Research Material Flow Patterns of the Global Waste Paper Trade and Potential Impacts of China’s Import Ban Waste paper, an essential substitute for wood and other plant-based fibers in paper making, is an indispensable part of the circular economy; yet, the impacts of China’s ban on global waste paper cycles have not been well understood
Research Material metabolism and carbon emission reduction strategies of passenger cars in China’s mainland China is the world’s largest motor vehicle manufacturer and consumer.The resource consumption and greenhouse gas emissions brought by the vehicles have attracted widespread attention from scholars
Research Multidimensional Analyses Reveal Unequal Resource, Economic, and Environmental Gains and Losses among the Global Aluminum Trade Leaders Disputes around trade inequality have been growing over the last 2 decades, with different countries claiming inequality in different terms including monetary deficits, resource appropriation and degradation, and environmental emission transfer.
Research High spatial resolution mapping of steel resources accumulated above ground in mainland China: Past trends and future prospects High-resolution mapping of steel resources accumulated above ground (referred to as steel stocks) is critical for exploring urban mining and circular economy opportunities.
Research Scenario analysis of energy consumption and carbon emissions in Chinese aluminum life cycle and emissions reduction measures. Exploring the energy conservation and emission reduction pathways of aluminum industry with high energy consumption and emissions intensity will help China to meet the greenhouse gas emission reduction commitment under the Paris Agreement.
Research Urban mining assessment of copper, iron, and aluminum in Fujian Province Urban ores refer to the recyclable secondary resource, its stock is significant to mitigate resource pressure and promote circular economy.
Research Material dependence of cities and implications for regional sustainability Copper is a critical metal of strategic importance. China has long imported two types of copper scrap, namely “category-6 copper scrap” and “category-7 copper scrap”, as materials for producing recycled copper.
