Integrated product policy: products and their impact on energy
International Journal of Law in the Built Environment, 2011PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the Ecodesign Directive and the extent to which it provides a regulatory framework for life‐cycle assessment approaches which underlie integrated product policy (IPP), thus providing a horizontal approach to product legislation as a new approach to regulating pollution.Design/methodology/approachThe ...

Energy Implications of Product Leasing
Environmental Science & Technology, 2010A growing number of advocates have argued that leasing is a "greener" form of business transactions than selling. Leasing internalizes the costs of process wastes and product disposal, placing the burden on the OEMs, who gain from reducing these costs.

Production and Utilization of Energy in Athletes
Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 1983The immediate energy source for muscular contraction is ATP, which may be regenerated from the phosphagen system, anaerobic metabolism, or aerobic metabolism. An understanding of energy production and how it relates to athletes is necessary in the construction of effective rehabilitation and training programs.

Food Production and the Energy Crisis
Science, 1973The principal raw material of modern U.S. agriculture is fossil fuel, whereas the labor input is relatively small (about 9 hours per crop acre). As agriculture is dependent upon fossil energy, crop production costs will also soar when fuel costs increase two- to fivefold. A return of 2.8 kcal of corn per 1 kcal of fuel input may then be uneconomical.

Energy productivity, denoted as economic output per energy unit, is vital for assessing energy efficiency and harmonizing economic expansion with environmental sustainability. Originating in the 1970s' energy crises, this concept emphasizes the optimization of energy value, moving away from simple consumption reduction to achieve sustainable economic ...
