The study represented real day-to-day\u0000 challenges and included two tasks: detecting the visibility of components\u0000 for design reviews and cable routing for assembly processes. Five experts\u0000 per task had to complete their assignment in both VR and their conventional\u0000 working tools. In the visibility task participants had to decide whether the\u0000 component of interest is visible or not in three different scenarios. For\u0000 the cable task the experts were asked to route a specific cable for\u0000 components in order to plan the amount of material that was needed in the\u0000 final assembly. They had to estimate the cable length for four different\u0000 cable routings and the outcome was compared to the optimal cable length for\u0000 each given task. In both tasks the time until a decision has been measured.\u0000 The results show that engineering processes can be supported by VR\u0000 applications, which can help saving time in visibility testing and cable\u0000 routing, as well as potentially saving resources by improving the accuracy\u0000 of calculation for an ideal cable length. There are further potential\u0000 benefits for users, as VR strains the workload less than conventional\u0000 working methods. Furthermore, the study has shown that participants who were\u0000 less experienced with VR technologies did significantly better with the VR\u0000 application compared to conventional working methods during the visibility\u0000 check.","PeriodicalId":231376,"journal":{"name":"Human Systems Engineering and Design (IHSED 2023): Future Trends\n and Applications","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125902598","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moreira da Silva","doi":"10.54941/ahfe1004147","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.54941/ahfe1004147","url":null,"abstract":"To address sustainability is to talk about empathy and exhaustible\u0000 natural resources, i.e., to adhere to attitudes in the present that can\u0000 avoid future scarcity. The more we consume, the more we produce. The more it\u0000 is produced, the greater the negative impact on nature and the frequency of\u0000 disposal, promoting damage to the soil and, consequently, to ourselves, one\u0000 of the fast fashion problems. The circular economy is based on a sustainable\u0000 attitude and the concept of the five R's: rethink, refuse, reduce, reuse and\u0000 recycle materials and energy. The objective of the circular economy is,\u0000 therefore, to promote socio-environmental responsibility actions among\u0000 people, whether individuals or legal entities, understanding that nothing\u0000 has a definitive end. Among the various R's of the circular economy, this\u0000 research project focuses on recycling, which means reusing a product so that\u0000 another object can be manufactured from it, such as the textile product. In\u0000 this sense, several sustainable actions involving the circular economy have\u0000 been taken by the regulatory bodies of the textile industry and by the\u0000 fabric manufacturers themselves. The idea is to collaborate with the\u0000 conception, structuring and execution of projects that aim to carry out\u0000 ecologically correct activities. With the worsening of the environmental\u0000 crisis and the urgent need to implement Sustainable Development, companies\u0000 have felt greater pressure to integrate sustainability into their business,\u0000 namely companies in the Textile and Clothing Industry, whose environmental\u0000 and social impact is notorious. Although the value attributed to sustainable\u0000 practices depends on the business model and vision of the companies, the\u0000 textile industry is an industry in which sustainability is of special\u0000 importance. From material selection to product disposal, the value chain has\u0000 a significant environmental and social impact, namely related to: the use of\u0000 toxic chemicals in the dyeing process; the high energy consumption and\u0000 working conditions in the confection; the high amounts of greenhouse gases\u0000 emitted in transport; in addition to the disposal of clothing in landfills\u0000 and incineration. The main objective of this ongoing research project is to\u0000 understand and to underline the importance of sustainability and the\u0000 circular economy in textile production, as perceived by young designers and\u0000 fashion students, as well as by consumers of recycled textile products. For\u0000 this, a mixed methodology composed of literature review and survey was used.\u0000 This paper presents the results achieved so far, which show awareness on the\u0000 part of the different groups that took part in the study, but also the\u0000 difficulties and challenges faced by the implementation of sustainable\u0000 measures in the practice of recycling textile products.","PeriodicalId":231376,"journal":{"name":"Human Systems Engineering and Design (IHSED 2023): Future Trends\n and Applications","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126732331","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Environmental\u0000 pollution is gaining problematic levels, and the textile industry is\u0000 considered one of the main culprits. The textile supply chain creates\u0000 different types of waste and scrap that belong not only to the semi-finished\u0000 product but also to the goods needed in the production stages (Nayak, R.\u0000 2019).The textile production process is known to consume resources, once\u0000 considered unlimited, such as 'water, which now needs to be totally\u0000 recovered and treated, fuel from fossil resources and a variety of chemicals\u0000 on a large scale. Industry estimates show that more than 35 percent of\u0000 chemicals released into the environment are the result of various textile\u0000 treatment and dyeing processes (Thiry 2011). In the Italian landscape there\u0000 are many examples of companies operating in the textile sector, where we\u0000 find the closed cycle of production wastewater.The urgency of transitioning\u0000 to circular and sustainable models has led governments to dwell on the role\u0000 of textile companies with regard to sustainability, noting that they do not\u0000 seem to be reforming at a pace and scale that would considerably combat\u0000 environmental and climate change. The question that arises concerns the\u0000 emergence of a number of new regulatory proposals and how they will impact\u0000 within textile companies. Although most of the newer proposals are still a\u0000 long way from becoming law, some regulations require textile companies to\u0000 review the way they produce and communicate the nature of their products,\u0000 involving EU manufacturers, importers, and retailers in the round.As part of\u0000 the Circular Economy Action Plan, in March 2022, the EU published the\u0000 \"Sustainable Textiles Strategy 2030,\" which focuses on circularity of\u0000 textiles and making brands responsible for waste sent to landfills (Digital\u0000 Agenda Eu. 2022) and aims to make textiles more durable, repairable,\u0000 reusable and recyclable. It also pledges to combat fast fashion and unsold\u0000 textiles and ensure that they are produced with respect for social\u0000 rights.The European Commission has made its regulatory proposals official,\u0000 including the proposed Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation, or\u0000 Espr, which establishes a framework for improving product circularity.Thus,\u0000 the role of design becomes critical for a more rational use of resources in\u0000 the development of new products (Thorpe, 2007; Fletcher & Grose, 2012;\u0000 Fletcher, 2014), which should be designed in a way that reduces waste,\u0000 scrap, pollutants, and pollution, reaching the zero-waste goal. The\u0000 treatment of this issue poses two different studies from the outset because\u0000 the complexities between waste and waste generation in pre-consumption and\u0000 post-consumption are different.If it is true that rules and standards are\u0000 the lever of transformation the designer will have to come up with a new\u0000 design process in compliance with","PeriodicalId":231376,"journal":{"name":"Human Systems Engineering and Design (IHSED 2023): Future Trends\n and Applications","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132747183","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
