Knowledge Base Repository

In addition to research papers, the Design Society is developing several valuable resources for those interested in the study of design. These include a repository of PhD theses, a library of case studies and transcripts of design activities, and an archive of our newsletters. Please note that these resources are accessible exclusively to Design Society members.

Abstract:
The paper assesses the social impacts of composting and anaerobic digestion facilities for household biowaste in France. Using the Social Life Cycle Assessment (SLCA), it identifies 16 indicators that compare workers’ conditions, community impacts, and societal benefits. This work proposes a framework for incorporating social dimensions into a multi-criteria assessment of anaerobic digestion and composting facilities in Europe, with a particular focus on France.
