“…In this context, it is important to link metal use with sustainable production and consumption cycles (Legarth, 1996), and to use revenues in ways that deliver long-term benefits to communities and the nation. The prospect of a peak in key minerals gives additional impetus to this task.…”

“…According to Legarth (1996), without an intensified focus on recycling, we cannot hope to fulfil even the most modest ambitions for sustainability in the use of metal primary resources in the future. Furthermore, high energy savings are associated to aluminium scrap/swarf recycling as it requires not more than 5% of the energy needed for primary aluminium production (Verran and Kurzawa, 2008).…”

a b s t r a c tThe purpose of this work was to recover a standard AlSi12Cu1 alloy from machining chips inside the foundry plant, by using an environmentally friend technique to produce cast ingots with characteristics similar to those of the commercially available 2nd melt raw material.The recyclability of aluminium swarf using different melting techniques and the influence of chips preparation in the aluminium alloy recovery rate and dross production was experimentally studied and evaluated.It is shown that the recycling efficiency depends on the swarf conditioning for melting, the melting technique and the metal treatment methodology. Chips moisture reduction, induction melting under protective atmosphere and a specially developed degassing technique were found the most important factors influencing the recycling process. By using the developed technique, cast ingots with microstructure, sanity and chemical composition similar to commercially available AlSi12Cu1 2nd melt raw material were successfully obtained with minimum dross formation and metal recovery rates around 90%, without using traditional salts and fluxes.

“…In summary, layer‐one interdisciplinarity may yield innovative approaches to recovery processes and material development that can make sustainable operations viable. Innovation is necessary to support CS by means of CLSCM as ‘[t]echnological development in the recycling industry is a cornerstone in making the recycling industry an equal partner for the manufacturing industry’ (Legarth, , p. 103).…”

Transdisciplinary Research in Sustainable Operations – An Application to Closed‐Loop Supply Chains

This contribution provides implications for academic research and practitioners, as it identifies the lack, necessity and major benefits of transdisciplinary research and the collaboration of academics and industry in order to fulfill the goals of a sustainable supply chain. Closed‐loop supply chain management is a major contributor to implementing sustainable operations. An essential prerequisite for successful realization is the expertise and cooperation of representatives from engineering, management and natural sciences as well as practice. We identify a need for transdisciplinary collaboration within two steps. First, a literature review points out that various research disciplines as well as practice mostly operate in isolation. Second, we develop a framework that highlights the benefits of collaboration between these research areas. This paper provides an overview to better understand current trends in this complex field, which is a rich area for research that is still in its infancy.
