- Footprint analysis of circular economy practices in the steel industry [Resumo]Publication . Sameer, Husam; Knoblauch, Lukas; Dürr, Hans H.; Flörke, Martina; Ambaye, Teklit G.; Lima, Ana Teresa; Mao, Ruichang; Lu, Zheng; Kunther, Wolfgang; Slabik, Simon; Hafner, Annette; Aloini, Davide; Zerbino, Pierluigi; Mabroum, Safaa; Ram, V.; Barbosa, Juliana; Simoes, Sofia; Genovese, AndreaABSTRACT: Steel is one of the dominant materials in the building industry, however, substantial environmental impacts occur in its supply chain. We evaluate the environmental performance of different steel production scenarios at the macro level, taking into account circular economy practices. Using the dynamic life cycle assessment methodology, different scenarios are assessed for the time horizon 2015 to 2070. The environmental footprints are quantified in terms of primary energy, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, material, land and water footprints. Forecasts regarding the availability of end-of-life steel and future demand in European and global contexts are considered.
- How far can circular economy practices contribute to a carbon-neutral Europe? The case of flat glass production in the construction sector [Resumo]Publication . Barbosa, Juliana; Simoes, Sofia; Aloini, Davide; Zerbino, Pierluigi; Mabroum, Safaa; Montalbano, Giammarco; Lima, Ana TeresaABSTRACT: The construction sector heavily relies on non-renewable resources for energy and materials. Addressing this, Circular Economy (CE) is frequently suggested as a means to foster sustainable growth while reducing global emissions. Yet, the actual impact of CE in the long term is still uncertain due to limited empirical evidence and various factors that may hinder its widespread adoption. Indeed, the transition to CE might necessitate a substantial transformation in production capabilities, supply chain modifications, the phasing out of existing capital, and investment in new technologies and facilities.
- Workshop 2: Como envolver o mercado? [Resumo]Publication . Duarte, Ana Paula; Nohrstedt, PeterUma questão-chave em qualquer processo de contratação é o “Envolvimento do Mercado”. Ana Paula Duarte afirma que este processo facilita a comunicação entre compradores e fornecedores, aumenta o conhecimento dos compradores em relação ao mercado na sua região e permite aos fornecedores uma adaptação às novas exigências do mercado, assegurando a competitividade das empresas.
