  1. 21. Circular Construction : A Study of Reuse Practices in the Construction Industry from a Consultant´s Perspective

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för arkitektur och samhällsbyggnad (ABE)

    Author : Johan Åberg; Jacob Foconi; [2023]
    Keywords : Reuse; Circular Economy; Construction Industry; Resource Use; Embodied Environmental Impact; Återbruk; Cirkulär Ekonomi; Byggbranschen; Resursanvändning; Inbäddad Miljöpåverkan;

    Abstract : In light of the need to reduce resource usage and mitigate the climate impact of the Swedish construction industry, the adoption of reusing secondary materials has gained significant attention as an alternative construction process. This approach not only addresses environmental concerns, but also aims to transition from the prevailing "make-take-waste" system of resource management. READ MORE

  3. 22. Reuse and recycling of concrete : Economic barriers and possible opportunities for future profitability

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Julia Knutsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Reuse; Recycling; Circular economy; Construction industry; Building material; Concrete industry;

    Abstract : Today, the world's natural ecosystems are threatened by increased extraction of raw materials andgreenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere. One of the drivers of this problem is the impact fromindustries through their production. A possible strategy to reduce pressure on natural ecosystems is toincrease the use of industrial ecosystems.

  4. 23. Sustainability and circularity metrics for EV batteries: Enabling circular economy strategy decision making and value communication

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Internationella miljöinstitutet

    Author : Gunjan Kolhe; [2023]
    Keywords : Sustainability metrics; Circularity metrics; LIB CE strategies; Second life battery energy storage system; Product service system; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The increasing focus on lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in the context of electrification of transport sector has raised concerns about their high costs, resource and energy demands, environmental impact, and social supply chain risks. To address these challenges and maximize the value of LIBs throughout their lifecycle, circular economy (CE) strategies, such as reusing and repurposing, are being explored. READ MORE

  5. 24. Parallel Query Systems : Demand-Driven Incremental Compilers

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Christofer Nolander; [2023]
    Keywords : Query Systems; Parallelism; Incremental Computation; Compiler Architecture; Dependency Tracking; Query system; Parallelism; inkrementella beräkningar; kompilatorer; beroende spårning;

    Abstract : Query systems were recently introduced as an architecture for constructing compilers, and have shown to enable fast and efficient incremental compilation, where results from previous builds is reused to accelerate future builds. With this architecture, a compiler is composed of several queries, each of which extracts a small piece of information about the source program. READ MORE
