Pappas, K. (author), Mackie, L. (author), Zilakos, I. (author), van der Weijde, A.H. (author), Angeloudis, A. (author)Tides exhibit variability over time. This study proposes a methodology for selecting a representative timeframe for tidal range energy analyses, when constrained to a typical, short-term, lunar month-long period. We explore how the selection of particular timeframes skews findings of energy assessments, especially for cross-comparisons across...article 2023

Delahaye, R. (author), Tunn, V.S.C. (author), Tukker, A. (author)Effective monitoring of national circular economy policies requires consistent, national databases of material flows and environmental impacts. Yet, databases and indicators developed so far are scattered and inconsistent. To tackle this problem, Statistics Netherlands (CBS) developed a material flow monitor (MFM) that integrates existing...article 2023

(author)Governments contribute to the transition toward a circular economy (CE) by using criteria in their procurement processes that trigger the supply of circular products and services, namely circular public procurement (CPP). CPP practices are emerging in Europe. However, the effect of CPP is not yet monitored and hence remains unclear. What is the...article 2022

Rum, I.A. (author), Tukker, A. (author), de Koning, A. (author), Yusuf, A.A. (author)Under the Renewable Energy Directive (RED) II, the EU will phase out the use of palm oil for biodiesel feedstock. Environmental concerns are the main reasons for the EU to implement this initiative. This study analyzes the economic and environmental impact of EU import ban to Indonesia at provincial level, using 2 scenarios (a direct and direct...article 2022

Steubing, B. (author), de Koning, A. (author), Merciai, S. (author), Tukker, A. (author)Life cycle assessment (LCA) and environmentally extended input output analysis(EEIOA) are two widely used approaches to assess the environmental impacts of products and services with the aim of providing decision support. Here, we compare carbon footprint (CF) results for products and services in the ecoinvent 3.4 cut-off and the hybrid version...article 2022

Circular business models (CBMs) and their potential environmental benefits have been widely assessed by using life cycle assessment (LCA). However, most LCA studies consider static systems and assume instant and full technology adoption, limiting the analysis of the implications of circular transitions. Considering technology diffusion in LCA...article 2020
