A growing group of manufacturing companies are exploring circularity and they are early in the transition process. We see mainly internal leverages, such as building up top-down & bottom-up interactions based on common values, defining feasible actions, building up trust and motivation to take ...

What does it cost to avoid an environmental impact of products? The eco-cost method makes it possible to calculate this eco-impact. Although this solution may seem too simple and its use entails quite some challenges, it does have an important value. We’ll explain what it is and give some examples.

The CE Connect learning network actually provided us with the golden key to get started on circular projects. We have written about all kinds of pitfalls before, now we are approaching the subject from a solution-oriented angle. Below you will find a selection of success factors: some are sure to ...

We have found how executive management can speed up the transition to a circular economy. The good news is that it does not require heavy investment in time or resources. The clue is to postpone your decision on investments for circular initiatives. It might be contra-intuitive, but this small ...

Fairwind, a Belgian company that designs and manufactures vertical axis wind turbines, has in its offering the 50 kW-Polar-Version-Wind Turbine, which is entirely in line with the Paris Agreement objective to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels taking place in Antarctica. To verify the proper ...

Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) is used to determine the mechanical properties of viscoelastic materials by subjecting them to cyclic loading as a function of temperature, time and frequency.

Recent research and testing have shown that bio-based coating formulations can outperform traditional fossil-based polymer coatings. As such, the coating lifetime can be extended or the coating can eventually perform better under high-loading conditions. The availability of thermo-analytical testing ...
