Summary - Circular economy course by Technical University of DelftVikas Pandey
Summary of the below 7 episodes from the course
(https://online-learning.tudelft.nl/courses/circular-economy-design-and-technology/)
Episode 1: What is the circular economy?
How can the circular economy provide solutions to the challenges our current, linear economy brings? We explore the roots of the circular economy together with experts in the fields of industrial ecology, cradle to cradle and biomimicry.
Episode 2: Business value in a circular economy
Through closed-loop supply chains and reversed logistics, new opportunities for business are created. This episode explores value creation and new business models in a circular economy.
Episode 3: Longer lasting products
The smaller the loop, the greater the profitability of the system. We look at product life extension through the eyes of designers and entrepreneurs.
Episode 4: Remanufacturing
Remanufacturing enables companies to recapture value on a product or component level. It is currently being rediscovered as a promising business opportunity. We'll explore the topic together with researchers and entrepreneurs.
Episode 5: Waste equals Food
This episode discusses how we can take inspiration from nature when redesigning the way we deal with waste. We'll present a fascinating circular case study. Can you identify opportunities for change in your own area's?
Episode 6: Thinking in systems
The shift from linear to circular should not be underestimated. This episode will discuss the extent and duration of the transition. It will also ask, is the circular economy really sustainable?
Episode 7: Giving back. Takeaways and narratives.
A.T. Kearney 2017 State of Logistics Report: Accelerating into UncertaintyKearney
2017 could be a pivotal year for logistics. Demand patterns are shifting, technological advances are altering industry economics, and new competitors are challenging old business models. This year could bring significant moves that reshape individual sectors and even the industry as a whole. Major business combinations, large-scale shifts in distribution flows, deep capacity cuts, massive infrastructure investments–anything is possible. Here are the ten key takeaways from the 2017 State of Logistics report, as well as the four potential scenarios for the future of logistics.

2017 could be a pivotal year for logistics. Demand patterns are shifting, technological advances are altering industry economics, and new competitors are challenging old business models. This year could bring significant moves that reshape individual sectors and even the industry as a whole. Major business combinations, large-scale shifts in distribution flows, deep capacity cuts, massive infrastructure investments–anything is possible. Here are the ten key takeaways from the 2017 State of Logistics report, as well as the four potential scenarios for the future of logistics.
Enlightened businesses are seeking to future-proof themselves over the long term by aiming to decouple business growth from increasing environmental and social damage, eliminate negative impacts, or even generate restorative/net-positive impacts. Others are going even further, innovating entirely new resilient ways of working, and exploiting the opportunities in global trade around solutions that tackle pollution, congestion, resource scarcity and other international challenges.
The purpose of this report is to highlight actions that large firms have taken to transform their business models towards sustainability.
Climate change and the depletion of natural resources have made it inopinently urgent to move away from the traditional linear economy models used to date.
For some years now, companies have been experiencing increasing pressure from markets, investors and employees themselves to adapt their business models to those inherent in the circular economy: a way of doing business that aims to keep resources in use as long as possible in production cycles and whose products and materials are recovered and regenerated at the end of their life cycle.
Such a challenge requires every organization to reinvent itself and face significant risks.
However, it is equally clear that such transformations are capable of unlocking great opportunities in terms of new market segments that demand ever-growing quantities of sustainable products and services.
Approaching high uncertainty contexts such as the one described, with traditional ways, severely limits the chances of harvesting all the available value, as well as not breaking the dangerous spiral we find ourselves in.
In this talk we will understand how Agile can be an effective catalyst for such transformations.
We will explore how Business Agility approaches and tools can support any company in all strategic, governance and operational phases of that transformative journey.

Circular Economies Case Studies - Softmatter VenturesAishah Avdiu
One of the most impactful ways to deploy capital is to direct investment toward disruptive technologies which reduce waste. In this white paper, we explore case study startups in waste-to-energy, consumer software, and bio-fabrication industries and their potential to continue the path toward total sustainability.
Softmatter Venture Capital, 2018

Over the next few decades the number of people living in cities will nearly double. Yet even today many cities lack sufficient clean drinking water, electricity and other basic resources essentially needed to support the exploding populations and stable strengthen economy.
These problems are created by rampant urbanization and are amongst the most important challenges of our times. These problems represent greatest responsibilities for the emerging business models by positioning them to shape the sustainable economic landscape of the future.
Across the world addressing resource scarcity involves either government action or private-sector action and either increasing the resource base or managing the demand by reducing and reutilizing. A vast opportunity exists for the private sector to provide products and services that make the most efficient use of available resources.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Organizations must mature across
four fundamental dimensions in order to successfully pivot to circularity:
Ecosystem
Collaborating and partnering with public-
and private-sector actors to create an
enabling environment for collective
transformation.
Rethinking the design, lifecycle and end-
of-use of a product or service to
optimize usage, eliminate waste and
close product loops.
Embedding circular principles into the fabric of an
organization through redefined working practices,
policies and procedures.
Addressing the value lost through the
operations and by-products of business
processes across energy, emissions, water
and waste.
Operations Products & services
Culture & organization
