Abstract This comprehensive review examines the application of life cycle assessment (LCA) in the leather industry, emphasizing its pivotal role in advancing circular economy integration. Through literature analysis and ...

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengintegrasikan pendekatan Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) dengan pengembangan agrowisata berbasis teknologi, guna mendorong pembangunan wisata kuliner berkelanjutan di Kabupaten Sumbawa Barat...

Life cycle assessment (LCA) is critical for credible climate decisions, although practice varies contextually. This review explains when to use attributional (ALCA) versus consequential (CLCA) LCAs, consolidating guidanc...

The environmental performance of vehicle electrification depends critically on the extent to which electric vehicles (EV) actually replace conventional vehicles (CV). Comparative life cycle assessment (LCA) studies typic...

Agriculture in Iran operates under acute water scarcity, climate stress, and reliance on input-intensive practices that amplify environmental pressures. This study presents the first long-term, spatially explicit life cy...

Abstract This study investigates a Persian gum-waste carpet fiber (PG-WCF) composite as a stabilizer for silty soil intended for landfill liner applications and compares its performance with the soil stabilized using ord...

Sailing yachts can achieve operationally zero-emission propulsion by integrating solar photovoltaic (PV), wind and hydrokinetic generation with battery-electric drive systems. This study applies a systems engineering mod...

Abstract The dual pressures of climate change and industrial water scarcity demand integrated solutions that jointly decarbonize power supply and reduce freshwater dependency. This study presents a site-specific, techno-...

The aim of this study is to determine the impact potential of land use on biotic production and climate regulation in the agricultural phase of a product, taking into account the varied soil and crop management. Land occ...

Social aspects are an integral part of sustainable building alongside environmental and economic aspects. While current Green Building Rating Systems such as LEED, BREEAM, and SBToolCZ address primarily technically quant...

In Argentina, there is an important potential to utilize organic waste to generate bioenergy. This work analyzes the environmental impacts and the energetic and economic requirements of the biogas produced by digesting t...

Abstract Background Schistosomiasis is a global health problem affecting 250 million people, with 90% in Sub-Saharan Africa. In Botswana, the burden is high in the Okavango delta because of the water channels. WHO recomm...

Abstract Rhipicephalus microplus is an ectoparasite responsible for causing economic losses in livestock farming totalling approximately $3.24 billion dollars per year. The main control method involves the use of chemica...

Agricultural production necessitates sustainable practices to ensure long-term and sustained food security. Water is a key ingredient for food production. Ensuring sustainable water management in agriculture is thus esse...

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...

This study examines the carbon footprints (CFs) of Spanish household food consumption in 2022, based on survey-based data. The results are assessed considering differences in food consumption patterns across socioeconomi...

Amid escalating global climate concerns, the reliance of the transportation sector on high-carbon fossil fuels urgently demands sustainable alternatives. Hydrogen has emerged as a potent solution because of its zero-emis...

Abstract The reliance on fossil-derived compounds in most conventional retanning agents faces a challenge to the sustainable development of the leather industry. Consequently, the development of environmentally friendly ...

Background: Food environments have substantial impacts on broader environmental sustainability. Studies have measured these impacts in public settings (education, health, recreation, retail) and private households. Howev...

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...

Abstract Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) transforms wet or dry biomass into hydrochar, generating a nutrient-rich process water, hereafter termed HTC-PW, which is often overlooked as waste. This review synthesizes curre...

Abstract Primary dysmenorrhea is defined asmenstrual pain in the absence of pelvic disease. It is characterized by overproduction of prostaglandins by the endometrium, causing uterine hypercontractility that results in u...

Reducing embodied carbon in the built environment requires reliable methods to assess structural materials, particularly steel, one of the most carbon-intensive. While environmental product declarations (EPDs) provide st...
