The current enthusiasm for the circular economy (CE) offers a unique opportunity to advance the impact of research on sustainability transitions. Diverse interpretations of CE by scholars, however, produce partly opposing assessments of its potential benefits, which can hinder progress. [...]

16 p, 686.5 KB Coastal sand mining of heavy mineral sands : Contestations, resistance, and ecological distribution conflicts at HMS extraction frontiers across the world / Bisht, Arpita (Erasmus University Rotterdam. Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies) ; Martínez Alier, Joan (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Institut de Ciència i Tecnologia Ambientals)
Coastal sand mining for metals involves extraction of heavy mineral sands (HMS), which are sedimentary deposits of dense minerals that accumulate in coastal environments. HMS are localized concentrations of ores such as ilmenite, rutile, leucoxene, and iron, which are sources of metals such as titanium, zircon, iron, sillimanite/kyanite, staurolite, monazite, and garnet.

16 p, 2.2 MB Supply versus use designs of environmental extensions in input-output analysis : Conceptual and empirical implications for the case of energy / Wieland, Hanspeter (Vienna University of Economics and Business) ; Giljum, Stefan (Vienna University of Economics and Business) ; Eisenmenger, Nina (University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences) ; Wiedenhofer, Dominik (University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences) ; Bruckner, Martin (Vienna University of Economics and Business) ; Schaffartzik, Anke (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Institut de Ciència i Tecnologia Ambientals) ; Owen, Anne (University of Leeds. School of Earth and Environment)
Input-output analysis is one of the central methodological pillars of industrial ecology. However, the literature that discusses different structures of environmental extensions (EEs), that is, the scope of physical flows and their attribution to sectors in the monetary input-output table (MIOT), remains fragmented. [...]

28 p, 1.3 MB Key sectors in greenhouse gas emissions in Spain : an alternative input-output analysis / Alcántara, Vicent (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament d'Economia Aplicada) ; Padilla, Emilio (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament d'Economia Aplicada)
We develop an alternative input-output approach and apply it to the determination of key sectors in emissions. This methodology allows us to assess and classify the different productive sectors according to their greenhouse gas emissions and the role that they play in the productive structure, as well as the participation of their output in the total volume of production. [...]

39 p, 1.8 MB Towards measuring the informal city: a societal metabolism approach / Smit, Suzanne (Stellenbosch University. School of Public Leadership (South Africa)) ; Musango, Josephine K. (Stellenbosch University. School of Public Leadership (South Africa)) ; Kovacic, Zora (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Institut de Ciència i Tecnologia Ambientals) ; Brent, Alan C. (Victoria University of Wellington. Engineering and Computer Science (New Zealand))
The rapid growth of urban informal settlements, or slums, poses a particular challenge for balancing developmental and environmental goals. In South Africa, high levels of inequality, poverty, and unemployment contribute to widespread migration. [...]

26 p, 327.8 KB A life cycle assessment on the dehairing of rawhides : chemical treatment versus enzymatic recovery through solid state fermentation / Catalán Campillo, Eva (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament d'Enginyeria Química, Biològica i Ambiental) ; Komilis, Dimitrios (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament d'Enginyeria Química, Biològica i Ambiental) ; Sanchez, Antoni (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament d'Enginyeria Química, Biològica i Ambiental)
The leather industry needs to switch from the traditional chemically based dehairing process to an environmentally friendly one so that the overall burdens to the environment are reduced. The primary goal of the work was thus to compare the chemical leather dehairing process to an enzymatically based one using the enzymes that are extracted after the application of solid state fermentation (SSF) on hair wastes generated after dehairing.

Evaluating the sustainability of the urban water cycle is not straightforward, although a variety of methods have been proposed. Given the lack of integrated data about sewers, we applied the eco-efficiency approach to two case studies located in Spain with contrasting climate, population, and urban and sewer configurations.
