“…They deliberately focus on 'CE' as a dimension of evaluation, instead of also including environmental, economic, and social impacts; an example is product-level circularity [13]. Other studies, such as [52] or [44] combine CE-dimensions with impacts on the three sustainability domains; essentially, they hereby interpret CE as a resource-efficiency based means to achieve SD. These approaches can perhaps also be said to be more in line with the characteristic of 'consequential' circularity [12].…”

A Critical Review of Academic Approaches, Methods and Tools to Assess Circular Economy at the Micro Level

Transitioning from the current linear economic development model to a circular economy (CE) is a hot topic in academic literature, public governance, and the corporate domain. Actors have implemented CE strategies to reduce their resource use and its associated impacts, while boosting economic competitiveness and generating positive social impact. Companies are identified as key actors in transitioning to a CE, and many academics have proposed tools to assess CE and guide them in this process. This paper critically reviews such academic ‘assessment approaches’ at the micro level in order to reflect on their key properties. Seventy-four approaches are inventoried through a systematic literature review of academic literature. A critical review framework is constructed and applied, containing four perspectives: A general perspective, a descriptive perspective (methodological aspects), a normative perspective (connections to Sustainable Development), and a prescriptive perspective (implementation-focused). Methodologically, the 74 approaches are highly diverse, having various connections to previously established methodologies. Eighteen of the reviewed assessment approaches include all three dimensions of Sustainable Development (SD), in addition to a ‘circular’ dimension. Roughly one quarter of the approaches apply a participatory design approach. Suggested key desired properties of CE assessment approaches include making use of existing assessment methodologies such as Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), and a closer collaboration between science and practitioners to consider end-user needs in the design of CE assessment approaches.

“…In today's competitive world, industries are rigorously spotlighting on essential aspects such as time, quality, and cost of products to manage the immense pressure [1]. As the need for sustainable manufacturing increases [2], researchers have started to explore the various processes which can deliver the desired outcomes as compared to traditional production activities like machining or injection moulding, while taking care of environmental perspectives [3,4]. However, the three-dimensional (3D) printing methods are often explicit with their specific feedstock materials as compared to conventional Table 1.…”

An effort is made in this work to appraise the surface characteristics of machined expandable polystyrene (EPS) with a novel 3D printed thermoplastic acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) tool. Linear grooves on EPS were made on a vertical milling machine that was modified to conduct experiments in the laboratory. The tests were designed as per the Taguchi L9 based factorial design of experimentation while varying process parameters such as depth of cut, spindle speed, and feed rate. The machining responses dimensional accuracy and surface roughness of the machined grooves were studied. Furthermore, the surface topography of the machined specimens was considered to investigate the mechanism of material removal in response to the processing conditions. Moreover, mathematical models developed for the prediction of the output responses showed a significant correlation with the experimental results. The results of the statistical study indicate that the surface roughness is influenced by the spindle speed and dimensional accuracy by the depth-of-cut. Overall, the findings of the experimental work advocated the feasibility of 3D printed thermoplastic tools for machining soft polymeric materials. It can become a useful alternative for mass and batch production.
