Journal ArticleDOI
Challenges in metal recycling.
TL;DR: The most beneficial actions that could improve recycling rates are increased collection rates of discarded products, improved design for recycling, and the enhanced deployment of modern recycling methodology.
Journal ArticleDOI
What Do We Know About Metal Recycling Rates
Thomas E. Graedel,Julian M. Allwood,Jean-Pierre Birat,Matthias Buchert,Christian Hagelüken,Barbara K. Reck,Scott F. Sibley,Guido Sonnemann +7 more
TL;DR: The recycling of metals is widely viewed as a fruitful sustainability strategy, but little information is available on the degree to which recycling is actually taking place as discussed by the authors, which is a concern.
Journal ArticleDOI
Criticality of metals and metalloids.
Thomas E. Graedel,Thomas E. Graedel,E. M. Harper,Nedal T. Nassar,Philip Nuss,Barbara K. Reck +5 more
TL;DR: The results show that the limitations for many metals important in emerging electronics are largely those related to supply risk; those of platinum group metals, gold, and mercury, to environmental implications; and steel alloying elements as well as elements used in high-temperature alloys, to vulnerability to supply restriction.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the materials basis of modern society
TL;DR: Substantial substitution potential is studied by generating a comprehensive summary of potential substitutes for 62 different metals in all their major uses and of the performance of the substitutes in those applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Buildings as a global carbon sink
Galina Churkina,Galina Churkina,Alan Organschi,Christopher P. O. Reyer,Andrew Ruff,Kira Vinke,Zhu Liu,Barbara K. Reck,Thomas E. Graedel,Hans Joachim Schellnhuber +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the potential of mid-rise urban buildings designed with engineered timber to provide long-term storage of carbon and to avoid the carbon-intensive production of mineral-based construction materials.
