  1. 1. The effect of recycling and processing routes on recrystallization in a secondary 3xxx aluminium alloy

    University essay from Jönköping University/JTH, Material och tillverkning

    Author : Anton Rolseth; [2023]
    Keywords : Aluminium alloys; sheet metal forming; grain boundary segregation; recrystallization; Zener pinning; casting; rolling;

    Abstract : Aluminium alloys have the possibility to be infinitely recycled. By only generating 5% of the emissions compared to primary aluminium, great CO2 savings can be made. One of the issues in manufacturing components entirely from post-consumer scrap is the presence of trace elements and impurities. Such elements can be Fe, Cu, Cr, P and Pb. READ MORE

  3. 2. CSR communication and the use of recycled synthetic fibres in the fashion industry: A content analysis study of two Swedish fashion brands

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Miljövetenskaplig utbildning; Lunds universitet/Centrum för miljö- och klimatvetenskap (CEC)

    Author : Linn Löfling; [2023]
    Keywords : recycled synthetic fibres; fast fashion; slow fashion; CSR communication; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The fashion industry is one of the largest contributors to environmental issues and has a significant part of plastic production due to the use of synthetic fibres. Much scientific research indicates that the fast fashion model is a significant part of using synthetic fibres; however, slow fashion brands are also using the fibres. READ MORE
