DESIGNING CIRCULARITY The circular economy for landscape and territory

open access: yes, 2021
A farm, a biomedical company and a building materials company, an area with a high landscape val- ue, some agricultural and food waste to be optimised, a team of researchers and a class of design and architecture students. These are the ingredients of the Designing Circularity experience.

Designing products and services for circular consumption - A circular design tool [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Most circular design tools focus on how to design durable products that are fit for circular (re-)production flows, or how to design circular business models. The crucial role users play for a transition to a circular economy is often overlooked in existing tools, as is design opportunities to enable and support circular consumption.

The design and synthesis of circular RNAs

open access: yesMethods, 2021
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a novel class of RNAs distinguished by their single-stranded, covalently-closed topology. Although initially perceived as rare byproducts of aberrant splicing, circRNAs are now recognized as ubiquitously expressed and functionally significant. These discoveries have led to a growing need for ways to model circRNAs in living

Design as a Catalyst for the Circular Economy

open access: yes, 2023
Design for circularity requires new methodologies that differ from the traditional design approach. This chapter pivots around a discussion of how the guiding design principles that are general to the practice of green engineering, eco-design, and cradle-to-cradle fuel the transition to a circular economy.

Use and Design of Chatbots for the Circular Economy

open access: yesSensors, 2023
The fact that advanced technologies and their economic applications have generated increasing resource costs justifies the transition from a linear approach to a circular one in order to control these costs. From this perspective, this study presents how artificial intelligence can help achieve this goal. Therefore, at the beginning of this article, we

Novel Biobased Textile Fiber from Colombian Agro-Industrial Waste Fiber

open access: yesMolecules, 2018
Fique fibers, native to Colombia, are traditionally used for ropes and bags. In the extraction of long fibers for these purposes, the same amount of short fibers is generated; the short fibers are then discarded in the soil or in landfills.
