*UNMAKING WASTE 2018: *

*Transforming Design, Production and Consumption for a Circular
Economy *

Hosted by the China Australia Centre for Sustainable Urban
Development, University
of South Australia, Adelaide, September 20-23, 2018

[Conference website will be live from November 30, 2017]

*CALL FOR PAPERS*

Over the last two decades, much effort has gone into developing strategies
to reduce waste and emissions in products, systems and the urban
environment. Accelerating rates of consumption and discard, however,
continue to undermine many of these larger efforts. It is clear that we
need new systems-based approaches to reduce rising levels of resource
consumption and energy use in order to implement a more equitable and
environmentally sustainable society and economy. Building upon the
experience of our first conference, *Unmaking Waste: Transforming
Production and Consumption in Time and Place* (May 2015), *Unmaking Waste
2018* will address the following themes from a similarly multidisciplinary
perspective:

*1. Eco-Design and Development:*

Designing and managing objects, buildings, precincts and systems to reduce
resource and energy use, and increase environmental and human wellbeing.

*2. Sustainable Consumption:*

Transforming consumption and service provision, including marketing, to
better suit a resource-constrained, environmentally challenged world.

3. *Waste Minimization:*

Reducing waste and pollution at all scales, in all domains and activities,
and transforming waste and pollution into states of greater value for reuse.

4. *Circular Economy:*

Optimizing social, material and economic relations to further the goals of
the Circular Economy, including product and environment life-extension,
reuse and repair.

*Call for Abstracts (Deadline: December 15, 2017)*

Abstracts should be no more than 300 words, and address the purpose,
methods, and implications of the work to be presented. They should include
a proposed title, and nominate one or more of the above themes that seem
most relevant to the subject. All abstracts, conference presentations and
full papers must be in English. Abstracts must be received no later than
5pm, December 15, 2017. All abstracts will be peer-reviewed and all
submissions will receive a written response with feedback from the
Conference Organising Committee by February 2nd, 2018. The authors of
successful abstracts will then be invited to submit their full papers for
review by May 4th, 2018.

Full papers will be double-blind peer reviewed, and returned to their
authors for revision before June 8th, 2018. Papers that are accepted, or
accepted pending revision, will have until July 30th 2018, for completion.
The full accepted, corrected papers will be published online in time for
the conference. It is anticipated that a selection of these papers will be
published in an edited book or special issue of a journal. More details on
this will be available on the conference website when they come to hand.

*Please send titles, abstracts, with nominated theme(s) and a separate
short author bio in a word file to **Robert.Crocker at unisa.edu.au*
<Robert.Crocker at unisa.edu.au>* no later than December 15th, 2017.*
