... Abstract Value-added products from petroleum-based wastes (e.g., mixed plastics) have shown great potential to address sustainability challenges, such as global waste management and environmental pollution from petroleum-based products. However, recycling mixed plastic wastes (MPW) has been...

... Abstract Social impact analysis urgently needs attention in various sectors due to its critical roles in enhancing sustainability benefits. Properly assessing social impacts requires a consistent set of guidelines and requirements to reduce the practitioners’ bias. Life cycle assessment (LCA...

... Abstract As global resources deplete, there has emerged a need for designers to emphasize sustainability in engineering design. Towards this end, several researchers have presented design tools to support sustainable design; however, designers must be encouraged to adopt a sustainable design...
