    Literature Review on the Repair, Resale and Reuse Market

    My Sustainable Canada (a national not-for-profit focused on sustainable consumption) along with One Earth Initiative and its academic partners Dr. Paulette Padanyi (University of Guelph) and Dr/ Wesley Schultz (California State University), are undertaking the research project: “Identifying Gaps in Consumer Protection in the Repair, Resale and Reuse Market in Canada”.

    This research study will identify and investigate gaps in consumer protection policies and practices in the repair, resale and reuse market in Canada and provide recommendations on interventions that will enhance consumer confidence in the purchase of second hand or re-conditioned products. The research will identify what consumer protection policies and practices are in place within the repair, resale and reuse market, and identify the gaps in consumer protection among the varied product categories that comprise the repair, resale and reuse market.

    We are currently doing a literature review on studies that characterise the second-hand market in Canada. We are interested in connecting with any academics/researchers, that might be doing research on the second-hand market.

    Research Fellowships in Innovation for Sustainability

    The Center for Contemporary History and Policy at the Chemical Heritage Foundation invites applications for one-year research fellowships at the post-doctoral or advanced graduate student level to create and cultivate projects in the area of innovation for sustainability. We anticipate hiring 2-3 individuals for these positions.

    Drawing on core competencies and programmatic areas in environmental history and policy and studies of materials innovation, CCHP is developing projects that sit at the intersection of sustainability and innovation, both broadly construed. We especially encourage project proposals that cut across institutional sectors and research objects. The following are examples of topics that might be explored:

    • Materials Innovation
    • Energy (policy, regulation)
    • Role of government regulation
    • Green manufacturing
    • Life-Cycle assessments
    • Alternatives development
    • Green Chemistry

    Projects conducted by fellows in residence will contribute to the programmatic and outreach initiatives of CCHP. These materials are intended to reach audiences outside of academe, and in the past have included: white papers, online exhibits, public symposia, and contributions to our oral history collection.
    Fellows will work with CCHP staff while in residence to determine the most appropriate project outcomes as part of our efforts to mentor and train junior scholars to reach new and diverse audiences.

    In addition to research related to the proposed project, approximately a third of the fellow’s time will be in support of ongoing activities and projects in CCHP.

    Salary for post-doctoral researchers will be $45,000; graduate students will receive $25,000.

    Applications from women, minorities, and those with disabilities are particularly welcomed and encouraged.

    Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the positions are filled. For full consideration, applications should be received by June 1, 2011. Application materials should include a cover letter, statement of research interests and proposed project (not to exceed two pages), curriculum vitae, and the names, addresses and phone numbers of three references. Materials can be sent as e-mail attachments (pdf-preferred) to Jody Roberts, Associate Director, Center for Contemporary History and Policy at: cchpfellowships2011@chemheritage.org

    The Journal of Industrial Ecology invites submission of articles for a special issue on Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) by June 1, 2011. A more detailed version of this call for papers can be found at http://www.yale.edu/jie/CFPs/cfp-EPR.html.

    Extended producer responsibility (EPR)

    EPR, also sometimes called product take-back or product stewardship, emerged as a policy strategy in the early 1990s. In EPR, a producer’s responsibility, physical and/or financial, for a product is extended to the post-consumer stage of a product’s life cycle. EPR shifts responsibility upstream to the producer and away from municipalities and is intended to provide incentives to producers to incorporate environmental considerations in the design of their products. EPR has been applied principally to packaging, waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), end of life vehicles (ELVs), batteries and household hazardous wastes.

    The Special Issue

    Naoko Tojo, of the International Institute for Industrial Environmental Economics at Lund University, and Atalay Atasu, of the College of Management at the Georgia Institute of Technology, and Reid Lifset of the Center for Industrial Ecology at the School of Forestry & Environmental Studies at Yale University will serve as co-editors of the special issue.

    The Journal of Industrial Ecology is an international peer-reviewed bimonthly, owned by Yale University, headquartered at the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies and published by Wiley-Blackwell. Support for this special issue is provided by Nestle Waters North America.

    The special issue is intended to be relevant to diverse audiences­academics, policymakers, business people and environmental advocates­and submissions should be written with that in mind. Articles from technical specialists should make the implications of their research accessible to non-specialists. Non-academic contributors should keep in mind that the Journal of Industrial Ecology is a scholarly publication and all submissions will be expected to follow the norms, tone and practices of academic publishing. Please contact the editor with any questions about the fit of a contribution for this issue.

    Industrial Ecology

    Industrial ecology is an emerging field that addresses ways in which human production and consumption can be made more sustainable through an emphasis on analyses of the flows and uses of materials and energy. It encompasses concepts and tools such as loop-closing, life cycle assessment (LCA) and management, material flow analysis (MFA), design for environment and industrial symbiosis.

    How to Submit

    Manuscripts should be original, previously unpublished, in English, and between 3,500 and 7,000 words in length including references. Submission implies that the manuscript has not been submitted for publication elsewhere and that it will not be submitted elsewhere while the review process is underway. Papers should be submitted electronically via Manuscript Central at , indicating that they are intended for the special issue on EPR. Details about the preparation of the manuscript can be obtained from the Journal’s home page or from the editor. All submissions will be peer-reviewed in a single blind process using at least two single reviewers.

    The Darla Moore School of Business at the University of South Carolina is honored to announce the 3rd annual Dr. Alfred N. and Lynn Manos Page Prize for Sustainability Issues in Business Curricula. The Page Prize has two objectives: to encourage efforts to expose business students to state-of-the-art environmental sustainability knowledge and to demonstrate the Moore School’s commitment to promoting sustainability in business education. Each year, the school adds the new winning submissions to its database of high-quality teaching/curricular materials related to environmental sustainability, which it houses on the Moore School’s Web site and through the Moore School’s Partner Page on The Aspen Institute’s caseplace.org.

Submissions must be original and made with the full consent of all authors for free public access to the submitted materials for use in business education anywhere in the world.

    Awards
    The Grand Prize is $1,000, plus a framed print of Aegean Sea #6 certifying the award. Honorable Mention prizes will also be awarded at levels of $250 each. Each finalist will receive a print of Aegean Sea #6. The winners will be chosen by a three-member faculty committee from the University of South Carolina.
