"Shifting the Balance among the ‘Three Rs of Sustainability:’ What Motivates Reducing and Reusing?" Sustainability 13, no. 18 (September 9, 2021): 10093. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/su131810093.

Abstract:

The “Three Rs of Sustainability—Reduce, Reuse, Recycle,” are central tenets of many community waste-management programs promoting responsible use of natural resources and ecosystem services. Over the past few decades, recycling has become widespread, but monetary and energy expenditures required to transport and transform waste materials have led to downsizing of recycling programs globally and in the U.S. This trend increases the need for effective reducing and reusing practices as alternatives to recycling. Using a survey experiment to examine motivations that underlie reducing and reusing behaviors, individuals reported their current reducing, reusing, and recycling practices. Respondents then were provided with three hypothetical scenarios that described (1) an external waste-management threat to public well-being, (2) social/peer pressure from family and friends towards sustainable decision-making, and (3) increased convenience of reusing and reducing practices. These messages reflect previously identified RRR motivations. After the scenarios, the questions regarding recycling, reducing, and reusing behavior were presented again to test for changes in the responses. All three scenarios were effective in increasing intended reducing and reusing behavior. The threat scenario was slightly more effective than the others, particularly among individuals who reported behavior with considerable recycling practices but not as much reducing and reusing.

Abstract:

According to the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, 73% of used clothing is landfilled or incinerated globally and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from fabric manufacturing in 2015 amounted to 1.2 billion tons. It must be reduced in the future, especially by reusing and recycling used clothing. Based on this perspective, researchers calculated the energy consumption and GHG emissions associated with reusing and recycling used clothing globally with a life cycle assessment (LCA). However, no study was conducted so far to estimate the total GHG emission reductions in Japan by reusing and recycling used clothing. In this study, the amount of used clothing currently discharged from households as combustible and noncombustible waste and their fiber types were estimated using literature. Then, the methods for reusing and recycling of used clothing were categorized into the following 5 types based on fiber type, that is, “reuse overseas,” “textile recycling to wipers,” “fiber recycling,” “chemical recycling” and “thermal recycling.” After that, by applying LCA, the GHG emission reductions by above 5 methods were estimated, based on the annual discharged weights of each fiber type. Consequently, the total GHG emissions reductions by reusing and recycling 6.03 × 108 kg of used clothing totally were estimated around 6.60 × 109 kg CO2e, to range between 6.57 × 109 kg CO2e and 6.64 × 109 kg CO2e, which depended on the type of “chemical recycling.” The largest contribution was “reuse overseas,” which was 4.01 × 109 kg CO2e corresponded to approximately 60% of the total reduction. Where, it was assumed that used clothing were exported from Japan to Malaysia which was currently the largest importing country. In this case, GHG emissions to manufacture new clothing in China, the largest country currently to export them to Japan, can be avoided, which are 29.4 kg CO2e and 32.5 kg CO2e respectively for 1 kg jeans and 1 kg T-shirts. Adding the GHG emissions for overseas transportation to this, on average, 32.0 kg CO2e per kg of used clothing was reduced by “reuse overseas,” which was 19.6 times larger than GHG emissions by incineration, 1.63 kg CO2e per kg, in which carbon neutrality for cotton was not counted. As the result, the total GHG emission reductions above mentioned, around 6.60 × 109 kg CO2e, corresponds to 70% of the GHG emissions by incineration of total household garbage in Japan.

Full text

Abstract:

It is important to manage reverse material flows such as recycling, reusing, and remanufacturing in a production environment. This paper addresses a production planning problem which involves reusing of scrap and recycling of waste that occur in the various stages of the production process and remanufacturing/recycling of returns in a closed-loop supply chain environment. An extended material requirement planning (MRP) is proposed as a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model which includes—beside forward—these reverse material flows. The proposed model is developed for the jewelry industry in Turkey, which uses gold as the primary resource of production. The aim is to manage these reverse material flows as a part of production planning to utilize resources. Considering the mostly unpredictable nature of reverse material flows, the proposed model is likewise transformed into a fuzzy model to provide a better review of production plan for the decision maker. The suggested model is examined through a case study to test the applicability and efficiency.

Full text

Abstract:

It is a fact that electric vehicles (EVs) are beneficial for climate protection. However, the current challenge is to decide on whether to reuse an EV battery or to recycle it after its first use. This paper theoretically investigates these areas i.e., recycle and reuse. It was found that there are several commercially used recycling processes and also some are under research to regain maximum possible materials and quantity. The concept of reusing (second life) of the battery is promising because, at the end of the first life, batteries from EVs can be used in several applications such as storing energy generated from renewable sources to support the government grid. However, the cost and life-cycle analysis (LCA) demonstrated that there are several aspects involved in battery reuse applications. Henceforth, one LCA generalised method cannot provide an optimal approach for all cases. It is important to have a detailed study on each of the battery reusing applications. Until then, it is safe to say that reusing the battery is a good option as it would give some time to recycling companies to develop cost and energy-efficient methods.

Abstract:

Construction and demolition waste (CDW) accounts for at least 30% of the total solid waste produced around the world. At around 924 million tons in the European Union in 2016 and 2.36 billion tons in China in 2018, the amount is expected to increase over the next few years. Dumping these wastes in sanitary landfills has always been the traditional approach to waste management but this will not be feasible in the years to come. To significantly reduce or eliminate the amount of CDW being dumped, circular economy is a possible solution to the increasing amounts of CDW. Circular economy is an economic system based on business models which replaces the end-of-life concept with reducing, reusing, recycling, and recovering materials. This paper discusses circular economy (CE) frameworks—specifically material recovery and production highlighting the reuse and recycling of CDW and reprocessing into new construction applications. Likewise, a literature review into recent studies of reuse and recycling of CDW and its feasibility is also discussed to possibly prove the effectivity of CE in reducing CDW. Findings such as effectivity of recycling CDW into new construction applications and its limitations in effective usage are discussed and research gaps such as reuse of construction materials are also undertaken. CE and recycling were also found to be emerging topics. Observed trends in published articles as well as the use of latent Dirichlet allocation in creating topic models have shown a rising awareness and increasing research in CE which focuses on recycling and reusing CDW.

Abstract:

The lining of steel converters and ladles consists of magnesia-graphite refractories. The steel industry is the biggest consumer of refractories, about 70% of the total production of these materials. For this reason, it is very important to recycle them for the production process. The aim of this work is to carry out the physicochemical and microstructural characterization of post-mortem magnesia-graphite refractories from a steel plant, in order to achieve their incorporation to the manufacture of ceramic masonry to be used in the construction industry. The obtained results indicate acceptable properties in these industrial wastes in relation to the physicochemical and environmental characteristics and the feasibility of reusing them in the mentioned applications.

Abstract:

Phosphogypsum (PG) is an industrial waste from the production of phosphoric acid and phosphate fertilizer. Disposal and landfill of PG pose significant environmental problems due to its hazardous components. Although many researchers have explored the possibility of PG recycling, challenges still exist before it can be high-effectively reused. In particular, a great deal of recent attention has been attracted to explore using PG as raw material to manufacture sustainable composites. The impurities movement, recycling efficiency, and environmental impacts have to be further investigated. This review article summarized the state of the art of the purification process, application areas, and the environmental impacts of PG waste. The main challenges and potential application approaches were discussed. This article is focused on reviewing the details of the PG reusing which benefits the readers on learning the knowledge from previous efforts. The main challenges of reusing PG were discussed from the chemical, physical, and materials perspectives.

Abstract:

In silicon wafer manufacturing for solar cells, the hazardous sawing waste results in serious environmental problems. In this paper, a novel approach for the recycling and reusing of slurry waste is reported. The results show that slurry waste is recycled and reused completely, and composite material of Si3N4-Si2N2O-SiC is prepared. The residual gas from oxygen enrich gas production is used, which reduced cost effectively. In addition, the reaction is exothermic, which is also energy saving and ensure the production to be continuous without external heat source. The mechanism was also discussed in this paper.

Abstract:

The aim of this work is to manage the waste product based on polyethylene (PE) films by recycling and reusing it as antistatic material for electronic packaging and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding material for protecting electronic equipment from interference of EM radiation. To achieve this, a conductive carbon black has been mixed with the PE waste at different weight percent values by ultrasonication via a solution mixing process. Mixing time for sonication was determined by ultraviolet-visible (UV-VIS) spectra. A differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) study showed that the low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) are immiscible in their blend composition. The tensile properties of PE have reduced substantially after reprocessing. However, the addition of carbon black has improved its strength up to a certain loading. The electrical percolation threshold values, calculated using the classical power law and sigmoidal Boltzmann model, were obtained at 3.5 and 2.8 wt% loading of carbon black, respectively. The conductivity result revealed that 1-2 wt% carbon-loaded composites can be used as antistatic material. The composites, having carbon loading above 4 wt%, can be effective materials for EMI shielding application. The 10 wt% carbon-loaded composite exhibits EMI SE value 33 dB which means there is approximately 99.93% protection of EM radiation at the sample thickness of 1.0 mm. Moreover, FTIR analysis, thermal stability, AC conductivity, dielectric properties, permeability, and current-voltage characteristics are also discussed in detail. There is a substantial increment in thermal stability, and dielectric properties are observed with the addition carbon black loading within the polymer matrix.

Abstract:

Recently, the end-of-service life for aging aircraft and related parts has become a key subject in recycling industries worldwide. Over the next 20 years, approximately 12,000 aircraft currently utilized for different purposes will be at the end of service. Thus, reclaiming retired aircraft by environmentally responsible methods while retaining some of the value becomes a significant need. Recycling aircraft components and using these in different applications will reduce the consumption of natural resources as well as landfill allocations. Compared to the production of virgin materials, recycling aircraft will also reduce air, water, and soil contaminations, as well as energy demand. In the present study, we have investigated the environmental benefits of recycling and reusing aircraft components in the same or similar applications as low-energy input materials. During the aircraft recycling, most of the aircraft components can be recycled and reused after reasonable modifications and investments.

Abstract:

With the rapid development of new energy vehicles (NEVs) industry in China, the reusing of retired power batteries is becoming increasingly urgent. In this paper, the critical issues for power batteries reusing in China are systematically studied. First, the strategic value of power batteries reusing, and the main modes of battery reusing are analyzed. Second, the economic benefit models of power batteries echelon utilization and recycling are constructed. Finally, the economic benefits of lithium iron phosphate (LIP) battery and ternary lithium (TL) battery under different reusing modes are analyzed based on the economic benefit models. The results show that when the industrial chain is fully coordinated, LIP battery echelon utilization is profitable based on a reasonable scenario scheme. However, the multi-level echelon utilization is only practical under an ideal scenario, and more attention should be paid to the first level echelon utilization. Besides, the performance matching of different types of batteries has a great impact on the echelon utilization income. Thus, considering the huge potentials of China’s energy storage market, the design of automobile power batteries in the future should give due consideration to the performance requirements of energy storage batteries. Moreover, the TL battery could only be recycled directly, while the LIP has the feasibility of echelon utilization at present. At the same time, it will strengthen the cost advantage of the LIP battery, which deserves special attention.

Mayhew's extensive elaboration of midcentury recycling, repurposing, and reusing practices is put into dialogue with the volumes’ print innovations and, in particular, print recycling practices. Drawing on the passage in which Mayhew describes his ecological vision most compactly—itself recycled from an earlier work—it illustrates how these volumes unite “the ragpicker” and the writer in the production of open and usable forms generative of social change.

Abstract:

A higher amount of post industrial and post consumer fiber waste has been accumulated, due to the growth in world population, overall improvement of living standards and global fiber consumption. General descriptions of fibrous waste, statistics, material characteristics (compositions) and sources in the world were provided. The state-of-the-art of textile wastes recycling has been presented. Varied recycling technologies have been developed so as to maximize the use of the fibrous waste collected. Prevailing recycling technologies, including reusing, recycling, incineration, and landfill, are reviewed. Some promising recycling techniques, such as dissolution and deploymerization, which are applicable to valuable PET or nylon, were focused upon in this paper. The summary on some selected recycling technologies and products from the recycling processes was also offered. Different combinations of incineration, materials recycling, and biological treatment of biodegradable waste, or landfilling could be an expectable choice, a system analysis should be done for diverse waste textile treatment options. Observations on future trends and needs for further development are discussed in the end. Intensive research and development that make lower added-value recycled products from waste textiles should be encouraged, which can consume the largest volume low value waste textiles.

Abstract:

Conventional production and consumption systems, in which industrial products are manufactured, consumed, and then finally disposed, have significant environmental impacts. Reusing and recycling product components in the manufacture of industrial products has recently become popular as an effective way of conserving natural resources. In this study, we propose a method to assign each product component a reasonable end-of-life (EOL) option (reuse, recycling, and disposal) in the product design phase. We develop a method, in which a product tree is generated by a multi-agent system, to determine EOL options considering component combinations based on environmental impact and incurred cost. In addition, we optimize the disassembly level for better reuse and recycling. The proposed determination method of EOL options for components in a product is justified by numerical examples using an inkjet printer.

Abstract:

Grey water from washbasins represents the least polluted source of waste water in households and buildings. This research study investigated three alternatives in recycling grey water from washbasins for reuse in toilet flushing systems. Grey water was collected from the washbasins of a nine-storey university building. The water was treated employing three distinct treatment systems in order to determine the most appropriate system when reusing such water in flushing systems. The grey water treatment systems under scrutiny were composed of a sedimentation tank, a 24-hour aeration tank and a sand and carbon filtering tank, functioning in conjunction with a final sedimentation tank. The water quality from the selected treatment system had TSS, BOD5, and Turbidity measures of 1.67 mg/l, 3.33 mg/l, and 3.33 NTU, respectively. Fecal coliform bacteria and E. Coli were not found in the treated water. Efficiency measures in reducing TSS, BOD5, and Turbidity were 93%, 75%, and 91%, respectively. Fifty-five toilet users were interviewed during the experiment, sixty nine percent of which reported that the recycled water was comparable to tap water. In conclusion, this research recommends treating grey water from washbasins and reusing it in flushing systems in order to deploy water more efficiently in buildings.

Abstract:

AbstractAn analysis of Great Britain's campaigns to recycle books and paper reveals the paradoxes of wartime waste policies: destroying history and culture for the sake of reusing materials, and the impact of recycling on the war machinery's own wastefulness. Conscious of systematic recycling in Nazi Germany and its own dependence on imports, the British government established a salvage department only weeks after the outbreak of war. Beginning in 1940, this department required all large towns to collect recyclable materials. Salvage, beyond lessening shortages, served ideological and psychological aims, because reused materials were turned into weapons. This led to a critical redefinition of recycling as the war progressed. People who previously characterised the Third Reich's recycling programmes as typical fascist control now considered compulsory recycling in Great Britain wholly positive. However, protesters claimed the government was causing irreparable harm by salvaging items whose value far exceeded their worth as scrap. The harvesting of books, periodicals and manuscripts as ‘waste’ paper proved particularly contentious, with some arguing that their own government was adding to the destruction that bombs were causing to Great Britain's cultural inheritance.

Abstract:

The cathode materials of LiFePO4 batteries decreases due to the gradual loss of lithium content during use. In this paper, the spent cathode materials were recycled with a carbon layer coated. The samples were prepared by a high temperature impurity removal procession and a solid phase repairing method. The LiFePO4 material obtained by the regeneration process has a discharge specific capacity of 105.4 mAh/g at 0.1 C after 10 cycles, and keeps it a considerable retention of 73.1 mAh/g at 1 C. This work provides a new routine in reusing lithium ion batteries.

Abstract:

The waste cooking oils (WCOs), when wrongly discarded, bring environmental damages, additionally to structural problems and financial losses if released in the sewage system. However, the correct management of this residue allows its reuse and recycling, representing economic gains, besides social and environmental benefits. There are several alternatives to recycling and reusing WCOs and the biodiesel production presents itself as one of the most important. Nevertheless, it is necessary to guarantee the residue quality in order to utilize its potential, as well as a coordinated management of WCO, promoting the correct processing and disposal of this waste. In this context, this article aims to propose an environmentally appropriate WCO onsite handling and collection in Lavras-MG, by evaluating the WCO management at three establishments in the city. The evaluation had taken into account the quantity of WCO generated, handling, storage and collection methods adopted, and the quality of the residue, by analyzing levels of acid, iodine and peroxide and saponification value. The results revealed the current management of the WCO, the actors involved in the management chain, the way the different frying and storage processes influence the WCO quality for reusing and recycling and possible alternatives to improve the management. The WCO management chain, composed of ACAMAR, G-Óleo, E1 and E2, is widespread and shows potential to transform the WCO into several other products, in addition to biodiesel and handmade soap. At long last to coordinate the correct WCO handling, collection, processing and disposal it is essential to guarantee the participation of the generators, collectors, and the government.

Abstract:

Abstract The article approaches the inspiration of recycling at different levels of understanding. The introduction describes the meanings of the word recycling as it is perceived in relation to architecture. The first chapter approaches recycling through its most common understanding as material reuse, describing how the recycling of materials can inspire architecture. The second chapter takes up recycling in the sense of conversion, pointing out the particular importance of addressing this issue. The chapter mentions four theories dealing with approaches to conversion, which are specified through examples, and points to architectural recycling motivated by idea and by religion. The third chapter discusses architecture is inspired by recycling or reusing architectural elements that become the bearer of the idea of behind a new architectural concept. The fourth chapter reflects on understanding the recycling of architecture as taking on the formal image of historical architectural styles, thus reflected in the historical styles of the 19th century and postmodernism of the 20th century. The fifth chapter “Recycling the idea” seeks recycling at the level of the idea, by incorporating old ideas into modern concepts, referring to the Ideal City of Chaux and to Ricardo Bofill, the motif of the medieval mázhaus and Socrates’ house. In the sixth chapter, entitled “Recycling as a concept”, we read about inspiring architecture that takes on recycling at many levels of meaning, becoming important for objectifying the ideological essence of the work. The conclusion of the paper briefly summarizes the results of the work and its essence, summarizing a subjective evaluation of the issue.

Abstract:

Increasing and promoting recycling is crucial to achieving sustainable consumption. However, this is a complex task that involves the interplay of beliefs, knowledge and situational factors in ways not yet understood. This study examines a spill-over model in which perceived consumer effectiveness influences the adoption of an easy task (carrying reusable shopping bags) and that, in turn, influences recycling. Using data from a national survey with a representative sample of 1286 respondents in Colombia, we test a hypothesized path using a mediation model. Our results suggest that the relationship between perceived consumer effectiveness and recycling is mediated by the use of reusable shopping bags. Thus, once the adoption of simple pro-environmental behavior is triggered by pro-environmental beliefs, spillover effects may ensue to favor the adoption of recycling behavior. This suggests that individuals may adopt pro-environmental behavior in stages or levels. Therefore, focusing on behaviors that require less effort (e.g., reducing/reusing) could be a starting point when it comes to encouraging the adoption of other behaviors that demand a greater level of effort such as recycling. This study suggests that attitudinal variables can be the starting point of spill-over effects.

Abstract:

The waste recycling is a process in which the new products are made from used products to provide more benefits for human being and to maintain the sustainable ecosystem. It is based on theological assumption that a waste, whatever bad of it, is a part of nature as inseperable way of God’s creation. This article argues that recycling process is human’s responsibility to serve the earth with reorganizing and reusing every possible useable things into commodities or others. As a part of prodoct which is possible to be purified (mutanajjis in Islamic term), a waste could be utilized to the useful products for human. Islam, for this term, also ruled the essence of human brain to make use God’s creation.

Abstract:

The use of Lithium-ion batteries in the automobile sector has expanded drastically in the recent years. The foreseen increment of lithium to power electric and hybrid electric vehicles has provoked specialists to analyze the long term credibility of lithium as a transportation asset. To give a better picture of future accessibility, this paper exhibits a life cycle model for the key procedures and materials associated with the electric vehicle lithium-ion battery life cycle, on a worldwide scale. This model tracks the flow of lithium and energy sources from extraction, to generation, to on road utilization, and the role of reusing and scrapping. This life cycle evaluation model is the initial phase in building up an examination model for the lithium ion battery production that would enable the policymakers to survey the future importance of lithium battery recycling, and when in time setting up a reusing foundation be made necessary.

Abstract:

Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composites are used in many applications for their excellent strength-to-weight ratio. These properties are significant barriers for achieving the 3R concept (Recycle, Reuse, and Reduce). Inverse manufacturing is a recent technology that produces new materials and industrial goods from FRP waste based on life-cycle assessment (LCA), and it is expected to help solve the problems of 3R associated with FRP [1-. However, no effective recycling system of FRP has been established because of the cross-linked structure of thermosetting resin matrix and inorganic reinforcement fibers. To investigate the possibility of recycling and reusing both matrix and reinforcements, a project of preventing environmental deterioration was performed. In this study, a new decomposition method for recycling FRP waste by superheated steam was developed. Separation of the resin matrix and reinforcement fiber from the FRP was attempted, the FRP recycled from the separated fibers was remolded; this is called R-FRP.

Ceramics, Composite Material, GFRP, Clay, Recycling, Bending strength Abstract In this study, as the effective recycling technique for the waste GFRP, the process for the producing the porous glass fiber reinforced ceramics by firing the mixture of the clay and the crushed waste GFRP was proposed. The proposed recycling technique for the waste GFRP enables to produce various ceramics parts by effectively reusing the glass fibers included in the waste GFRP as well as to dispose injurious GFRP radically. By changing the mixing ratio of the waste GFRP and clay, and by firing the mixture at some temperatures, several kinds of ceramics specimens (tiles) were produced. The microstructure of each specimen was observed using the SEM and the microscope, and then water absorption and the bending strength of the specimens were examined in detail by comparison with those of specimens without the glass fiber. From those results, it was confirmed that the high-strength porous glass fiber reinforced ceramics could be produced by our proposed process.

Abstract:

As environmental problems have become more serious, a sustainable society is necessary. To realize the inverse manufacturing system the prime problem is how to improve the rate of reusing the product modules. Therefore analyzing the life-time of the disassembled modules is very important before reassembling process. In this paper, a cumulative damage model is proposed to discuss the quality of the product that is assembled by reuse modules. It is supposed that modules suffer damages due to shocks and fails when the cumulative damage level exceeds the failure level. Then maintenance cost will be analyzed in order to minimize the expected maintenance cost-rate by optimal maintenance time T and optimal number of damages N in this cumulative damage model. The probable safe life-time of module reuse will be explored. Finally numerical examples are given to confirm the validity of the proposed model.

Abstract:

The sludge extracted from chemical sedimentation basins shows a high concentration of aluminium which was added in the rapid mix tank. Therefore, the sludge volume after activation treatment with hydrochloric acid can be reused in order to coagulate turbid matter and humic substances in influent water. This study has focussed on examining the effectiveness of this sludge recycling process. HPLC with a RI detector was used to determine the molecular weight (M. W.) of PAC in the pH range of 3.0∼5.0. Results indicated that PAC was composed of two kinds of aluminium complexes at pH 3, having a M. W. of about 11,200 and 6,400. The M. W. of PAC in the pH variation and after the repetition of the activation treatment was also determined. Moreover, the abilities of PAC activated under the variable pH values to coagulate simulated natural surface water containing kaolin or humic acid were evaluated though jar-tests. When the pH in activated PAC was set at under 4, the coagulability of PAC did not deteriorate even if the activation treatment was repeated three times. In conclusion, the effectiveness of this process in practical use has been made clear from three points of view: the ph, the M. W., and the coagulability of PAC.
