Given the uncertain environmental, health, and safety risks for using carbon nanotubes (CNTs), it is prudent to assess the environmental attributes of nanomanufacturing processes using CNTs while in the developmental phase. This information can provide insights for development of safe, economically competitive, and environmentally responsible nanotechnologies. Environmental assessments of manufacturing...
The implementation of energy scavenging technologies in distributed, self-sufficient micro systems offers new approaches to the realization of long-time power supplies within reasonable system dimensions. In this article various technical solutions to supply a low-power micro system with basic functions and fixed energy requirements are examined from an environmental point of view. Based on the material...
Understanding the total life cycle CO2 impacts of different types of products and operations has been a subject of significant interest recently. Total life cycle impacts include not just the CO2 generated from the manufacture of a product, but also from the product's use and from the manufacture of all the inputs that go into creating the product. In theory, understanding this total impact can help...
Many commercial print applications - book publishing, newspaper and magazine production, paper-based marketing material and numerous others - are characterized by high levels of over-production and waste. Printed matter is manufactured and distributed to end users, retailers and warehouses, where a proportion is unwanted or loses its value before being sold. Subsequently, obsolete printed material...
A dasiagreen scorecardpsila to identify research projects in the digital printing industry is described. The scorecard is intended to be cognizant of life cycle issues without being onerous to use, allows comparison of green dasiagoodnesspsila among scenarios, provides guidelines for use, and reduces subjectivity by requiring quantified input data. The green scorecard is neither a design tool, nor...
