TL;DR: A review of the principal ecodesign methods and tools published in the literature over the last twenty years with the objective of understanding the main obstacles that limit their actual and effective implementation in industrial companies is presented in this article.

TL;DR: In this article, an innovative technology for ELT fibre's recycling, which allows to transform textile fibre into a useful secondary raw material for different applications, has been investigated, and different processes have been analyzed from an environmental point of view, applying the Life Cycle Assessment methodology.

TL;DR: This paper presents an alternative automated method for the design of custom-made cranial plates in a PHANToM®-based haptic environment, and their direct fabrication in biocompatible metal using electron beam melting (EBM) technology.

TL;DR: In this article, a Second Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) analysis has been adopted to estimate the gain in terms of environmental impact provided by reusing disposed Li-Ion cells for a second life application.

TL;DR: A new closed-loop scenario for textile fibres based on material reuse for bituminous conglomerates is proposed and validated to verify the technical, environmental, financial, and economic feasibility of the proposed treatment process and reuse scenario and shows that no specific issues are foreseen for the future implementation in real industrial applications.
