Product Design in a Circular Economy: Development of a Typology of Key Concepts and Terms (2017, unknown): “fully sustainable, the vast majority of the energy inputs should be derived from renewable sources (Ayres 1994). The goal of this article is to identify guiding principles and to provide a basis for the development of design strategies and methods that could underpin product design for the CE, takin”
Circular Economy: Theoretical Benchmark or Perpetual Motion Machine? (2017, background): “In response to concerns associated with the additional energy requirements of the CE ideal, it is proffered that all energy inputs can be derived from renewable sources (Ayres 1994).”
The battle of the buzzwords: A comparative review of the circular economy and the sharing economy concepts (2021, background): “Ayres’ (1994); Frosch and Gallopolous’s (1989), and Pearce and Turner’s (1989) work initiated the ‘development period’ of CE that led to the widespread use of the term (Bocken et al., 2017a; Martins, 2016).”
Would Industrial Ecology Exist without Sustainability in the Background? (2007, background): “Ayres (1994) spoke of “industrial metabolism,” explicitly invoking a term used by biologists to describe energy and material flows in living organisms and later applied to ecological communities.”
Making Sense of Corporate Environmentalism (2007, background): “Ecological modernization and related conceptions of sustainable development and industrial ecology have as their centerpiece the sustainable management of nature within capitalism (Ayres, 1994; Ehrenfeld, 1994; Frosch & Gallopoulos, 1990; Mol, 1995; Spaargaren & Mol, 1992).”
Analysing the evolution of industrial ecosystems: concepts and application (2005, background): “All living systems rely on physical material and energy flow metabolism (Ayres, 1994; Ayres and Simonis, 1994; Daly, 1996).”
Industrial ecology in the strategic sustainable development model (2004, background): “Through single media-based policy or legislation, airborne emissions can be transformed to sludges that are disposed of to the land; however because of decay processes, the landfills emit emissions to air and to the water [40].”
The limits of technological solutions to sustainable development (2003, background): “According to pioneering industrial ecologist Robert Ayres, non-renewables can be grouped into three classes based on their technical and economical potential for recycling (Ayres 1994).”
