▼ Human behavior has since the industrial revolution had an enormous impact on climate, and the construction sector is a significant contributing factor. One possible way to reduce resource consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, would be to replace current linear economy systems with systems based on circular economy. For the construction sector, such a transition would imply building mainly with a circular use of building materials and products. Such a transition creates numerous challenges, not the least for architects who must adopt their design processes.
Design for a circular use of building components does occur to a small extent, but often with inefficient and unsystematic design processes. For architects to fully be able to design with already used components, the development of a structured design process is needed. Not much research has been done regarding circular building design, and even less which concerns how theory can be implemented in the everyday design practice of architects. Therefore, this master thesis investigates how a design process could be modelled to support architects in designing for a circular use of building components. Through studying literature, through interviewing architects who work with circular design and through studying three different construction projects implementing circularity, deeper understanding has been reached regarding potentially necessary elements, usable tools and possible challenges that might be encountered during a such a design process.
Based on the research findings, a structure for a design process, with and for, reused components, has been developed as the main result of this thesis. The process can be used to guide architects who aim to design for circularity, with the aim to slightly reduce the gap between theory and implementation of circular economy principles in the construction sector.

▼ This project is questioning our modern way of life. With the current capitalistic economy we are draining the world on resources and creating inequality among people. It is often said the the capitalistic system is lifting people out of poverty and there is no better way. However, it is proven to be negative for our ecology and it is important that we find new ways of develop mobility. So our future generations can enjoy the freedom that we today have become so ac-customed to. What can we do to consume less and respect the world we are living by. Is it a matter of consuming green. Or do we need a fundamental change in how we create things. A bright light in these questions is maybe to head into a circular economy. This project therefore explores how a automotive interior would look like when designed with a circular mindset. Could a Universal Basic Income reduce extraction and what is the role of A.I and automation in the development for better mobility. For this project an in depth literature research was carried out to gather information about our economic system and social factors. The research about digitalisation and automatisation have been gathered from highly regard-ed magazines and web news papers. Second part of the research is also web based, and about sustainable materials that could be used in this interior concept. The design phase started with creation of a user in a chinese context, based from the trend analyzer firm Stylus. China was chosen because it’s a rapid growing economy and it’s the main market for the Chinese-owned car brand Lynk & Co. The collaboration partner for this thesis. The design phase followed with sketching to quickly visualize early ideas. These were then brought into a CAID program to fit the chosen package of a small city car. The design was created around a male mannequin to ensure usability. A full-size mockup was built to test functions and validate design around a large male and the smallest female percentile. The project resulted in a strategic concept of how a new business model would push for a greener development using a circular mindset. From that perspective a interior was created using sustainable materials. The overall struc-ture is covered in a hard cover manufactured in recycled plastic. The seating and dashboard were design with the highly efficient material Abroform in mind. Abroform is based of Lignin which is a byproduct of the paper indus-try. Therefore no additional extraction is needed making it sustainable. Further it had all the positive design charac-teristics from conventional plastics. The soft seat cushions and the front dash was designed with compressed felt, manufactured from organic wool. These parts created a friendly and soft interior and are easy changeable for maintaining purposes. Overall the interior focused on providing smart storage solutions using few materials with an “bolt-on aesthetic”. The design language is using a friendly surface treatment and to include users make the journey pleasant.

▼ The average lifespan of a sofa has fallen dramatically over recent decades—from twenty-five years to fewer than eight years (Palmer, 2012).
Two key factors are driving this decline: function and fashion.
Changes to construction methods and materials have resulted in many sofas failing faster and making repair difficult or cost-prohibitive. Meanwhile fashion cycles have become increasingly rapid, resulting in even fully functional sofas being replaced with trendier, more up-to-date styles.
In both cases, sofas typically end up in landfill. This wastes resources, is polluting to the environment, and more resources are consumed in the remanufacture of replacement sofas.
This system, referred to as the linear (or, take-make-dispose) production model is unsustainable and recent research suggests manufacturing products in this way is one of the most pollutive and damaging activities for our environment (Porcelijn, 2016).
This cycle is being further accelerated due to increased transience of young adults, who are moving more often and living in shared accommodation for longer. It is therefore difficult for even the most well-intentioned consumers to justify buying higher-quality products which last longer, as they are usually more expensive and harder to move, so do not meet current lifestyle needs (Kurutz, 2013 & Petersen, 2017).
Increasing awareness of our environmental responsibilities and finite resources has led to a growing desire by industry and consumers alike to address these issues. While there has been much research into sustainable
design, and many new products branded eco-friendly have been introduced, in practice environmental issues have not been adequately addressed (sections 12 & 13).
Manufacturers have focused on biodegradable and recycled materials. Recent research, and the emerging concept of a ‘
Circular Economy’, has highlighted the shortfall in this approach, and is encouraging industry to rethink products to
design out waste, keep materials in use and regenerate natural systems (Ellen MacArthur Foundation, 2017a).
This approach has not yet been widely researched in, or applied to, furniture
design.
With core themes of repair, adaptability, and considering how this affects ownership models (such as leasing vs owning), a
Circular Economy model shows promise in addressing the negative environmental impacts of furniture
design and manufacture.
This research investigates new scenarios for sofa
design and ownership within a
circular economy model, developed through an iterative ‘research through design’ process.
The resulting expandable, repairable and adaptable sofa system reduces the volume to landfill of sofas by almost 80 percent over thirty years (section 20).
Utilising a
design for deconstruction strategy reduces waste, allows for refurbishing, remanufacture and effective recycling, and increases adaptability, thus allowing a wider pool of potential users. This also supports the potential for new ownership models, such as the Product-as-a-Service model wherein a user does not need to…

▼ Repurpose, the reuse of (parts of) obsolete products in new applications seems a promising strategy towards a
circular economy because products can be (partly) reused without applying any energy consuming recycling process, which often results in a loss of material quality. As repurpose is a strategy to retain value, the process is applied after the product has been used. This can make repurpose a challenge strategy as products are not created with repurpose in mind.
Circular product
design could be an answer to use repurpose more effectively as products could be designed at forehand to be repurposed. Within this thesis, the aim was to create a set of guidelines for repurpose
design, so designers and companies can get guidance in how to circularly
design products for repurpose, to optimally reuse and retain material value. Literature research was done regarding the
circular economy, the value hill and the topic of repurpose. Next to that, an explorative study was performed to gain insights in the practical approach of
design and repurpose. This was done by investigating repurpose examples and conducting semi-structured interviews with (repurpose
design) companies, on the topic of repurpose and
design for repurpose. After that, the theoretical and practical insights on the topic of
design for repurpose were gathered and formed into the first set of
design for repurpose guidelines. Hereby two different tactics for
design for repurpose were identified. One open ended approach repurpose approach (embracing uncertainty) and one close ended repurpose approach (embracing certainty). In the
design phase, these new guidelines in
design for repurpose were tested, by applying them in a
design for repurpose case study. In cooperation with Springtime
Design, a shared electrical step was chosen as the initial product. By applying the guidelines, the e-step was analyzed and the focus was given on repurposing the battery and motor components. By following the guidelines, a new suitable product was found in the form of a battery and motor module for an e-bike. By applying the guidelines of embodiment
design, the concept TURN was developed. The potential of the
design for repurpose guidelines was captured in the concept TURN, a repurposable motor and battery module for a shared electrical step. By three distinguishable functional modules, TURN is designed to be easily reconfigured from an e-step motor and battery into an e-bike motor and battery. By evaluating the
design process of TURN, a revised set of the guidelines was created. Based on the
design process of TURN, it could be concluded that the guidelines for
design for repurpose could serve as a base set of guidelines to provide guidance for designers and companies in how to circularly
design for repurpose. However, more case studies should be done, to test the overall understandability and the usability of these guidelines. Although it is expected that these guidelines will contribute in a positive way of optimally reusing and retaining material value, real cases need to be…

▼ O presente documento foi elaborado no âmbito da conclusão do mestrado em
Design de Produto da Escola Superior de Artes e
Design – Matosinhos, e tem como base o trabalho de investigação proposto e executado na empresa IDEIA.M durante a realização do estágio curricular, onde a temática da Economia
Circular (EC) foi escolhida.
A EC se tornou uma importante estratégia de crescimento econômico mediante a gestão dos recursos e da criação de valor através de ciclos fechados e novos modelos de negócio. Empresas ao redor do mundo já aplicam seus conceitos e princípios, e Governantes estão instituindo leis e planos de ação para que sejam aplicados, é ainda previsto que seu alcance e prática continue a crescer. No entanto, ainda existem dificuldades para empresas bem sucedidas no mercado consentirem a transição da sua atual gestão de modelo de negócios para EC. Dada a importância do tema e a limitada ação colaborativa em Portugal, a presente investigação discorre sobre a sustentabilidade, o diferencial da EC e o papel do designer neste contexto; conseguinte, por meio de um estudo exploratório através de observação, recolha e análise de dados, os princípios e conceitos são aplicados em uma empresa Portuguesa de mobiliário de escritório com o objetivo de compreender a sua gestão atual e como fazer a transição para EC. Dessarte, foi desenvolvida uma prova de conceito teórico para validar esta investigação com abordagem de ferramentas metodológicas do
Design Circular.

▼ Our world and environment is facing a multitude of complex and intertwined environmental problems. Man made climate change, caused by anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions and causing an array of negative environmental effects. The raw material input and throughput currently necessary to sustain our human activities which create large quantities of waste. The built environment plays a large role in both: accounting to 50% of the raw materials used, 40% of the national waste stream, 40% of the total energy use in the Netherlands and 35% of the CO2 emissions. A proposed solution for the waste problem is the shift from a linear economy to a circular economy. A proposed solution for the energy problem is transitioning to a (nearly) zero energy built environment. In this context, the depth of energy renovation of the existing building stock - which poses the biggest challenge for a (nearly) zero energy building stock - and building for the circular economy both needs to grow. However, in the current policies in place, energy efficiency and high energy performance of buildings are prioritised over circularity. This can unintentionally result in building design and materials that do not lend themselves for circularity. It is not the high energy performance hindering the adoption of circular building design, but the choice of construction technique and materials. Furthermore, there is also a lack of consensus about how circularity in buildings can be assessed, while there are well known methods of assessing energy performance of buildings. In this research, technical building design(s) for an energy renovation project are examined, implementing both circularity and energy performance ambitions. These building design(s) are assessed on their energy performance on the one hand, and on their circular performance on the other, by use of an assessment method partly based on existing circularity assessment methods and partly redefined and further developed for use in this thesis. The assessment method contains the following performance indicators: MAT1 intensity of material use, MAT2 environmental cost, MAT3 design for disassembly, MAT4 design for circular life cycles and E1 energy efficiency. This assessment is used the answer the main research question: “To what extent can circularity be implemented in the designs of energy renovation projects?” The technical design(s) and the assessments of the design(s) thus support the scientific knowledge about the codevelopment of circularity and (nearly) zero energy ambitions in renovation projects, focusing on the meso scale of individual buildings. The research also supports the development of consensus about how the level of circularity in buildings can best be measured.

▼ ‘Revitalising Parkstad’’ is an architectural strategy that demonstrates how Parkstad can make use of its environmental deficit of the past to shape its future. After closing the mines Parkstad is now suffering from shrinkage, unemployment and fragmentation. Besides that there is the problem of upcoming mine water that forms a problem regarding the ground water quality. In order to tackle these issues Parkstad is working as a corporation of eight municipalities to improve the liveability by stimulating tourism that will simultaneously boost the economy of Parkstad. Similar to the linear economy of the coal mining industry, the economic and social growth that will come with improving touristic attractions are strongly accompanied by an increasing amount of waste, causing unnecessary losses of materials and energy. In order to maintain the population and the increasing amount of visitors in Parkstad, there has to be a change in the relationship between people, energy and the environment. To ensure a sustainable future, an urgent increase is required in energy generated through local available and renewable sources, like geothermal energy from mine water, and circular waste streams. By generating an overview of the input and output on energy, water and materials of the urban metabolism of Parkstad Limburg, a strategy was proposed to improve the resource efficiency to become a circular economy. The most important component of this strategy is the central park situated at the former Oranje Nassau IV mine, where mine water is purified. Here tourists are able to experience how the flows of ENERGY, WATER and MATERIALS come together. The mine water treatment park has three functional levels: the technical buildings, connecting heat and water infrastructures and as a storage and distribution facility, to serve the local heat network, as a public meeting point with recreational and educational facilities to host public activities, and as a symbol for Parkstad as a region of energy and circular economy. They learn about circularity that is partly constructed in cooperation and participation with inhabitants.

▼ Many responsible companies are committed to promoting sustainability and circularity, but suffer from not being able to communicate these concepts and efforts to their users and influence them. KPN is one of these companies. This project aims to find effective approaches to communicate with customers so that they can engage more deeply in the KPN’s circular supply chain. Taking into account time constraints and customer expectations, the scope of the project is narrowed down to KPN in-home services and products in 2C market. Literature review on circular economy and sustainability and green marketing is further conducted, which further proves the value that sustainability communication can bring to the company. The existing research of KPN shows that customer’s perception of sustainability is relatively low when experiencing KPN services and products. To better understand the context and the reason behind this research result, desk research and customer journey analysis are conducted. Various findings lead to that the main problem in the current situation is sustainable information asymmetry, and the design should focus on installation, daily use and maintenance phases where customers have the highest opportunities to reach sustainability information. This thesis adopts the 10 principles for providing product sustainability information from United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and International Trade Centre (ITC) as the design guideline. These principles are further developed to detailed design requirements and desires, which lay a foundation for the latter ideation. Design iteration was carried out between multiple creative sessions, employee validation and customer interviews. In the end, a solution that consists of six concepts proposed to solve the design challenge. Through ways like communicating in personified tone, clearly displaying useful or interesting information and nudging customers to take sustainable action, customers can perceive the high sustainability of KPN while having an optimized user experience. A roadmap with three horizons provides a possible implementation plan for KPN. Although in this report, the researches and designs are related to KPN in-home product, the results of the project are of interest to companies that are also facing low customer-perceived sustainability.

▼ SummaryAt the basis of the Circularity game is the Circularity deck (Konietzko, Bocken, & Hultink, 2020), it helps teams innovate for the
Circular economy on various perspective levels and provides the users with a better understanding of the
Circular economy and how they can innovate for it. They also gain a valid (set of) idea(s) , which they can start using already.The goal with the Circularity game was to improve the Circularity Deck, through gamification, in such a way that it...: ...stimulates creativity, multidisciplinary cooperation and innovation more;...motivates its users to engage more with it, driving enthusiasm and use;...is an easily accessible, stand-alone, ready to use product.From a project perspective, the value lies in showing that gamification is a worthwhile approach to reaching these goals and that further research and
design in this direction is warranted.The project started with understanding the theory behind creativity and gamification. Taking the understanding of this and combining it into one theoretical construct that could be used in the
design.The next step in the project was to better understand what the Circularity game should be. To know this, the various methods and tools were evaluated and chosen (most notably Octalysis) and an understanding of the intended user needs was created. The original deck was analyzed on a functional level and the goals for it, from the creators’ perspective, were established.What followed was creating a functional
design filling the gaps of the original and laying the basic framework of what the new
design should be. It took into account the various goals of the creators and the needs of the users in conjunction with the tools that Octalysis provided, specifically the core drives and the amount they needed to be applied in the
design. This resulted in a ‘skeleton’ of requirements that could be filled with the right amount of ideas, fitting the established requirements.Next up was filling this ‘skeleton’ with the needed ‘meat’. This was done through various ideation methods, creating solutions for the problems provided by the framework. Which solutions to use and which to exclude was based on the established understanding at that point.To avoid a ‘Frankenstein’s monster’, the
design included an envisioning of how it would be used and interacted with by the users. This helped to shape the Circularity game into a coherent, well working and pleasant experience.Near the end of the project, a working prototype of the new Circularity game was made and tested in a small student group, the results of this can be found near the end of the report.The report ends with conclusions and reflections on the
design and provides recommendations for further research and development. The main conclusion is that the gamification seems to be working and that further development in this direction seems a worthwhile endeavor for the Circularity deck or game. However, the conducted test was very limited and can only be seen as a positive early indicator of the value of…

▼ The world is becoming more and more technology-driven. The consumption of electronic products leads to an increase in electronic waste (e-waste). More than half of all the e-waste that is generated in the Netherlands originates from domestic appliances (WEEE register, 2019) and only 9% of all the e-waste will be recycled (Renewi, personal communication, 2019). The remaining waste will be dumped into landfill sites, and the energy and resources used to make the products will get lost, therefor products need to be designed with a ‘
circular approach’. The goal of the
circular economy is to use products, equipment and infrastructure for a longer time, and to improve the productivity of these resources. (Ellen MacArthur Foundation). One of the strategies of extending the life time of products within the
circular economy is refurbishment: “A process of returning a product to good working condition by replacing or repairing major components that are faulty or close to failure, and making ‘cosmetic’ changes to update the appearance of a product” (Ellen MacArthur Foundation). Right now, refurbished products are not a common consumer choice. Therefor the question that is answered in this master thesis is: How can the
design of a household appliance be optimized to increase the consumer acceptance with regard to the refurbished product? The research was divided in three parts. First the motivation of the consumer was investigated by means of a literature review and a survey amongst consumers. Then the preferred aesthetics of refurbished appliances were researched through literature and doing in-dept interviews. Lastly a research was done in order to optimize this process of refurbishment. Interviews and observations where done with repairers and refurbishers. Based on the results of the consumer research three different target groups were identified; the ecological buyer, the economical buyer and the secure buyer. Consumer research shows that the three aspects reparability, cleanability and timelessness cause a more efficient refurbishment process and a greater customer acceptance of the refurbished products. These aspects are turned into a set of guidelines that will serve as proposed requirements to
design for refurbishment. They must be taken into account when designing the product, choosing materials and maintaining the product. However, only incorporating these guidelines would not be sufficient to enhance the consumer acceptance of refurbished products. Research showed that not only performance of the product plays a large role in the acceptance of the product. Awareness and trust should also be created. In addition, the experience of buying a refurbished product should be as fun and exciting as buying a new product. It was found, that when the product still looks like new, the customer is more likely to trust the product. The concept ‘looking good, feeling good’ is created on this insight. The core of the concept is that part of the cover can be replaced or refinished. Therefor the machine looks new while preserving the…

▼ Waste streams from cruise ships come back into nature which negatively influences the environment. Research has shown that actions need to be taken to reduce climate change. Not only the government should take their responsibility, but also other businesses, like the cruise industry. The cruise industry is a growing business and cruise ships have an environmental impact. This study aims to contribute to the development of sustainable, circular cruise ships. Specifically, the gas, fluid, and solid waste streams. The final product is a roadmap, based on waste stream analyses, towards a set of targets and goals. This master thesis, examines which steps need to be taken, focusing on the three waste streams to make the transition towards circular cruise ships following the City-zen method to comply with the UN sustainable development goals. Three roadmaps are made, with three different levels of ambition; 1. Fully Circular, 2. Collaboration Ship & Land, and 3. Positive effect on the environment to find the best way to design a sustainable cruise ship. The research can be subdivided into four main sections, background information, waste stream analysis, master planning, and conclusions. These four main sections are all in relation to the case study, cruise ships from Royal Caribbean Ltd. A literature study is conducted to obtain the needed information. The results show that it is impossible to ensure that no waste enters the environment under the conditions made for the specific roadmaps. On this basis, a combination of the three roadmaps and their technical solutions is made to design the sustainable circular cruise ship. The final design for retrofit cruise ships and newly built cruise ships is not fully circular. The treated black and grey water and bilge water still contain pollutants that come back into the sea. However, the emissions from the gas stream are reduced or fully eliminated, more pollutants are removed from the black, grey and bilge water, pollutant by-products are recycled on land, heat is recovered and reused, clean products as biogas, biodiesel and struvite are produced, seawater as ballast water is not needed, and non-hazardous and hazardous waste is reduced, reused and recycled. These adjustments and additions should be added to prevent waste discharge into the environment. This research also shows that the same design principles and interventions used in cities and building complexes can also be implemented on cruise ships, like the New Stepped Strategy, Cradle to Cradle, material passport, plants, heat pumps, and the energy exchange principle. Further research is needed into technical systems to treat and prevent waste from entering the environment and into other criteria like cost, energy consumption, needed materials and emissions.

▼ DSM Dyneema produces an extremely strong fibre called Dyneema® consisting of Ultra High Molecular weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE). The Dyneema® material has been trademarked by its manufacturer as The Greenest strength™. This claim is based on the non-toxic chemical nature of the material and its production, as well as on having the lowest carbon footprint on a strength to weight ratio. Due to this strength of the fibre, less material is required than alternatives to achieve the same level of performance, thus a reduction in carbon footprint can be achieved. The Carbon footprint during manufacturing and use is lower than its competitors. However at the end of its product life Dyneema® fibre products are incinerated or landfilled. DSM Dyneema wants to have a circular alternative for the end of life of Dyneema® fibre products. In this thesis the design process is described to create a circular product from production waste material from Dyneema®. Using the context variation by design approach, requirements for a circular product are combined with material properties and possible contexts for applications. The result is a design proposal for a summer sleeping bag, that is well suited for the different types of use that befall a summer sleeping bag. It will be made from Dyneema® production waste and recycled materials, and allows user to send it back to the manufacturer after it has lived out its useful life, free of charge. The manufacturer can then re-use the materials for new sleeping bags, or recycle them otherwise, thus preventing the material from falling out of the loop.

▼ This project covers the development of the complete Design for Longevity framework
which can be used to aid in the transition towards a circular economy and developing
more sustainable products. The project consist of several phases, including a
research phase, where a literature review is conducted. In this phase it is concluded
of how product longevity should be managed in order to appropriately Design for
Longevity, where it more specifically becomes clear that product developers should
strive to design for a specific longevity, the optimal. The optimal product lifetime
can in theory be obtained by considering the three contextual aspects; the user, the
business and the resources efficiency. This way of thinking is used as the basis in the
development phase, where a complete theoretical Design for Longevity framework is
developed. The developed framework consist of a wholesome definition and mindset,
along with a process and visualization tool to support the implementation of
it. This framework is later evaluated in the evaluation phase, using semi-structured
interviews within the Automotive industry, where several possible improvements are
obtained. These improvements are resolved in the creation phase, resulting in an
mediating implementation tool, the Design for Longevity Guide - A developed guide
to ease the implementation of Design for Longevity. The Design for Longevity Guide
is then validated in the validation phase, using a combination of a case study and a
focus group within the Automotive industry. This entails the possibility to conclude
that the Design for Longevity framework works both in theory and in practice. It
can either be used and applied on less complex product to obtain feasible actions
and smaller improvements, or serve as a facilitation tool to reflect and discuss upon
possible improvements on more complex products. The results from the research-,
development- and evaluation phase are presented to academia using a scientific article,
Design for Longevity – A Framework to Support the Designing of a Product’s
Optimal Lifetime.

▼ The societal shift towards the circular economy is gaining momentum due to the push from the legislation side and the increasing social awareness towards the ecological imbalance caused by the linear model of resource extraction and consumption. The topic of design for the circular economy is gaining increasing interest in both academia and industry. The circular economy requires products to be designed based on a lifecycle approach and extended lifetime.This thesis aimed to investigate the potential application of modular design strategy as a supportive approach to aid Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) in their bid to adapt their product features to fit within a circular economic model. Furthermore, the study has investigated the potential challenges encountered during the adoption of such a design strategy and concludes with recommendations to overcome the identified challenges.To address this aim, a case study was carried out within a global OEM, based on their interest in exploring the circular economy's design domain. A literature review and interviews have been conducted to assess how product circularity factors can be addressed using a modular design strategy and identifying the potential challenges that can hinder its realization.The study initially identified seven design factors that need to be addressed along the different phases of a product lifecycle to ensure a fit within a circular economic model. The seven circularity factors are design: based on a lifecycle approach, for durability, for adaptability, for upgradability, for ease of maintenance and repair, for ease of disassembly and reassembly, and standardization and compatibility.The study also revealed that a standardized and simplified interface between different modules within the product plays a vital role in enhancing its ability to address the different circularity factors. The standardized interface in the modular product qualifies the product to become useable for multiple usage cycles. Furthermore, such a modular product can be considered an open-source product since it can continuously be updated with the latest available technology. Such continuous updates allow the open-source product to adapt to the changes in the working environment effectively.Despite the capability of a modular design strategy to address the different circularity factors, several challenges can hinder its implementation in the industry. The primary challenge industries face when adopting such a strategy is identifying the main objectives of such an approach. Further, this strategy might negatively impact product profitability, which is a significant challenge for the industries. Moreover, the prospect of adopting modular strategies also faces design challenges, such as the potential of losing customer interest in a modular product.The thesis concludes with a few recommendations to overcome these challenges associated with adopting a modular design strategy for a circular economy. To overcome such challenges, industries need clear identification of the…

▼ This study aims to examine the possibilities and limitations ofresidual products from the Swedish food industry for new uses inpackaging design. The selection in the study is semi strategicallyrandom and through the selection four interviews were conductedvia e-mail, two interviews from RISE and two from the Swedishdesign agencies Snask and Bedow. The interviews are based on thestudy's question issues; What innovative packaging materials withproperties corresponding to plastics are available in the Swedishmarket? And How does a selection of Swedish design agenciesapproach the innovative packaging materials available on theSwedish market? Through results and analysis we have come tothe conclusion that there is a great awareness of design agencieswhen it comes to making environmentally conscious designdecisions and that it is highly relevant in today's society. Duringthe study, interesting packaging material was discovered. What hasalso emerged is that it is a matter of course to have to be climatefriendly as everything depends on demand from customers andconsumers. There are no direct regulations to relate to, but it is upto each individual how to relate to a more sustainabledevelopment. However, in order for a societal transformation totake place, collaboration between the various social sectors isrequired (Svenska vetenskapsrådet Formas, 2018).

▼ The business wide objective of Philips regarding the transition to the
circular economy is among others, that 15% of the total revenue should be from
circular revenue from products and services by 2020.Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome use a CPAP machine at home to keep their airways open during sleep. The Sleep & Respiratory Care business of Philips creates these products and needs to reach the same general sustainability targets related to
circular revenue. The masks and headgear are medical consumables and are replaced on a regularly basis according to the insurance’s reimbursement cycle. The products are not always broken when they are replaced and the current headgear
design can not be recycled. Next to this, the products are provided to the patient through multiple stakeholders whereby Philips has low control over the material flow. Therefore, in this project the products are redesigned to become ‘
circular ready’ and a roadmap for the implementation of new
circular propositions have been created. A Life Cycle Assessment tool is created to assess the life cycle of the current product system and compare this to new designs and scenarios in an iterative way. The propositions are based on the three different
circular strategies: Slowing resource loops, Closing resource loops and material efficiency. The new
design has been optimized for a longer lifetime and easier cleaning ritual, as a first short term
circular strategy. The new headgear will be made with a knitting production technique and two arms that slide in this piece. This
design is based on the just released headgear with arms
design of Philips. This ensures comfort and more stability for the user. It is recyclable and is material efficiently produced. The business model is redesigned in combination with a new procurement scenario that can be included in the already existing DreamMapper app. This is done to link the replacement to the performance of the products and stimulate a longer product life. Furthermore, a recycling and future reverse logistic scenario has been created. The silicone of the mask can be taken back and sold for recycling. The user can sent the products through the normal mail with the help of information from the app. The headgear can be recycled through the municipal textile recycling stream that should be widely implemented in Europe by 2025. All the proposition parts are designed with the eye on the future and technology trends. The future in CPAP supplies are custom made products, supported by digital production techniques and the 3d face scan software. This can enable super local production. From the final life cycle assessment of the different proposition parts can be concluded that these lower the kg CO2 emissions. The project results are expected to be highly feasible as already existing resources and infrastructures are used for the new proposition. The holistic
design approach and solution, including the clear steps and advantages for the 4 key ingredients have inspired the business. The next steps are…

▼ To realize the shift towards a
Circular Economy, products should stay usable as long as possible. Maintaining products is the most efficient way of retaining their desired level of performance. This is called Product care. Product care can be understood as any action that helps to prolong the lifetime of a product. The aim of this thesis is to explore how designers can stimulate users to perform product care activities. This goal has been reached through a practice-based approach and connecting it with strategies from existing literature. This took place at the University of Technology Delft. The context of Product care and the product care behavior of end-users have been researched through a diary study, a micro-emotion scan, creative sessions with
design students and literature regarding repair and maintenance. This revealed two things, there are 7 types of product care and each user has a different profile regarding their skills, motivations and barriers. This shows that analyzing which type of product care you are aiming for and defining your specific user are essential requirements. To develop
design strategies for
Design for Product care various methods were used. A brainstorm session with designers was held to develop product solutions that stimulate product care. An ideation session was held by myself and real product examples were collected that already stimulate Product care. The product solutions were used to cluster into
design strategies. The clustering process led to 8
design strategies: experiences, enabling, informing, change, reflecting, social, control and appropriation. hese can be linked to existing strategies and theories regarding
Circular, Emotion-centered and Behavioral
design. to transfer the knowledge about the
design strategies to designers a
design tool was developed. The process was iterative and the 2 biggest iterations were tested with
design students and designers. These tests showed that a few important criteria for the test were that it should teach the designer about the different types of product care, the
design strategies and they should take the type of user and product into consideration. The tool needs to provide a sense of structure, and still be flexible to fit everyone’s process. It should provide examples of how a
design strategy is implemented into a
design. The final tool is the Product Care Kit, a set of magnetic cards used for brainstorming, ideating and discussing. It presents the most important factors which influence Product care. The set consists of the following cards: persona cards, product cards, product care type cards,
design strategy cards and example cards with product solutions for each
design strategy. This tool helps to analyze and understand the context which you are designing for. It helps to create conceptual
design ideas for product care. In the future this tool should be further evaluated with designers in practice and taught to
design students.The outcomes of the tool should be validated by end-users. The tool can potentially lead to sustainable…

▼ Reverse Logistics (RL) is complex to be managed due to the uncertainty involved e.g. the quality range of products, timing of product returns, and volume of returns. A robust RL design can contribute to increase the effectiveness of RL operations. Therefore, an RL design framework needs to be formalised. Circular economy (CE) focuses on supporting the separation of treatments between technical and biological materials in maximising the design for reuse to return to the biosphere and retain value through innovations across fields. The aim of the research is to develop a new framework to design RL operations based on CE values that can increase the effectiveness and efficiency of RL operations. This research has been conducted through the qualitative research involving cases in product recovery (PR) options that are analysed in-depth. Literature review and interview are the main methods of this research. A test was conducted by interviewing expert and respondents to obtain the expert view and test the research result which is a developed framework to design RL based on CE values. The testing engaged five criteria (usability, feasibility, consistency, effectiveness, and utility). The formal RL design framework, 15 CE values, framework to design RL based on CE values specifically PR options (repair, refurbishment, remanufacturing, and cannibalisation) are main research findings. The research contributes academically to the development of a formal RL design framework and to the identification, reformulation, redefinition, and implementation of CE values. The research can be used as a basis for an effective design of RL that takes into account the economic, environmental, and social impacts. The research can be used as a guideline or an appraisal tool in designing/modifying RL based on CE values that can support the implementation of a single RL operation and also RL based on CE.

▼ In the first part of this Architectural master thesis the
Circular Economy is studied and results are Applied to the Amstel III district in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. In this study the
Circular Strategies of Europe, the Netherlands and Amsterdam are distilled into 5 main drivers. The main driver this thesis focusses on is “
Design for Disassembly” by creating new modular components with reversible connections. A new
design system that allows change in program, volume and façade elements is designed. The second part of the thesis is the adaptation of this new
design system into an architectural composition that fits the current needs of the neighborhood and allows for adaptation to a future scenario in which the urban composition of the area has changed. This architectural
design shows the potential for the re-use of materials by transforming from an office building to a mixed use, mid-rise building that houses residential units and a modern interpretation of a library including a restaurant, an exhibition space and flexible workspaces. The adaptation of this new system leads to a significant decrease in building waste, CO2 emissions and Energy consumption.

▼ The master graduation project focusses on accelerating the transition towards the circular economy. Specifically it is a design for an intervention on an existing building on the Marineterrein making it into start-up incubator in a way consistent with the thought frame of the Circular economy. The project is a exploration of the role of the architect within the proposed circular economy. In depth research is conducted into blockchain technology by a startup Circularise to explore how this technology could stimulate the transition towards a circular economy within the Built Environment industry. The design is intended to combine the whole Marineterrein into a transition campus by fulfilling the necessary program and urban function needed. The design is built up by a set of modules that is made out of elements that are all leased by a number of manufacturers. Main conclusions can be found within the emphasis on the standardized sizes and easy connections of these elements and the effect that these decisions have on the design. Other conclusions include 1) the need of the continues involvement of the architect within the project by creating policies for the use of the building by the start-ups and pro-actively stimulate the living lab function of the building and 2) the need for a ‘creative’ architect to combine the different element into ‘good’ architecture instead of just a combination of different element. The latter conclusion is incorporated in this design by finding a set of design principles to guide the design found in the history and context of the Marineterrein and the concept of the circular start-up incubator.

▼ The re-use of building components and structural elements is an underdeveloped practice which could be an important strategy in the global paradigm shift towards a
circular economy. Steel is one of the most important structural building materials which combines incredible strength, favourable mechanical properties and excellent durability characteristics. It is practically infinitely recyclable and raw materials required for the production of steel are abundantly available in the Earth’s crust. This makes steel one of the most interesting sustainable engineering materials. However, the production process requires vast energy investments and produces considerate environmental pollution. To make steel an increasingly sustainable material and a frontrunner in the global transition towards a
circular economy, significant investments and process improvements are necessary. The global environmental challenges of the 21st century demand rapid and far-reaching changes from the steel industry but it also poses opportunities for creative thinking and development of alternative strategies. The re-use of structural steel elements could offer great potential in reducing both the embodied environmental impact of construction works as well as the vast waste streams that result from demolition. There is general consensus on the technical feasibility of this
circular alternative across academic literature and the idea enjoys widespread scientific support. Actual implementation is however limited, presumably due to the existence of several multi-level barriers. A diversity of actors along the value chain have indicated that various attitudinal, financial, structural, operational, technological and legislative barriers are preventing widespread adoption. Although some of the identified issues are of a practical nature, various perceived barriers have been identified which were found to be rather subjective. It is to be expected that providing additional information on the risks and opportunities, and by quantitative demonstration of the potential benefits of re-use, several of these perceived barriers could be alleviated. This thesis aims to integrate the potential use of
circular steel elements in the structural
design process for steelworks as a sustainable alternative to the use of new steel. The developed method allows structural
design & engineering professionals to assess the environmental impact of structural steel frameworks with increasing accuracy. Furthermore, it improves the current practice by making the
design process reuse-inclusive. It thereby provides
design professionals with a tool to assess and communicate the possibilities of improving a
design with regard to their inherent sustainability. It was found that the currently prescribed ‘fast-track’ LCA method, aimed at quantifying the embodied environmental impact of building structures, is highly sensitive and the current method could be leading to large inaccuracies and spread of misinformation. Two dominant national LCIA methodologies have been extensively…

▼ A ubiquitous household appliance, the washing machine currently sees a fall in its usage life to a mere 7 years, with valuable and finite resources getting lost to the landfill faster than ever. The reason? Mechanical obsolescence and barriers in repair that make helpless users as far removed from the process as possible. The goal of my degree project is to create long lasting product and service experiences through easier channels of repair and to design deeper partnerships between humans and the appliances that surround them. I want to be part of a rising sustainability movement that aims for a seismic shift in thinking by creating resilient product experiences. Can the key to a sustainable future be appliances that last for generations?

▼ Context The “take-make-dispose” linear model has proven to be highly unsustainable during the past decades. A
circular economy has emerged as a model that is restorative by
design, and a response towards the high material and energy intensive linear model. However, a transition to a
circular built environment implies a radical change in
design and construction. Remanufacturing is one of the three product life extension strategies located in the technical cycles from the
circular economy. It is an alternative to demolition, and it allows products to be longer in use, with a constant upgrade. However, for products to be remanufactured, they have to be designed according to certain guidelines, and supported by the application of
circular business models. Kawneer, an American manufacturer of aluminium architectural systems and products, seeks to optimize façade systems to meet the demand for
circular building products. This means that the components of the systems should be designed with product properties such as disassembly, modularity, and flexibility, which allows them to be
circular. Different (re)life options, such as reuse, remanufacturing, and refurbishment, should also be taken into account from the early
design stages. The RT82HI+ window system is one of the most competent products manufactured by Kawneer. However, the only (re)life option currently available is recycling. Therefore, the product is currently unable to meet the requirements of a
circular building product. Objective The objective of the presented research is to evaluate the performance of the existing façade components of the RT82HI+ window system in a
circular economy, and according to such, redesign towards remanufacturing and other product-life extension strategies. This is done, first, through the understanding of the relationship and dependency among the product
design, development, and product-life extension, especially remanufacturing. Secondly, through an analysis of the current lifecycle scenarios of the existing components, and identification of their challenges and potentials in a
circular economy. And third, through the elaboration of three different
circular window systems that react upon the main findings from the analysis. Main Findings Three different designs are explored. The first one is an optimization of the existing RT 82 HI +, where only the critical aspects are redesigned. The second and third are hybrid variants that combine aluminum with wood polymer composite pro les (WPC). These three designs are assessed under the principles of DfD (
Design for Disassembly), DfA (
Design for Adaptability), and DfRem (
Design for Re- manufacturing). Additionally, different remanufacturing, reuse, and adaptability scenarios are analyses to understand the performance of the window system in a
circular economy. On the other hand, four main different types of façade systems and construction are reviewed to understand the type of attachment of the window to the construction. This resulted in a critical point…

▼ MYCELIUM MILLENNIUM imagines a new era in which biological resources, specifically Fungi and Mycelium, are used to grow a collection of objects for everyday domestic rituals, merging biofabrication and traditional craft. The project is an effort to demystify the transformation of an organism to a biomaterial and at the same time raise questions of aesthetics and cultural acceptance. The fungal mycelium material qualities – antibacterial, fire-resistant, heat isolating and water-resistant – are incorporated in the function of each design. The objects adopt antique symbols embedding them in a longer material history, as well as a scale and form that introduces the fungal material to the context of the home. While the collection attempts to stress longevity and resilience, it is integrated into a circular vision, where the material is sourced from nature and returns to nature. MYCELIUM MILLENNIUM is an invitation to raise awareness for a material revolution, an opportunity to learn from nature and its potential, where products and objects could match the planet's needs.

▼ O design de produtos no cenário contemporâneo adquiriu responsabilidades estratégicas para o sucesso dos negócios. O processo de desenvolvimento de produtos deve buscar interpretar estratégias corporativas para que o contexto final da solução do projeto apresente viabilidade mercadológica, produtiva, econômica e ambiental. Entretanto, as equipes de desenvolvimento de produtos possuem dificuldades para analisar o modelo de negócio onde o produto estará inserido. Nesse sentido, o objetivo dessa pesquisa foi propor um artefato que auxilie a integração da análise do modelo de negócios ao processo de desenvolvimento de produtos de forma sistematizada. Para tanto, foi realizada revisão da literatura sobre processos de desenvolvimento de produtos e modelo de negócios a fim de encontrar modelos de referência para a construção da ferramenta. O modelo de PDP proposto por Rozenfeld et al. e a ferramenta Business Model Canvas foram utilizados como base
contextual para construção do artefato. Para a continuidade do desenvolvimento foi necessário explorar a Teoria Geral da Administração em busca de ferramentas cientificamente reconhecidas, que auxiliem gestores no processo de tomada de decisão e resolução de problemas. A Gestão da Qualidade Total reúne uma gama de ferramentas com este fim, que foram reconhecidas e classificadas definindo três para utilização na construção do artefato. O diagrama de causa-efeito, árvore de decisão e matriz QFD (Quality Function Deployment) foram utilizadas facilitando o reconhecimento das peculiaridades do problema e sua estruturação. Também foi realizada revisão da literatura em publicações científicas internacionais a fim de conhecer a relação entre design de produto e modelo de negócio no cenário acadêmico recente. Esta relação foi fortemente encontrada em publicações com ênfase na economia circular, abordando temas como sistemas de produto-serviço (product service system, PSS) e servitização
(servitization). O modelo “8 Caminhos para a Sustentabilidade” foi utilizado para definir tipologias de negócios, a fim de estimular a análise do ciclo de vida de produtos. O resultado do processo de desenvolvimento foi a matriz PBMA (Product Business Model Analysis), uma ferramenta que tem como objetivo analisar a relação do produto com os demais elementos do Business Model, a fim de compreender, definir e priorizar estratégias para o desenvolvimento da solução de projeto. A matriz PBMA foi submetida a uma avaliação experimental através da simulação de necessidade de desenvolvimento de produto aplicando a ferramenta na etapa inicial do modelo de PDP. Foi possível observar que a ferramenta proporcionou contribuições relevantes para o desenvolvimento do produto, como: o conhecimento da tipologia do modelo de negócios, o nível de inovação da proposta de valor, a relevância das características do produto para cada elemento do Business Model, entre outras informações estratégicas que
contribuem para a viabilidade do produto a ser desenvolvido.

▼ Immersed tunnels, located in waterways, could be a limiting factor in the dredging in waterways. This dredging is required since cargo vessels draught increased the past decades. In this thesis a new method is defined for temporarily, effectively, re-floating immersed tunnels. With this method extra risks arise, for these risks’ measures are given. The validity of this method is proven by applying the method a relevant case study. This case tunnel is the Wijkertunnel, consisting of six elements and a total immersed length of 600 meters. It showed that the maximum deepening available is 6.60 meters. It is concluded that the impact of the risk measures is limited. Finally other immersed tunnels are compared to the Wijkertunnel. For these tunnels the different types are described, and the impact of these differences are discussed. It showed that for all the immersed tunnels the method is viable, except for immersed tunnels with a very few elements.
