“…This form of creative writing with purpose was cathartic, and equally, the response was encouraging. As one example, my Twitter outburst led to interesting conversations with Dr Fredrik Henriksson in Sweden around 'Robin Materials', which inspired parts of his thesis (Henriksson, 2021) (Clark, 2021;Clark et al, 2020). The project's overarching aim is to eliminate food to go single-use plastics through a design-led research approach; our con tribution to the Net Zero challenge is through transitioning the food to go industry towards a circular economy of plastic packaging.…”

This book provides useful insight into how academics from diverse disciplinary backgrounds, such as science, engineering, technology, social science, policy, design, architecture, built environment, business, and management, have been conducting research into how to realise net zero emissions to address climate change.This book explores the ways in which countries around the world have pledged to achieve net zero emissions through decarbonisation processes. It presents the highest calibre research and impact activities carried out in the UK, Europe, North America, Australia, Asia, and Africa. Such activities include conceptualisation, opportunity identification, specific case studies, demonstration of proof of con cepts, provision of evidence, education of the general public, and knowledge transfer to companies. Further to this, the chapters also bring to light personal career journeys to net zero by current and future international research leaders. From this book, readers will gain a full understanding of net zero research via multiple disciplinary pathways, be inspired by personal accounts, and will learn key methodologies, including quantitative and qualitative approaches.The diversity of authors and topics make the book widely applicable to a range of fields, and it will be of great interest to researchers, students, practitioners, and decision makers working towards the goals of net zero and decarbonisation.

“…In this paper, the emphasis will be on the teaching of materials in products and specifically how decisions regarding materials in products can be made. There are multiple perspectives that can be taken on material selection [3], and is something that is taught to engineering students. But can classical methods for material selection, or even classical product development processes, cover all types of projects that engineers will face?…”

Material Driven Design, or MDD, is a new way of realizing products starting in the understanding of the material rather than the need-driven approach that can be used to describe classic product development methodology. While new, MDD has potential to encourage more sustainable products being developed and is a useful tool for new designers and engineers to learn. In this paper, the author presents some lessons learned from teaching MDD to students in design and product development at a Swedish university. These students have experience from design and product development projects but have not done material-driven projects before. In general, the author concludes that the students are remarkably well-prepared in terms of tools and knowledge to do MDD, but that course coordination can make the projects less efficient if this is not solved early on. In master thesis projects or courses with few in-process deliverables, the implementation seems easier and can give students another path to solve problems in industry.
