Blurred boundaries: E-scooter riders' and pedestrians' experiences of sharing space

Hebe Gibson et al.

Summary: This study examines the experiences of e-scooter riders and pedestrians sharing space in Christchurch, New Zealand, revealing uneven and unfamiliar socio-spatial encounters between them. The research highlights the importance of understanding the boundaries between e-scooter riders and pedestrians to plan transport spaces that support active and low-carbon modes of transport.

Development of simplified characterization factors for the assessment of expanded polystyrene and tire wear microplastic emissions applied in a food container life cycle assessment

Elena Corella-Puertas et al.

Summary: Life cycle assessments currently do not have a methodology to assess the impacts of plastic litter on the environment. This study proposes a simplified method to model the impacts of microplastics in the marine environment and reveals the need for developing more specific factors for different types of plastics.

Evaluation of e-scooters as transit last-mile solution

Natalia Zuniga-Garcia et al.

Summary: This research examines the interaction between e-scooters and bus transit services, providing insight into e-scooter demand patterns and user characteristics. The study includes a causal analysis of the relationship between e-scooter and transit trips using survey data and publicly available datasets. The findings suggest a small but statistically significant relationship between the two modes, with some e-scooter users utilizing transit for additional travel.

Introducing environmental decision-making criteria to foster Green Public Procurement in Peru

Karen Biberos-Bendezu et al.

Summary: The article discusses the importance of implementing Green Public Procurement in public procurement in Global South countries, using Peru as a case study to analyze the environmental hotspots of two commonly acquired products. Through a Life Cycle Assessment, key stages of the product life cycle were identified and solutions were proposed to reduce environmental impact.

Analysis of attitudes and engagement of shared e-scooter users

Andreas Nikiforiadis et al.

Summary: The study on e-scooters in Thessaloniki, Greece, found that e-scooters mainly replaced walking and public transport trips. Females and residents living in city centers were less keen on using e-scooters compared to males and those living in longer distances.

Attributional & Consequential Life Cycle Assessment: Definitions, Conceptual Characteristics and Modelling Restrictions

Thomas Schaubroeck et al.

Summary: Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a common method to assess the potential environmental impact of human/industrial systems, with attributional (ALCA) and consequential (CLCA) being two prominent types. This article aims to argue for and select definitions for each concept, specify their characteristics, and go beyond current findings. ALCA attributes environmental impact to a product life cycle, while CLCA assesses the consequences of decisions, with different modelling restrictions and evaluation approaches for each type.
