[“the paper [by Mayer et al.] had very high potential for societal impact as the methods and results of the work could be directly used to develop, monitor, and support EU policies on resource efficiency and the circular economy…. [Yeow and Cheah] demonstrated the use of disaggregated commodity flow data in informing the spatial distribution of material use. The paper included …commodity flow data – as a fresh input to urban metabolism studies.”]

We are pleased to announce the winners of the seventh annual Graedel Prizes for the Journal of Industrial Ecology’s (JIE) best papers. Each year, prizes are judged in the categories of junior first author (where the lead author is under the age of 36 on the date of on‐line publication) and senior first author (for lead authors aged 36 or over). Winners receive a free membership in the International Society for Industrial Ecology and US$750, which is generously funded by the Nickel Institute, GE, A‐1 Recycling, the Raw Materials Group Stockholm, Martha Walters, and AT&T in honor of Thomas Graedel, a founder of the field of industrial ecology. The rules for the Graedel Prize and members of the adjudication committee are provided on the journal's website.11 http://jie.click/bestpaperprizes
Papers, based on the year of publication on‐line, are nominated by members of the JIE Editorial Board or the Prize Committee. They are then evaluated against the criteria of: (a) professional merit; (b) contribution; and (c) presentation quality. Previous winners of Graedel Prizes are described by Brattebø and Lifset (2015a,b, 2016, 2017) and Kennedy and Lifset (2018, 2020).

In past years, the competition for the Graedel Prize was particularly fierce in the junior first author category, but 2019 was quite different. Seven of the 10 nominated papers were in the senior first author category—and after the first round of judging, five of these were particularly close. These five, in alphabetical order, were: a "big picture" examination of infrastructure from a complex adaptive systems perspective in relation to changes to the Anthropocene (Chester, Markolf, & Allenby, 2019); a detailed, bottom‐up analysis of consumption‐induced impacts of Swiss households, employing machine learning techniques (Froemelt, Buffat, & Hellweg, 2019); an assessment of circularity in the European Union (EU) economy using economy‐wide material flow accounting integrated with waste flows, recycling, and downcycled materials (Mayer et al., 2019); a practical paper on generalized data structures for industrial ecology, including taxonomy and implementation (Pauliuk, Heeren, Hasan, & Müller, 2019); and an assessment of the potential environmental impacts of future global metal extraction, to 2050, using lifecycle‐based methodology (Van der Voet, Van Oers, Verboon, & Kuipers, 2019). Two excellent papers on the positive impacts of environmental disclosures (Hora & Subramanian, 2019) and a typology for defining boundaries for recycling by manufacturing firms (Magnusson, Andersson, & Ottosson, 2019) completed the seven nominations.

After the second round of adjudication, the winners of the 2019 Senior Best Paper were:
  • Andreas Mayer, Willi Haas, Dominik Wiedenhofer, Fridolin Krausmann, Philip Nuss, and Gian Andrea Blengini (Figure 1) for their paper “Measuring progress towards a circular economy: A monitoring framework for economy‐wide material loop closing in the EU28.” The first four authors are with the Institute of Social Ecology in the Department of Economics and Social Sciences, University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences (BOKU), Vienna, Austria; Nuss is with the German Environment Agency (UBA), at Dessau‐Roßlau, Germany; and Blengini is with the European Commission Directorate‐General Joint Research Centre Sustainable Resources Directorate, in Ispra, Italy.

The committee concluded that the paper had very high potential for societal impact as the methods and results of the work could be directly used to develop, monitor, and support EU policies on resource efficiency and the circular economy. This was evidenced by the results of the study already being used by EUROSTAT, for example, in a material flow diagram on its website. While the approach of economy‐wide material flow analysis is well established, the paper added important steps by incorporating material flows in waste and recycling, balancing inputs and outputs, including emissions and stock changes. These improvements enabled calculation of indicators for circularity at an economy‐wide level. Meanwhile, the paper did not hold back in recognizing the challenges, or flaws, in developing circular economies. The research paper was thorough and robust—and well written, with attractive graphics.

The three papers nominated for the junior first author prize were: a global input–output analysis of dietary change (Cazcarro, López‐Morales, & Duchin, 2019); a consumer‐based study of water, energy, and greenhouse gas footprints from showering (Shahmohammadi, Steinmann, King, Hendrickx, & Huijbregts, 2019); and case studies incorporating commodity flow and truck activity data into material flow analysis (Yeow & Cheah, 2019).

The Committee selected the winners of the 2019 Junior Best Paper to be:
  • Lih Wei Yeow and Lynette Cheah (Figure 2) for their publication on “Using spatially explicit commodity flow and truck activity data to map urban material flows.” Both authors are with Engineering Systems and Design at Singapore University of Technology and Design, Singapore.

Through two cases studies, the authors demonstrated the use of disaggregated commodity flow data in informing the spatial distribution of material use. The paper included good reviews of urban metabolism literature, and commodity flow data—as a fresh input to urban metabolism studies. The use of such data is not new, but the application to material flow analysis is somewhat novel and demonstrated the feasibility and value of conducting spatially explicit MFA. One of the cases—using US freight survey data—also showed how insights can emerge at multiple levels of spatial resolution. The paper was superbly researched and presented—both the writing and visual tools. The figures, in particular, were of outstanding quality. These included a map showing the net accumulation and removal of construction materials by mass for several regions of the United States; and another figure showing spatially detailed net accumulation and removal of construction‐related material in Singapore.

2019年Graedel奖的获奖者:工业生态杂志最佳论文奖

[“ [Mayer等人的论文]具有很大的社会影响潜力,因为该工作的方法和结果可直接用于制定,监测和支持欧盟关于资源效率和循环经济的政策……。[Yeow and Cheah]演示了使用分解的商品流量数据来告知材料使用的空间分布。该论文包括“商品流量数据–作为城市新陈代谢研究的新输入。”]

我们很高兴地宣布第七届年度Graedel奖的工业生态学杂志JIE)最佳论文获奖者。每年,将根据初级第一作者(在线出版之日的主要作者不满36岁)和高级第一作者(对于36岁或以上的主要作者)类别评选奖项。优胜者将获得国际工业生态学会的免费会员资格,并获得750美元的奖励,该奖项由镍协会,GE,A-1回收,斯德哥尔摩原材料集团,Martha Walters和AT&T慷慨资助,以表彰Thomas Graedel。工业生态学领域的创始人。该杂志的网站上提供了Graedel奖的规则和裁决委员会的成员。1个1 http://jie.click/bestpaperprizes
根据在线出版年份确定的论文由JIE编辑委员会或奖项委员会提名。然后根据以下标准对它们进行评估:(a)专业功绩;(b)捐款;(c)介绍质量。Graedel奖品的先前获奖者是由Brattebø和Lifset(描述2015Ab20162017年)和Kennedy和Lifset(20182020)。

在过去的几年中,初中第一作者类别的Graedel奖竞争特别激烈,但2019年则大不相同。在10篇提名论文中,有7篇属于第一作者类别,在第一轮评审后,其中有5篇特别接近。这五个字母顺序是:从人类世代变化的复杂适应性系统角度对基础设施进行``大图''检查(Chester,Markolf和Allenby,2019年); 使用机器学习技术对瑞士家庭的消费诱发影响进行详细的,自下而上的分析(Froemelt,Buffat和Hellweg,2019年); 使用整个经济范围内的物料流核算与废物流,回收和降级物料的整合来评估欧盟(EU)经济中的循环性(Mayer et al。,2019); 关于工业生态学的通用数据结构的实用论文,包括分类法和实施(Pauliuk,Heeren,Hasan和Müller,2019年); 并使用基于生命周期的方法评估了到2050年未来全球金属开采的潜在环境影响(Van der Voet,Van Oers,Verboon和Kuipers,2019年)。关于环境披露的积极影响的两篇优秀论文(Hora和Subramanian,2019年)和定义制造公司回收利用界限的类型学(Magnusson,Andersson和Ottosson,2019年)完成了七个提名。

经过第二轮裁决后,2019年最佳高级论文的获奖者是:
  • Andreas Mayer,Willi Haas,Dominik Wiedenhofer,Fridolin Krausmann,Philip Nuss和Gian Andrea Blengini(图1)的论文“衡量向循环经济的进展:欧盟28国范围内整个经济物质循环关闭的监控框架。” 前四位作者在奥地利维也纳自然资源与生命科学大学(BOKU)经济与社会科学系社会生态研究所工作;Nuss在德国德绍罗斯劳的德国环境署(UBA)工作;Blengini是位于意大利伊斯普拉(Ispra)的欧洲委员会总干事联合研究中心可持续资源局的成员。

该委员会的结论是,该文件具有很大的社会影响潜力,因为该工作的方法和结果可直接用于制定,监测和支持欧盟关于资源效率和循环经济的政策。例如,EUROSTAT已在其网站上的物料流程图中使用了这项研究的结果,这证明了这一点。尽管经济范围内的物料流分析方法已经很成熟,但本文通过将物料流纳入废物和回收利用,平衡投入和产出(包括排放和库存变化)来增加了重要步骤。这些改进使得可以在整个经济范围内计算出循环性指标。同时,该论文并没有阻碍人们认识到发展中的循环经济所面临的挑战或缺陷。

提名初中一等奖的三篇论文是:饮食变化的全球投入-产出分析(Cazcarro,López-Morales和Duchin,2019年);一项基于消费者的研究,研究了淋浴带来的水,能源和温室气体足迹(Shahmohammadi,Steinmann,King,Hendrickx和Huijbregts,2019年); 以及将商品流量和卡车活动数据纳入物料流量分析的案例研究(Yeow&Cheah,2019)。

委员会选择2019年度最佳少年论文的获奖者为:
  • Lih Wei Yeow和Lynette Cheah(图2)发表了有关“使用空间明确的商品流量和卡车活动数据来绘制城市物质流量的图”的出版物。两位作者都在新加坡新加坡科技设计大学工程系统与设计专业。

通过两个案例研究,作者证明了使用分解的商品流数据来告知物质使用的空间分布。该论文包括对城市新陈代谢文献和商品流量数据的良好评论,作为对城市新陈代谢研究的新投入。此类数据的使用并不是什么新鲜事物,但是在物料流分析中的应用有些新颖,并且证明了进行空间显式MFA的可行性和价值。其中一个案例(使用美国货运调查数据)还显示了如何在多个空间分辨率级别上产生见解。论文经过了出色的研究和展示,包括写作和视觉工具。这些数字尤其具有出色的质量。其中包括一张地图,显示了美国几个地区按质量计算的建筑材料净累积和去除量;另一幅图显示了新加坡详细的空间净积累和建筑相关材料的清除情况。
