Abstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to examine if the sector of industrial investments has been transformed over the last decade and if so, in which ways this transformation has happened. Digitalization has changed the business environment in a revolutionary manner and this phenomenon needs to be explored since it is new and rapidly growing. The author will attempt to connect the industrial investments’ field with sustainability and find out in what ways sustainability is affected by the transformation mentioned above. The study was performed in Sweden and refers to the Swedish market. The research

New ideas, concepts and understanding that are currently emerging from the science of complex systems are beginning to challenge the way people think about and model industrial systems. In addition, sustainable development and industrial ecology are now two of the most popular concepts with which to understand and represent sustainable industrial systems. In bringing all three of these areas of research together and with a specific focus on the industrial region of Sheffield and South Yorkshire, two theoretical models of sustainable systems are developed with an underlying argument of homology

It focuses specifically on the degree of application of DfS within three selected Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in Cape Town, while also interrogating the local industry’s need for students who are knowledgeable and skilled in this subject.

Abstract:
The focus of this research was to improve the sustainability of various processes by employing tunable solvents, switchable solvents, and catalysis. In Chapter 2, we report applications of tunable solvents to metal and enzyme catalyzed reactions of hydrophobic substrates. Tunable solvents are defined as solvent that change properties rapidly but continuously upon the application of an external physical stimulus and we utilize these solvents to couple homogeneous reactions with heterogeneous separations. We developed organic-aqueous tunable solvents that utilize propane for efficient phase sepa

Abstract:
The construction industry is large and accounts for a major part of the total CO2 emissions each year. The structural engineer has a significant role to decrease the environmental impact of a construction project. This thesis aims to find ways to reach increased environmental sustainability among structural engineers in the construction industry. Barriers to working more environmentally sustainable are investigated to understand what influences the sustainability. To gain data a case study with a qualitative approach was performed at a technical construction consultancy firm in Sweden. Intervi

Abstract:
Negli ultimi anni, il problema ambientale ha acquisito sempre maggiore importanza e il concetto di sostenibilità ambientale è divenuto importante anche all’interno dei contesti aziendali. Al fine di promuovere la consapevolezza ambientale e di favorire la progettazione e la produzione di prodotti sostenibili, sono stati sviluppati numerosi metodi e strumenti di ecodesign. Tuttavia il loro uso all’interno delle aziende è ancora abbastanza ridotto, a causa della loro complessità, del tempo richiesto per condurre le analisi e della necessità di avere un’adeguata e specifica conoscenza. A partire
