Assessing Circularity Potentials and Customereducation to drive ecologically and economicallyeffective Materials Design for Circular Economy – A Case Study

Authors Wielopolski, Mateusz; Guerreschi, Asia Abstract Circular Economy, as the counterargument to the ‘make-take-dispose’ linear model, is anapproach that includes a variety of schools of thoughts looking at environmental, economic, andsocial sustainability. This, in turn, leads to a variety of strategies and often confusion when itcomes to choosing the right one to make a circular [...]

Material characterization allowing the realization of multi-scale circular economy studies: from research to practice

Authors TIRADO FABIAN, Deanira Rafaela Abstract Recent policies and researches confirm that the circular economy (CE) is indispensable to achieving the ecological transition and sustainable development because it offers strategies to face challenges such as reducing waste production and the scarcity of primary resources. As the construction sector is one of the largest consumers of [...]

Environmental Impacts of Novel Routes for Sc Production from Bauxite Residues and Tio2 Production Wastes

Authors Hengevoss, Dirk; Lenz, Markus; Misev, Victor; Feigl, Vitoria Abstract Scandium (Sc) is high-valued element and a key component in producing high strength aluminum alloys but Sc supply is limited. Sc-producing countries are China (66%), Russia (26%) and Ukraine (7%). The use of Sc containing waste streams such as bauxite residue (BR) from alumina production [...]
