Abstract Senescent cells (SnCs) are increasingly recognized as key contributors to osteoarthritis, with conventional strategies centered on their elimination. However, senolytic approaches face mounting limitations, driv...

Aims: Arthroplasty generates the most waste among the sub-specialties of orthopaedic surgery. Infectious waste generates ten times more CO2 than recycled waste, and over 90% of it is misallocated. This multicentre study ...

This study examines the early effects of Iceland's 2023 extended producer responsibility (EPR) reform for packaging waste, one of the first nationwide implementations of a fully harmonised, producer-funded system in a sm...

The global shift towards sustainability has driven significant advancements in construction methodologies. Among these innovations, 3D Concrete Printing (3DCP) stands out as a transformative technology that employs gantr...

Thermoset and fiber-reinforced composites (FRCs) are widely adopted for their exceptional mechanical strength, thermal resistance, and chemical stability that have demonstrated versatile applications across aerospace, au...

The asphalt industry faces growing challenges from stringent greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction mandates and diminishing high-quality virgin material reserves. This review paper positions upcycling as the engineered transfor...

Nowadays, there is a growing concern about the damage caused by waste in the environment, which implies the generation of new processes and habits to contribute to a circular economy. This work explores a new alternative...

This study investigates a novel combination of materials, incorporating pantyhose and rice husk, to develop sustainable insulation panel candidates, an approach that has not been previously explored in the literature. Pa...

With the continuous innovation in household appliance technology and the improvement of living standards, the production of discarded household appliances has rapidly increased, making their recycling increasingly signif...

This article presents a statistical analysis of the relationship between the development of the circular economy and climate change in Ukraine during the period 2010–2024. The circular economy, as an alternative model ...

Abstract The accelerating consumption of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) has led to rapid growth in waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), which is currently the fastest-growing waste stream worldwid...

The spinning industries negatively impact the environment by generating substantial process waste. Unlike previous studies that primarily focus on recycling textile waste, this study explores a sustainable practice by in...

Abstract Accumulation of plastic waste presents a global environmental crisis, posing severe threats to ecosystems. Depolymerization offers a promising route for closed-loop recycling of plastic waste. Nevertheless, depo...

Fruit waste is an extensive problem, especially in areas where perishable fruits possess a short shelf life, resulting in considerable waste. A method of recycling fruit waste involves using it as a soil amendment, which...

Waste material, including glass, presents significant environmental challenges due to its non-biodegradable nature and low global recycling rates. Incorporating waste glass into concrete offers a sustainable solution, bu...

This study examines the dynamic relationships between the circular economy, innovation and sustainability in the European Union over the period 2014-2023, using a VAR model to analyze the interactions between municipal...

The advancement of global endeavors to mitigate climate change is largely influenced by developments within China’s transportation sector. This study focuses on the crucial role of biodiesel as a biofuel in China’s t...

Abstract The plastic pollution crisis urges innovative recycling solutions. Promising approaches especially for polyester-containing wastes include enzymatic hydrolysis and microbial upcycling. For efficient enzymatic hy...

Recycling of construction waste is essential for sustainable cement-based materials, yet the variable composition of recycled autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) powder pose significant challenges when used in grouting app...

Plastic pollution has become a pressing global environmental challenge. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET), one of the most widely used synthetic polymers, represents a major contributor to this problem. The development of...

This study examines the effectiveness of public policies in promoting sustainable economic development within the framework of the green economy transition across the 27 European Union Member States from 2013 to 2023. ...

This comprehensive review examines the synergistic integration of climate mitigation strategies and circular economy (CE) principles as a pathway toward achieving global carbon neutrality. While traditional mitigation me...

Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), such as small/big home appliances, TVs, computers and smartphones, has turnedinto a significant and growing pollution issue. WEEE is a complex mixture of materials a...
