3. 17. Next Generation Kettle : A Realisation of an Induction Cooktop Kettle with Automatic Deactivation

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

   Author : Jennifer Li; Ida Östlund; [2021]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : In 2018 KTH alumni Frida Bylund and Linnea Kåwe investigated, on behalf of C3 Scandinavian lifestyle, a new way of boiling water on an induction cooktop. The idea was to develop an induction kettle that shuts itself off when the water reaches 100°C. READ MORE

4. 18. A novel and feasible material recycling technique for end-of-life textiles as All-Cellulose Composites (ACCs)

   University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

   Author : Belinda Johansson; [2021]
   Keywords : all-cellulose composites; end-of-life textiles; denim fabrics; ionic liquid; mechanical properties; sustainability;

   Abstract : Today’s consumption of textiles generates a large volume of textile waste. Therefore, it is needed to find solutions to re-use the textile waste rather recycling fibers into new fibers. Research using pre- and post-consumer textiles in composites is ongoing and an interesting direction. READ MORE

   Abstract : The purpose of this study is to compare the life-cycle cost and environmental impact of the existing fuel-based propulsion system, on public commuter ferries in Stockholm, with a battery based propulsion system. The study is divided into multiple layers. READ MORE

6. 20. Environmental impact of a led fitting : A conducted life cycle analysis on a led fitting

   University essay from Jönköping University/JTH, Logistik och verksamhetsledning

   Author : Mika Fröjd; Evelina Skårhammar; [2020]
   Keywords : Sustainability; Environmental impact; LCA; led fitting; Life cycle; use phase; end of life phase; transportation; Carbon dioxide equivalent CO2e ;

   Abstract : Purpose –The purpose of this research is to increase knowledge about how a led fitting impacts the environment. To be able to fulfil the purpose, it has been broken down into four research questions: • RQ1: What is the environmental impact during transportation? • RQ2: What is the environmental impact during the use phase? • RQ3: What is the environmental impact during the end of life phase? • RQ4: How can the environmental impact be decreased? Method: The authors worked abductive in the relation between theories and empirical data. READ MORE
