In the project 'Circular Wood for the Neighborhood', carried out by the Digital Production Research Group and partners, three cases were researched, each of them including prototyping. For case study 3, a complete room divider systems was designed and prototyped by three students built environment, as …

1.2 Problem statement As previously mentioned, a fully biobased pedestrian bridge was built in 2016 in Eindhoven University of Technology, over the river Dommel. This was a 14m bridge made from hemp and flex-fibre base. The project was developed by multiple parties including CoE BBE. The initiators of …

Onderdeel van project: Born Circular. Wrijfstroken tegen betonwanden worden traditioneel in hout uitgevoerd: wrijfhout. Met tropisch hardhout kan een lange levensduur worden verkregen ten koste van de biodiversiteit in het regenwoud. Alternatief voor tropisch hardhout vormt PE: virgin en recyclaat. In …

This Whitepaper presents the essence of research into existing and emerging circular business models (CBMs). This results in the identification of seven basic types of CBM, divided into three groups that together form a classification. This Whitepaper consists of three parts. ? The first part discusses …

Design and research are two fields of knowledge that each has its traditions, methods, standards and practices. These two worlds appear to be quite separate, with researchers investigating what exists, and designers visualising what could be. This book builds a bridge between both worlds by showing how …

In this masterclass, Suzanne Klein-Gebbink, program manager of Circular Living Lab Food Valley and Lector Eric de Bruin from Aeres explain about food waste in practice: when is food wasted, why we should reduce it and how value can be created from food waste using the ladder of Lansink, which shows …

A major target of the European Green Deal is to raise the 2030 greenhouse gas emission reduction target to 55% compared to 1990. This high ambition includes an increase of the energy performance of buildings and additional generation of renewable energy in all sectors. The tertiary sector, including …

The construction sector is increasingly interested in circular and biobased material alternatives to achieve the necessary CO2 reduction. And given the fact that raw materials are running out and environmental problems are the order of the day, this is also necessary. Mycelium, the ‘underground network …
