Abstract
In this dissertation, I investigate how to design products for a circular economy using composite materials. The circular economy is a potential solution to achieving a sustainable use of resources. Reuse of products and recycling materials lowers pressure on resource stocks, saves energy, and reduces the accumulation of waste. This requires a new approach to product design. Products have to be designed for long life, reuse and recycling. Composite materials partly meet these requirements; they offer the potential for efficient material use and have a long product lifespan. However, there are still challenges considering their reuse and recycling....
