Yet, how effective are these strategies in terms of their environmental impacts? To find out, we took a deep dive into 30 CE policies from cities in high-income countries across Europe, the Americas, and Oceania. We assessed the relevance of their indicator sets with regards to their major environmental concerns. To do so, we conducted a qualitative analysis of policy documents published in eight languages, examining common environmental goals, concerns, and progress indicators of various cities. The review reveals a broad spectrum of municipal CE policies, from waste management to climate action. Key concerns include climate mitigation and securing local resource availability, but overall, very diverse environmental targets could be identified. Some of these targets aim at local impacts such as air quality and public health, while others envision global impacts such as biodiversity conservation and intergenerational justice. While greenhouse gas emissions of territorial scope are frequently monitored, the indicator sets mostly ignore that climate mitigation involves a footprint scope. Moreover, the sets mostly lack indicators to monitor other environmental pressures and impacts. To better monitor these, we provide a set of recommendations for research and policy to bridge the gap between environmental concerns and indicator needs. We suggest complementing current resource flow dominated indicator sets with measures of the local environmental state and the application of urban footprint models to help cities monitor the desired global environmental impact of their measures.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48619,"journal":{"name":"Sustainable Production and Consumption","volume":"50 ","pages":"Pages 431-444"},"PeriodicalIF":10.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352550924002367/pdfft?md5=9b623059d44948f3f8e1baa44fd81e50&pid=1-s2.0-S2352550924002367-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142058262","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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}

Five policy options were initially formulated based on different combinations of voluntary and regulatory approaches, PV module EoL pathways, i.e. recycling, landfill and incineration, and types of EoL PV modules. Then, the environmental impacts of each option were evaluated using life cycle assessment based on seven relevant impact categories. Later, the economic implication of each policy option was determined based on revenue gained from recovered materials and cost of recycling. Results showed that recycling yields net environmental benefits in all impact categories for crystalline silicon (c-Si) modules and almost all impact categories for cadmium telluride (CdTe) modules. While both regulatory and voluntary approaches offer reduced environmental impacts, the former is more beneficial than the latter as it provides higher quantity of recycled EoL PV modules, net environmental benefit, net primary energy avoidance and net economic benefit. Also, the inclusion of both c-Si and CdTe in recycling is preferred as it yields higher quantity of recycled PV modules as well as higher net environmental benefit and net primary energy avoidance gained in most impact categories. However, the net economic benefit is lower than recycling c-Si alone because the cost of recycling CdTe modules is higher than the revenue gained from recovered materials.

Tonsor","doi":"10.1016/j.spc.2024.08.011","DOIUrl":"10.1016/j.spc.2024.08.011","url":null,"abstract":"<div><p>Cattle are ruminant livestock that emit enteric methane (CH₄) as part of their natural digestive process. The U.S. beef cattle industry is receiving pressure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, including methane. The U.S. Roundtable for Sustainable Beef has set a target for the U.S. feedlot sector to reduce emissions by 10 % per pound of beef by 2030. Feed additive 3-Nitrooxypropanol (3-NOP) has been developed to help mitigate methane emissions. While not yet approved for use in U.S. beef production, adoption of 3-NOP in U.S. feedlots upon approval remains unknown as no widespread economic incentive currently exists in the marketplace to spur adoption. The objectives of this study are: (1) to determine potential 3-NOP adoption by U.S. feedlot cattle producers given various marketplace incentives and (2) to explore how differing approaches to reducing emissions from beef production to achieve sector targets impact social welfare. Our study uses data from a U.S. feedlot producer survey to estimate willingness-to-adopt (WTA) measures. Regression results are used to map potential adoption of 3-NOP given various market and policy scenarios. The survey sample is then split into small producers (&lt;2000 head sold in last 12 months) and large producers (2000+ head sold in last 12 months) to determine differences in WTA based on operation size. We find that producers prefer incentives in the form of processor premiums over government subsidies. The incentive level needed to spur adoption increases as the implementation cost of 3-NOP increases and decreases if net profit estimations are included in the messaging. On average, small producers require a higher incentive to adopt 3-NOP than large producers. Improving the emissions reduction efficacy of 3-NOP reduces the level of incentive needed to achieve aggregate emissions targets. The least expensive avenue to achieve emissions reduction targets results in greater outlays to large producers as compared to small producers. The marginal cost to society of feeding 3-NOP to an additional steer or heifer in the feedlot increases with each animal. As such, it may be that improving the efficacy of 3-NOP through increased investment in research and development is less costly than spurring more producers to adopt the additive in their feed rations. Ultimately, producers, processors, beef consumers, voting residents, taxpayers, and policymakers all have influence in shaping how the beef industry tackles the emissions reduction conundrum.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48619,"journal":{"name":"Sustainable Production and Consumption","volume":"50 ","pages":"Pages 364-375"},"PeriodicalIF":10.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352550924002379/pdfft?md5=1bf7813f41e62c5f43fe8a03c43ba457&pid=1-s2.0-S2352550924002379-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141998134","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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}

This study aims to assess the environmental impacts of this innovative technology at a commercial scale through a comprehensive life cycle assessment (LCA) study. Experimental data from a pilot-plant facility was scaled up to a production capacity of 20,000 tons of LA per year using SuperPro Designer®. This data was combined with information from upstream processes such as milk production, cheese production, and transport, using OpenLCA. The cradle-to-gate LCA revealed that milk production had the greatest overall impact across all categories. Enteric fermentation has the most significant impact on climate change, while fertilizer and concentrate feed production primarily contributed to non-renewable energy demand, ozone formation, human toxicity, water consumption and fossil depletion. Fertilizer application substantially influenced eutrophication, acidification and ecotoxicity indicators. However, scenario analysis showed that implementing strategies like substituting biorefinery byproducts with fossil-based products, increasing renewable energy penetration, and integrating dairy beef production could result in significant environmental savings across all impact categories. Moreover, the findings highlighted that the handling of co-products would determine the magnitude of the system's impact. This study concludes that combining process design analysis with accessible data at a higher Technology readiness level (TRL) 7 offers an opportunity to identify hotspots and recommend alternative strategies to improve the environmental sustainability of the whole system at the design stage. Additionally, this study provides valuable guidance for minimizing environmental impacts during the design phase, enabling informed investment decisions before construction.

Continually increasing the stock of EOL LIB having different LIB variants necessitates the development of efficient circular economy (CE) strategies (recycling and repurposing) to recover raw materials contained in them. Focusing on different CE strategies, we develop a system dynamics model to address the complexity of the raw material recovery process by analyzing the interrelationship between collection rate (government), EOL LIB variant mix (consumer preference), and EOL LIB allocation to recycling and repurposing (Battery OEMs). Our analysis reveals that a high EOL collection rate and recycling reduces the raw material (Lithium (Li), Nickel (Ni), and Cobalt (Co)) demand by 2%–17% based on LIB variant proportion in EOL LIB stock. We observe thrice higher Co recovery and 1.5 times higher Ni recovery in material-rich battery chemistries as compared to others. Repurposing delays the raw material recovery but reduces LIB’s demand for SESs. In addition, we observe that the repurposed EOL LIB supply increases the recyclable EOL LIB supply by 0.027–0.2 million units at the end of 2030. Hence, it is imperative for emerging economic countries like India, with scarce strategic raw materials sources and increasing demand for LIB from mobility and SES sectors, to frame policies that incentivize the collection and EOL handling process infrastructure and prioritize between recycling and repurposing of EOL LIBs.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48619,"journal":{"name":"Sustainable Production and Consumption","volume":"50 ","pages":"Pages 191-204"},"PeriodicalIF":10.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352550924002197/pdfft?md5=9e3624653c931082c8a4e1a3fd4ba75a&pid=1-s2.0-S2352550924002197-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141932288","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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}
