  1. Introduction to the Principles & Potential ofIntelligent Materials Pooling Cradle to Cradle Design & Intelligent Materials Pooling in Practice June 6, 2005 Menlo Park, California Prof. Dr. Michael Braungart

  2. Intelligent Materials Pooling A System of Nutrient Management for the Biological & Technical Metabolisms

  3. Intelligent Materials Pooling Collaborative approach involving multiple companies willing to pool purchasing power in order to entirely eliminate hazardous material flows common to a number of companies in the industrial metabolism.

  4. Intelligent Materials PoolingNation-Building Analogy

  5. Intelligent Materials PoolingPhase 1 Creating Strength: • Identify partners • Identify substances to eliminate

  6. Intelligent Materials PoolingPhase 2 Using Strength: Develop a common list of preferred intelligent materials (i.e. positve purchasing and procurement list) • may include eco-effective polymers and additives, alloys, building materials, etc.

  7. Intelligent Materials PoolingPhase 3 Define Flows: • Define use periods for products and services • IMP uses high quality materials, becoming a virtual ‘materials bank’

  8. IMP Material Flows

  9. Glass Pooling • Automotive windshield glass • PVC membrane between two layers of glass • 12% of Automotive shredder residue in U.S. • 30% recycled in Europe • Bottles and Containers • 14% soda, 9% lime, 3.7% magnesia, 0.3% alumina • 26.3% recycled in U.S. • Halogen bulbs • 24.5% alumina, 10.5% magnesia, 0.5% soda

  10. Steel Pooling • Uses • Automotive, Construction, Appliances, etc. • Additives: • Chromium, Nickel, Molybdenum, Niobium, Copper, Bismuth, Antimony, Manganese, Vanadium, Tungsten, Cobalt

  11. Polyester / PET Pooling • Electrical applications (fiber optics) • Auto parts • Packaging (bottles, bags, etc.) • Fibers & textiles • Films (windows, etc.)

  12. Polyester / PET Pooling • Most polyester catalyzed with antimony contains an average of 150-200 mg/kg. • The Öko-Tex Standard 100 threshold value for antimony is 10 mg/kg (i.e. 10 ppm). • The sportswear industry is increasingly using recycled (i.e. downcycled) post-consumer fibers • PET plastic soda bottles for fleece textiles. • Is it designed to wear against your skin?!

  13. IMP Advantages • Generates community culture across companies offering new ways of doing business • Leverages collaboration across industries and companies • Information sharing • Cost sharing • Takes advantage of best materials, not just cheapest • Moves competitive focus to design value, not material cheapness

  14. Material ConneXion Where professionals - architects, engineers, industrial and interior designers, manufacturers - access specifications and manufacturers’ contacts for the latest, most innovative materials and processes from around the world through their on-line database or physical library. www.materialconnexion.com

  15. NASA’s Smart Materials & Structures • Seeks to apply multi-functional capabilities to existing and new materials and structures • Smart materials and structures are those which can sense external stimuli, via internal sensing and/or actuation, and respond with active control to that stimuli in real or near-real time • Current activities in the field range from the design, fabrication, and test of fully integrated structural systems to enabling research in individual discipline areas http://www.nttc.edu/techmart/technology.asp?technology_id=10, http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2001/ast01mar_1.htm, http://www.darpa.mil/dso/thrust/matdev/smartmat/objective.html
