“…Project-based learning (PBL) is an active methodology in which students learn through the development of a project, preferably in a group [22,31,32]. The students collaborate on an assignment that has a certain relation with their future professional context, and they do it working on both specific and professional competences [22,33,34].…”

“…This collaborative learning constitutes the social nature of this type of learning [9,27]. Its use has a double objective-on the one hand it improves the development of competencies on the student's side, and on the other hand it seeks a better motivation and commitment to the course of the students [22,33,35,39].…”

“…Only five documents were obtained. Of these documents, four corresponded to conference papers [33,[41][42][43], and just one is an article [10]. Thus, the analysis and description of project-based learning initiatives in the field of the circular economy is a challenge for the scientific community.…”

Application of Circular Economy Techniques for Design and Development of Products through Collaborative Project-Based Learning for Industrial Engineer Teaching

Collaborative project-based learning aims to get students to take responsibility for their knowledge processes. The objective of this research is to analyze the viability of applying circular economy techniques for the design and development of products, through learning based on collaborative projects in industrial engineering. A survey was carried out between 2015 and 2019 on final year students of industrial engineering in Spain, from five different academic years. The responses obtained were analyzed statistically. The results indicate that the students who had more previous knowledge about the circular economy, valued its relevance for the design and development of products as well as for the practice of the profession more. In addition, it was demonstrated that the implementation of circular economy strategies in the design and development of products through collaborative projects allows the acquisition of different knowledge: eco-design, product planning and distribution, reuse, recycling, etc. Moreover, most of the students considered that the circular economy should be a complementary discipline and a transversal competence.

“…Rethink (R1) strategy at the main product level focuses on rethinking product design to render it more sustainable. Rethinking product design innovation can involve the use of waste [ 66 ], sharing economy and the internet of things concept to enable CE [ 140 ]. Reduce (R2) strategy reflects the circular preference to reduce raw material consumption during production through innovative plastic packaging design [ 210 ].…”

The current dominating production and consumption model is based on the linear economy (LE) model, within which raw materials are extracted-processed-consumed-discarded. A circular economy (CE) constitutes a regenerative systemic approach to economic development which views waste as a valuable resource to be reprocessed back into the economy. In order to understand the circular strategy for a systemic change from an LE to a CE as a means of resolving the issue of plastic waste, this research aims to map current circular strategy trends across the system perspective contained in the literature relating to plastic CE literature. The novelty of the research lies in the mapping and review of the distribution of comprehensive circular strategies within the 9R framework across the entire system perspective (e.g. micro-meso-macro) down to its sub-levels in the literature on a plastic CE. The bibliographic mapping and systematic literature review iindicateed that the majority of the research focused on recycle (R8), followed by refuse (R0), reuse (R3), and reduce (R2). Certain circular strategies are more appropriate to handling certain plastic materials, despite CE's favoring of prevention and recycling over incineration. Recover (R9) is often used to process mixed and contaminated plastic. Recycling (R8) is the most popular circular strategy and the most applicable to plastic material with three recycle trends, namely; mechanical recycling, chemical recycling and DRAM (Distributed-Recycling-and-Additive-Manufacturing). Prolonging the product life through refurbishing (R5) is not applicable to plastic due to its material limitations. Reduce (R2) popularity as circular strategy reflects the preference to reduce consumption, either by launching campaigns to prevent waste or increasing production efficiency. Research on Rethink (R1) has largely focused on rethinking product design, consumer and organization behavior and perceptions of CE. Refuse (R0) strategy is an adoption of bio-based plastics which have a similar function to fossil-based plastics.

Based on the principles of circular design, this paper aims to present the development process of PLAegg, a biodegradable, compostable, and recyclable composite produced from eggshells and polylactic acid. The material was developed within the scope of the We Won't Waste You project, a partnership between Design Studio of the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto and Matosinhos City Council, which through Oficina Design intends to reuse waste to develop new materials and products. Several experiments were performed varying the formulations and material processability. The Material Driven Design method was used as the validation procedure. The material developed was applied to a new product, a lamp named LEXI lamp. There was a concern about creating simple, functional, easy to produce, and maintain standard electrical components. Packaging, manual, and an estimate of the production costs of the final product were also developed.
