Forecasting demand data for critical materials

October 9, 2024
Author(s)
Kyle Foster, Nehika Mathur
Gallium, Indium and Cobalt are critical materials that vital to ramping up the adoption of clean energy technologies such as solar photovoltaics (PVs), electric vehicles (EVs) and wind turbines (WTs). Like other critical materials, they too are prone to

Current State and Emerging Trends in Advanced Manufacturing: Part 2 - Smart Systems and Future Challenges

September 3, 2024
Author(s)
Kamyar Raoufi, Karl Haapala, John Sutherland, Fu Zhao, Andres Clarens, Jeremy Rickli, Zhaoyan Fan, Haihong Huang, Yue Wang, WoJae Lee, Nehika Mathur, Matthew Triebe, Sai Srinivas Desabathina
Advanced manufacturing is challenging engineering perceptions of how to innovate and compete. The need for manufacturers to rapidly respond to changing requirements and demands; obtain, store, and interpret large volumes of data and information; and

Towards Sustainable Electronics: Exploring IC Reuse for Circular Economy Transformation

August 22, 2024
Author(s)
Nowell Stoddard, Lisa Paterson, Mark Schaffer, Tom Etheridge, Nehika Mathur, KC Morris, Lise Laurin, Amos Ncube
This perspective paper addresses the importance of responsible end of life (EOL) management of integrated circuits (ICs or chips), with a particular focus on the possibility of IC reuse as an avenue to address the high impacts of chip manufacturing and the

Investigating the use of network analysis metrics to benchmark Industrial Symbiosis development

July 5, 2024
Author(s)
Abheek Chatterjee, Oren Minsk, Buddhika Hapuwatte, Matthew Triebe, Daniel Kietzer, Sushma Kittali-Weidner, KC Morris, Nehika Mathur
Circular economy (CE) aims to reduce natural resource consumption, waste generation, and related detrimental environmental, social, and economic impacts by keeping valuable materials circulating in the economy. Industrial Symbiosis (IS) contributes to CE

Decarbonizing the Economy: Circularizing Solar Photovoltaics

May 2, 2024
Author(s)
Nehika Mathur
Solar photovoltaics (PVs) are the fastest growing clean energy technology. As the first generation of solar PVs reach the end of their functional lives, it is becoming clear that unless strategies to manage discarded panels are implemented, we could be

Standards as Enablers for a Circular Economy

June 30, 2023
Author(s)
KC Morris, Vincenzo Ferrero, Buddhika Hapuwatte, Noah Last, Nehika Mathur
A successful transition to a circular economy (CE) will require global participation, but the path to that transition will follow many unique routes depending on local situations. The transition must have rigorous technical underpinnings and well-conceived

Optimizing Product Life Cycle Systems for Manufacturing in a Circular Economy

April 26, 2023
Author(s)
Buddhika Hapuwatte, Nehika Mathur, Noah Last, Vincenzo Ferrero, Maya Reslan, KC Morris
Global population growth and increasing resource scarcity are necessitating sustainable manufacturing and circular economy (CE) practices. These practices require the decisions made at each product life cycle (PLC) stage consider sustainability and
