Application of the integrated ecodesign method using the GHG emission as a single indicator and its GHG recyclability

Identifying the Equilibrium Point between Sustainability Goals and Circular Economy Practices in an Industry 4.0 Manufacturing Context Using Eco-Design

“…In order to take into account the socio-economic value of environmental damage in the tile manufacturing and industrial costs phases, the LCA analysis was supported by Life Cycle Costing (LCC) in order to predict the environmental and socio-economic sustainability of the different design scenarios (Lee et al 2016). Like the LCA, the LCC also follows an international standard: ISO 15686.…”

Sustainability and recyclability of composite materials for railway turnout systems

“…The goal in this study is to assess the environmental impacts associated with a typical railway turnout system. Kiani et al (2008) and Lee et al (2016) are examples of scholars who have laid emphasis on the calculations of GHG emissions from cradle to grave for railway infrastructures. Moreover, Kaewunruen and Lian (2019) conducted an analysis of life cycle for a railway turnout based on establishing Six-Dimensional building information modelling.…”

A through-life evaluation of end-of-life rolling stocks considering asset recycling, energy recovering, and financial benefit

“…Waste recovering process aims at the utilization of waste thermal energy (Haddad et al, 2014). It can be found on widely manufacturing processes, i.e., agriculture (El Hanandeh, 2015;Lee et al, 2016;Purdy et al, 2018), cattle (Venier and Yabar, 2017), textile (Nunes and et al, 2018). The recovery concept has become a significant role in many countries due to it illustrated benefits profoundly and lead to sustainable development.…”
