Towards Grammars for Cradle-to-Cradle Design

Cradle to cradle design (C2C) considers material use and reuse as integral to the composition and specification of the design. Since grammars have been used extensively to model design processes, we consider the possibilities of grammars to model C2C design. Central to our proposal is the idea that products cannot be designed in isolation, but C2C desiderata can only be achieved by explicit des...

E-Waste Management & Clean Technologies

Management of e-waste is becoming a challengeable issue in today’s world. The increase of waste and the need for saving the environment are two global debates in the world. These managerial problems come as a result of technological advancements and globalization as global forces toward complexity. These global forces made e-waste management become a world’s priority issue followed by cleaning ...

Cradle to Cradle for End-user Computing Devices in Business

Whilst computers can and do contribute significantly to improving our use of sustainable materials and practices, computers themselves are responsible for the consumption of large amounts of such resources, contributing extensively to hazardous waste. The aim of this study is to develop a model for organisations to collect data regarding their end-user device implementation and identify areas f...

'Cradle-to-grave' assessment of existing lignocellulose pretreatment technologies.

Pretreatment is considered to be a central unit process in a biorefinery to convert lignocellulosic biomass into fuels and chemicals, affecting all other operations in the process. A variety of technologies to pretreat lignocellulosic biomass are available today, which encompass a wide range of physical, chemical, and biological based processes. Among these, chemical based pretreatments are con...
