Electrode materials efficiency and stability are two indispensable bottlenecks in solar-driven water splitting which impedes its large-scale productions.
While low hanging fruit measures (for example, improving energy and material efficiency and stakeholder relations) are being taken to reduce costs, and more sustainable products and services are being launched, the regulatory framework does not provide the necessary incentives to make the major strides needed to further improve social and environmental performance.
This technique yields potential in decreasing material consumption due to its high material efficiency and freedom of shape.
This is the goal of material efficiency, and this paper aims to stimulate interest in the area.
This article presents an economic perspective of material efficiency, and discusses the role of public policy in providing market incentives for a more efficient use of materials.
ANSYS was used to parametrically analyze the material efficiency and to obtain optimal solutions for the thickness of the GFRP, wood, and bamboo layers.
The paper presents the results of application of various policy instruments for increasing packaging material efficiency and recovery rate and reducing landfilled fraction.
In this context and within the project "Material Efficiency and Resource Conservation", the natural resource use of 22 technologies, products and strategies was calculated and their resource efficiency potential analysed.
This paper presents and discusses direct and indirect transmission channels for price shocks, and firms' response measures: absorbing cost shocks into profits, inter-fuel substitution, increasing energy and material efficiency, and passing on price increases.
Although the main focus has been on the construction technology, waste minimisation, energy and material efficiency and thermal performance of modular construction, limited attention has been paid to the building occupants.
