Comparing Circular Kitchens: A Study of the Dutch Housing Sector
Buildings, 2023 The built environment can become more sustainable by gradually replacing building components with circular ones. Kitchens are a logical component to be made circular, given their relatively short lifespan, product-based nature, and affordable prototypes.

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

Novel Biobased Textile Fiber from Colombian Agro-Industrial Waste Fiber
Molecules, 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.
