Publications
Our research is rooted in impact. Because of this, we not only publish papers, but also have a wide range of reports, comments, letters and multimedia.
Papers
The Use Less Group publishes papers across our themes and projects. The diversity of our work is well represented, with topics ranging for example from novel metal forming processes through strategies for material reuse to mapping energy flows with an eye to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Reports
We aim to report on the results of our work in a highly readable, visually attractive way. These reports arise from specific projects, often collaborations with other academic institutions and/or industry. Straightforward and accessible, they are ideal for use by policy makers, industry and the media as well academic readers.
Our book
One of Bill Gates six top books for 2015, Sustainable Materials with Both Eyes Open by Julian Allwood, Dr Jonathan Cullen and colleagues presents an optimistic, entertaining and richly informed evaluation of the sustainable management of our growing demand for materials.
Videos
We are increasingly using video to create a living record of our work. Over time we aim to build up a library showing the full range of the exciting and innovative projects carried out by the group.
Comment, articles and letters
As well as formal publications eg papers and reports, we aim to communicate as widely as possible on topics relevant to our work, in specialist publications as well as the broader media.
