Designing Eco-Effective Reverse Logistics Networks

Reverse Logistics Networks (RLNs) have grown in importance after return policies became compulsory. Lately, questions have been raised whether they are as helpful to the environment as possible. Efforts have been conducted to optimize RLNs in terms of their eco-efficiency, minimizing costs and emissions; still, results are not advancing with the necessary speed. Alternatively, the ecoeffectiven...

Designing eco-industrial parks: a synthesis of some experiences

Sustainability requires a consideration of the social or community dimension as well as ecological integrity and economic efficiency. Further, ecological systems emphasize interaction and interdependence. Definitions of eco-industrial parks have begun to address this by referring to them as communities of business. The paper describes a number of initiatives, particularly in the United States a...

Designing a Bilingual Eco-Ontology for Open and Intuitive Search

In environmental databases there is a plethora of data, described in different terminologies, stored in different data structures and referring to distinct time periods and locations. Thus it is difficult for non-experts to find the data they are looking for. Adding an ontology-layer, which provides semantic enhancement, provides the underlying data structure for an open and intuitive search in...

A Simple Dynamic Multispecies Biofilm Model Which Considers Diffusion and Degradation of Multiple Substrates

A new model is presented for fast calculation of the removal of multiple substrates by different bacterial species growing in a biofilm reactor. The model is an extension to the well-known halforder reaction concept that combines a zero order kinetic dependency on substrate concentration with diffusion limitation. In a first step active fractions of the biomass present in the biofilm are calcul...
