Deconstructing the clothing design process for a circular economy

, 2021
The transition from linear to circular fashion system(s) requires substantial changes at the level of legislation, infrastructure, technology, education, business and consumption. This exploratory study zooms into the business level, specifically into sustainable-minded clothing companies and their design practices.

Deconstructing Design: A Strategy for Defending Science [PDF]

Cold Spring Harbor Symposia on Quantitative Biology, 2009
Despite its legal and scientific failings, the "intelligent design" (ID) movement has been a public relations success story in the United States. By first creating doubts about the adequacy of evolution to account for the complexity of life, the ID movement has invoked the values of "fairness" and "openness" to argue for inclusion in the classroom and ...

Evaluation of the benefits of design for deconstruction adoption for sustainable construction in the Nigerian construction industry

Journal of Building Design and Environment
The predominance of a linear economic model and the limited integration of circular strategies in the design and execution of building projects—particularly in the construction sectors of developing countries—have resulted in ongoing pressure on natural ...

Analyzing Joinery for Furniture Designed for Disassembly

Journal of Manufacturing and Materials Processing
End-users can design personalized furnishing products using remote web-based CAD systems. However, if these designs fail to incorporate design for disassembly (DfD) principles, the furniture’s subsequent repair, reconfiguration, recycling, and disposal ...

True Closed‐Loop Recyclable Hydrogels Enabled by Imine Boronic Ester Crosslinking

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Subtle molecular differences in imine boronic ester crosslinkers profoundly influence hydrogel properties. 2‐formylphenylboronic acid crosslinkers form previously undisclosed 3‐amino‐benzoxaborole heterocycles, enhancing elasticity despite lower crosslinking density compared to their 4‐formylphenylboronic acid counterparts.

Electrolyte Design for Fast‐Charging Lithium‐Based Batteries

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A decade of progress in fast‐charging electrolytes for lithium batteries is reviewed. Electrolyte design strategies spanning solvents, salts, additives, and advanced systems, such as localized high‐concentration electrolytes (LHCEs), are summarized. Advanced diagnostic tools for lithium plating and interphase chemistry are discussed, with perspectives ...
