Understanding the role of such strategies at the municipal level requires a localized approach. Here we evaluate a ramp-up of resource efficiency strategies and their associated effects on car use and climate benefits toward 2050 for 19 individual subregions within the Greater Oslo region in Norway. In our scenarios, material stocks increase from 356 megatonnes (Mt) in 2022 to 361–381 Mt in 2050 driven by population growth, with low-end estimate relying on a sufficiency (SUF) scenario limiting floor area per capita and banning new single-family houses. The SUF scenario reduces total material consumption until 2050 (50.5 Mt) with 28% relative to a business-as-usual (BAU) scenario (70.8 Mt) with continuation of ongoing trends, thereby reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from material production by 21% (BAU: 11.8 MtCO2-eq, SUF: 9.4 MtCO2-eq). If resource efficiency strategies are combined with material production decarbonization in-line with a 2°C scenario, a 35% reduction in emissions is achievable (7.7 MtCO2-eq). Car ownership rates and traveled distance per capita decrease in the SUF scenario compared to 2022 with 11%. Assuming the current relationship between settlement characteristics and transport demand, total driving distance fails to decline due to population growth. Limiting the floor-area per capita in residential buildings significantly decreases material demand. Resource efficiency strategies including densification need to be complemented with a rapid decarbonization of material supply and stronger incentives to move away from car driving to maximize climate change mitigation.

However, empirical evidence is inconclusive and often subject to high uncertainties. Here, we explore long-term trends in the lifetimes of large household appliances using dynamic material flow analysis. We investigate the sales and ownership of these products since their introduction in Norwegian households and use this co-evolution to estimate the lifetimes. By combining two model types with uncertainty analysis, we show that a significant lifetime decrease was likely experienced only by washing machines (–45%) and ovens (–39%) around the 1990s–2000s. This finding challenges the narratives about planned obsolescence despite their prevalence decreasing consumer incentives for longer product use and repair. We suggest multiple technical, economic, and social factors that could be responsible for the decrease, for example, a reduction in relative prices of appliances or changes in habits surrounding laundry and kitchen use. Our results suggest that factors affecting product lifetimes are not uniform but context-dependent, which has implications for lifetime extension policy. The presented method could help monitor the long-term effectiveness of such a policy.

However, the journey from idea to market is highly uncertain and involves intensive trial and error as technology developers attempt to optimize material choices and product configurations. Designs evolve quickly, and assessing their risks and impacts while numerous factors remain undetermined is challenging. The standard practice is to evaluate a limited subset of scenarios that can guide design choices. However, selecting scenarios from hundreds of undetermined factors without a systematic sensitivity screening may leave out important improvement opportunities. To provide well-informed guidance, the evaluated scenarios should be selected based on factors that are most influential to the safety and sustainability impacts of the technology. We propose an approach that accomplishes this by incorporating a wide spectrum of undetermined factors, both intrinsic and extrinsic to the technology design. The assessment models are then screened for highly-sensitive factors using global sensitivity analysis. Strategies to reduce uncertainty on highly influential factors are proposed for subsequent iterations, and the residual factors for which uncertainty cannot be further reduced yet remain influential are selected as a basis for proposed “sensitive scenarios” and improvement roadmaps. We demonstrate the framework with an emerging photovoltaics case study. Over a hundred uncertain factors are reduced to less than five which, if optimized, would substantially improve the future safety and sustainability performance of the technology as well as reduce the uncertainty around it.","PeriodicalId":16050,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Industrial Ecology","volume":"29 1","pages":"47-65"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jiec.13609","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143466191","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, few studies have examined the associated characteristic of individual REEs and their differences in supply–demand relationships, which has led to previous misjudgments of critical REEs. Therefore, in this paper, the criticality of 15 REEs was reassessed using a modified three-dimensional criticality evaluation system. The results show that the global supply risk and vulnerability to supply restriction (VSR) of praseodymium, neodymium, and dysprosium involved in electronic device and new energy equipment manufacturing are high, while neodymium is also with the highest VSR in China and the United States. The differentiated management of specific REEs, such as recycling and application development, is a more effective means of regulating the supply–demand balance than the total mining control policy that is currently in use. These findings could support countries in the advance planning of targeted management policies for critical REEs to guarantee the safe supply of REE resources and the achievement of sustainable development goals.","PeriodicalId":16050,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Industrial Ecology","volume":"29 1","pages":"344-357"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143466195","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We consider realistic constraints such as recycling opportunities, resource and mineral supplies, waste treatment capabilities, and climate goals for PV development. To do this, we model the entire life cycle of PV modules and take into account the waste and greenhouse gases generated during their production. We used the established model to estimate China's future photovoltaic deployment strategy and determine the optimal trajectory for related resource utilization. Our analysis results show that given the long-term PV development target of 2000 GW toward 2070, it is predicted that the total number of scrapped photovoltaics will reach 900 GW in 2060–2070. By then, the copper, zinc, and aluminum metals that can be recycled can each reach about 2 million tonnes. In addition, we also found that recycling can greatly reduce the environmental pollution caused by end-of-life photovoltaics, and analyzed the negative impact of different recycling strategies on the environment. Finally, we put forward several suggestions for reducing environmental pollution through the resource recycling process.","PeriodicalId":16050,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Industrial Ecology","volume":"29 1","pages":"330-343"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143466194","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lithium (Li) demand is expected to increase 10-fold by 2050 globally, raising concerns over the sustainability of future supply. As one of the world's largest producers and consumers of LIBs, China's role is pivotal in addressing resource constraints, enhancing circularity, and enabling global climate commitments. This paper uses a dynamic material flow analysis model to trace Li flows and stocks in China's LIBs system, taking 2021 as the base year and designing scenarios to 2050 to assess the potential role of circular economy (CE) strategies in addressing primary lithium constraints. While previous studies have concentrated on electric vehicle (EVs) LIBs, this research provides more comprehensive coverage of Li chemicals and products, assesses future Li demand considering saturation curves across different applications/groups, and provides a broader overview of policy interventions to align with CE strategies. Results illustrate that Li cumulative demand in China's LIBs sector is expected to reach 6.65 Mt from 2022 to 2050 under the business-as-usual (BAU) scenario. In parallel, there is a significant potential for addressing primary Li constraints through different combinations of circularity strategies, with a reduction of 60%–100% by 2050 compared to the BAU. The contribution of recycled Li is highly dependent on the strategies adopted to optimize end-of-life (EOL) LIBs management and battery chemistry innovation. Policies to address this are discussed including waste regulatory instruments, new remanufacturing business models, and continuous support to research and development activities to help close the loop of lithium and ease Li constraints.","PeriodicalId":16050,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Industrial Ecology","volume":"29 1","pages":"358-374"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jiec.13607","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143466193","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Material flow analysis (MFA) is an established tool examining reliance on natural resources and related environmental pressure. The analysis presented in this paper advances a nation's MFA—from overall economy to final consumption. It considers some acknowledged gaps in the MFA literature including: (a) The need to relate nations' use of materials with consequent environmental impacts; (b) The need to analyze nations' domestic and overseas material sources and waste sinks; (c) The need to allocate the “economy wide” scale materials used and generated waste to the final consumption categories of households. Though applicable globally, the study concentrates on Israel. It revealed that the Israeli economy's annual total material consumption is approximately 2.5 billion tons from both domestic extractions and physical import. This flow of materials results in 937 million tons of domestic (domestic process output) and overseas (imported process output) wastes. Eight-six percent of the materials and 94% of the wastes of the studied economy material flows are found to be related to households' demand for electricity, transportation, food, and consumables. The suggested framework can support environmental decision-makers in developing strategies to reduce environmental impacts.","PeriodicalId":16050,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Industrial Ecology","volume":"29 1","pages":"298-310"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143466192","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
