Circular economy: To be or not to be in a closed product loop? A Life Cycle Assessment of aluminium cans with inclusion of alloying elements (2016, background): “…of the circular economy (CIRAIG 2015), defines a framework for designing products and industrial processes that turn materials into nutrients by enabling their perpetual flow within one of two distinct metabolisms: the biological metabolism and the technical metabolism (Braungart et al. 2007).”
Restorative and regenerative: Exploring the concepts in the circular economy (2020, methodology): “For EMF (2015a), regeneration in the biological cycle is derived from the Cradle-to-Cradle framework (Braungart et al., 2007) where biological nutrients regenerate the ecosystem (Homrich, Galvao, Abadia, & Carvalho, 2018).”
Forms of knowledge and eco-innovation modes: Evidence from Spanish manufacturing firms (2017, background): “…sectoral systems of green innovation has shown (Oltra and Saint Jean, 2009), the knowledge base of the EI regime is quite complex and articulated (Braungart et al., 2007; Winter, 1984; Breschi et al., 2000) and thus apparently more in need of internal STI than DUI-like efforts in order to be…”
The circular bioeconomy: Its elements and role in European bioeconomy clusters (2020, background): “According to Braungart et al. (2007), product groups can be structured in biological nutrients (i.”
Circular economy for the built environment: A research framework (2017, methodology): “Biological analogies are also often found in the prolific work of William McDonough and Michael Braungart (Braungart et al., 2007; McDonough and Braungart, 1998, 2002, 2013; McDonough et al., 2003). Their work is perhaps the form of CE most familiar to the wide public. They identified the source of ”
Integrating Backcasting and Eco‐Design for the Circular Economy: The BECE Framework (2017, background): “Sustainable Product Design One of the frameworks in this category is C2C design (Braungart et al. 2007), which aims to assist designers in the development of eco-effective products and industrial processes following three natural principles: waste equals food; use solar energy; and celebrate…”
What Gets Measured, Gets Done: Development of a Circular Economy Measurement Scale for Building Industry (2018, background): “The industry needs to implement new eco-efficiency strategies, maintaining or increasing the value of economic output while simultaneously diminishing the environmental impact [7].”
The Circular Economy: Swings and Roundabouts? (2019, background): “…(Tukker, 2015); biomimicry (Benyus, 1997); the performance economy (Stahel, 2010); eco-efficiency (Haas et al., 2015); cradle to cradle design (Braungart et al., 2007); regenerative design (Lyle, 1996) and industrial ecology (Graedel and Allenby, 2003) to incorporate the idea of a closed-loop…”
Comparison of the Technical Performance of Leather, Artificial Leather, and Trendy Alternatives (2021, background): “A circular economy aims at reusing consumed materials and ideally, product cycles become closed according to the cradle-to-cradle principle [1,2].”
