta-Lahti University of Technology LUT, 2023-11-24)
The high demand for construction and infrastructure materials, the reduction of global warming potential (GWP) and the European union (EU) environmental protection policy have led to the use of environmentally friendly ...
Planning for re-materialization: Developing composite fibre products and processing machinery for municipal, industrial and C&D waste fractions Circwaste - Sub-action A.6
(Lappeenranta-Lahti University of Technology LUT, 2023-11-23)
The aim of the LIFE IP CIRCWASTE-FINLAND project was to implement the National Waste Plan of Finland (NWP). Finland’s NWP is aimed at tackling the raw-material consumption related environmental issues, the climate impacts ...
