Circular economy (CE) activities are expected to deliver emission and resource benefits to the automobile industry while increasing economic competitiveness and social well-being. However, assessing the impact of these benefits has been challenging due to the variability in methodologies and assumptions used in previous studies. Considering this, we conducted a systematic review of 192 peer-reviewed

Technology assumes a pivotal role in both water conservation and pollution reduction. This study deconstructs technology into three categories: source water-saving technology (SST), process control technology (PCT), and end-of-pipe removal technology (ERT). Employing the extended IPAT and decomposition approach, it assesses the diverse impacts of these technologies on wastewater discharge in China

The Substance Flow Data of Chinese Phosphorus Cycle from 1949 to 2018 presents annual data of 825 P flows transferring between natural and anthropogenic processes. The data were calculated based on the mass balance principle method —— substance flow analysis, with the unit of kt P/yr. The primary data and functions are also included in the database. Measures of the uncertainty of all are shown in the

Neglecting externality cost in extended producer responsibility (EPR) fiscal planning worsens the free-ridership issue in plastic waste (PW) management. An integrated P-graph-life cycle optimization framework is developed to optimize PW management pathways based on the synergistic trade-off between the environmental and economic concerns via graphical output with cost-bearing responsibilities illustrated

High-rise residential buildings are prevalent in Chinese cities and have considerable impacts on the sustainable construction industry. Although individual case studies have assessed the embodied carbon emissions, there is still a need to explore the general characteristics and driving factors. This study established a dataset containing 403 buildings and assessed the statistics and distribution of

Rapid global urbanization, urban renewal and changes in people's lifestyles have led to both an increase in waste generation and more complex waste types. In response to these changes, many local governments have invested in municipal solid waste infrastructure (MSWI) to implement circular strategies. However, matching and bridging the costly and logistically complex MSWI with the dynamic social context

Existing work on the relative environmental impacts of laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) and traditional processes lacks generalizability as part design and machine settings change. We use literature reviews and power measurements to derive parametric environmental impact models with uncertainty for metal and polymer L-PBF process chains and traditional alternatives. Lead-time and cost models are derived

Excessive cost and inconvenient services are frequent reasons people do not use repair services for consumer goods. By using conjoint analysis we aim to quantify the relative importance of repair price and convenience attributes and determine how they affect a consumer's willingness-to-pay (WTP) for repair services. Our results suggest that the relative importance of attributes such as repair price
