Global cement production is responsible for almost 8% of global carbon emissions. Cement is used mainly in concrete to construct buildings and infrastructure (e.g. roads, bridges, technical infrastructure,...
The transport sector is supported by the continuous provision of energy, material flows, and material stocks. However, most resource accounting methods do not assess the role of material accumulation in...
Material efficiency is not currently a common driver of building design. In previous studies, we estimated that 12% of the mass of steel used in structural frames would...
Globally, 2.01 billion tonnes of municipal solid waste (MSW) were generated in 2016, about 37% of which was disposed of into landfills. The study develops systematic models to...
Traceability technologies have great potential to improve sustainable performance in cold food supply chains by reducing food loss. In existing approaches, traceability technologies are selected either intuitively or...
Resource Efficiency Collective’s Jonathan and Samantha are proud to be involved in the upcoming book Developing Smart Agri-Food Supply Chains: Using Technology to Improve Safety and Quality. The...
Globally, industry was responsible for approximately a third of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in 2010, and 40% of CO2 emissions in 2017, highlighting its enduring contribution to climate change....
How can we meet future construction challenges in a socially, economically and ecologically responsible way? The book Urban Mining and Circular Construction (Urban Mining und kreislaufgerechtes Bauen), published...
The concept of consumption corridors defines a space in which a good life for all, living now and in the future, is possible within planetary boundaries (Di Giulio...
Background Traceability of food products, ingredients and associated operations are important requirements for improving food safety and consumer confidence. Food traceability systems (FTSs) often suffer from inefficiency in...
