Despite the growing endeavors by political bodies, companies and researchers to support and act to transition to a more sustainable and circular economy, we are still behind the schedules set by European and global Institutions. The seminar will address in particular two among the challenges that slow down the transition:
Agenda:
- the need for quantitative but easy-to-handle methods to support decision-making in the product design phase, in particular concerning material selection for sustainability
- the potential rebound effects that prevent achieving the expected sustainability gains of moves towards circularity
Agenda:
- Introduction (Nicola Saccani)
- Escape tool for sustainability evaluation to support decision-making in the product design phase (Elza Bontempi)
- To what extent are circularity initiatives leading to enhanced sustainability performance? (Daniela Pigosso)
- Final discussion
