This paper explores how barriers and risks are perceived by different actors involved in Northvolt's establishment in Skellefteå, Sweden, through the Multi-Level Perspective (MLP) and risk perspective. The study employs a qualitative research design and utilizes document analysis and semi-structured interviews to collect data. The findings contribute to the existing risk framework by introduci

This study aims to investigate the ecological sustainability of different beverage packaging and compare this to consumers’ perception of the most environmentally friendly packaging type. A literature analysis was made to understand the advantages and disadvantages of different packaging as well as consumer behavior from other surveys in other studies. Lastly this study conducted and preformed its

To meet climate objectives our society needs to be more resource efficient, and a circular economy is part of the solution. Maintaining and repairing products to prolong their lifetime is usually better than replacing the product. In Sweden there are existing economic policies such as value added tax and tax reductions that incentivize the consumer towards prolonging the life of their products, bu

Due to the growing e-commerce volumes, product returns have become an increasingly important issue within the fashion industry. About 70 % of all returns are caused by poor fit or size. Therefore, there is a need to improve fit and size information online to decrease the rate of returns. In recent years, there has been an increased interest for implementing AI solutions to improve consumer informa

The main drivers of the alarming biodiversity decline are land use and land use change, primarily due to agriculture. It is therefore important to assess the impact on biodiversity caused by production of food and to do so, life cycle assessment (LCA) is a method widely used. Since the UNEP-SETAC provisionally recommended the method by Chaudhary et al. (2015, updated 2018) for impact assessments o

In Sweden, the food and agricultural sector is highly concentrated, especially in the food refinement and retail sectors, with a few major actors holding significant market power. This concentration poses challenges for smaller agri-food companies in Skåne, Sweden. This thesis aims to in depth exploring the challenges smaller agri-food companies face today. The thesis employs a case study approach

The Greenhouse Gas Reduction Mandate (GGRM, reduktionsplikten) is Swedish legislation focused on reducing carbon emissions by mandating that the emissions of certain fuels are reduced by a specified percentage, that percentage increasing each year. This paper investigates the rationale behind a political drive to decrease the GGRM, the cost-effectiveness of the GGRM, and the consequences of t

The ongoing climate changes pose a serious threat to both societies and ecosystems globally. Intensification of extreme weather, floods in combination with heat waves and droughts are some of the challenges that require adaptable and sustainable solutions. Nature-based solutions (NBS) have been identified as a powerful tool for creating resilient and sustainable cities by integrating natural proce

The European union and the Convention on biological diversity require 30% of all land to be protected by 2030, stressing the necessity for increased nature conservation. To meet the requirements different forms of protection are needed. Thus, nature conservation agreements (NCA) relevant for further exploration, as they are not used in as large of an extent as other nature conservation types. Thi

Regulations regarding management of dredged sediment from the maintenance of artificial ponds and other wetlands are ambiguous. Currently in Sweden, compliance with guidelines concerning pollutants is often prioritized over the climate impact associated with the transportation during disposal of these sediments. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the applicability of current guidelines to dre

Air pollution is a major environmental and health problem globally, with traffic emissions being a significant source of many pollutants. The aim of this study is to investigate whether the levels of nitrogen dioxide (NO2), ground-level ozone (O3) and coarse particles (PM10) in air changed during the covid-19 pandemic in Sweden, and whether the change varied between urban and rural areas and depen

Forestry in Fennoscandia is currently dominated by conventional rotation forestry, but an increased interest in continuous cover forestry (CCF) methods has been observed in both Finland and Sweden. The Finnish state-owned enterprise Metsähallitus has since a couple of years used CCF in 25% of their forests, and this paper aims to identify factors that could hinder or prove disadvantageous for Svea

This study presents a systematic overview and mapping of potential metrics for evaluating the impact of forest management on biodiversity in Swedish forestry. The primary approach involves quantitative Life Cycle Impact Assessments (LCIA) as part of Life Cycle Assessments (LCA). Given the increasing need to integrate the impact on biodiversity into complex value chains, the absence of a standardis

This study focuses on PFAS-pollution, specifically the pollution situation for four objects in Svedala municipality. Per- and Polyfluorinated Chemicals (PFAS) has been used widely since the 1950s and spread because of anthropogenic activities, due to their characteristics, such as dirt-, grease, and water repellent properties in cosmetics, textiles and fire extinguishers. PFAS has shown to be pers

The start-up company LEVTEK is launching a new ultralight electric utility vehicle called the LEVKART. The Levkart uses a combination of robotics and AI-technology to offer semi-autonomous or autonomous riding and usage. The purpose of the vehicle is to serve as an alternative to cargo bikes and electric scooters designed for easy usage and as a more sustainable option to fossil-based transport. T
