Plastic waste is a significant environmental concern, constituting a major portion of the global waste stream. Improper disposal and accumulation have led to severe environmental challenges, including pollution, harm to ...

Plastic debris in the marine environment is widely documented, but the quantity of plastic entering the ocean from waste generated on land is unknown. By linking worldwide data on solid waste, population density, and eco...

Waste materials from agricultural and food packaging usage pose significant health and environmental challenges, where the main source of waste originates from plastics and protein-based amino acids, and their thermal de...

The Turkish Straits System (TSS) is a dangerous and narrow waterway extending between the Black Sea and the Aegean Sea, including the Bosphorus, the Dardanelles, and the Marmara Sea and the Gulf of Izmit. The western ban...

Disposable absorbent hygiene products, particularly diapers, are a major contributor to global plastic waste. Focusing on high-priority strategies within the EU's waste hierarchy, waste prevention and reuse, we examine t...

This study aims to determine the comparison of oil yields obtained from processing HDPE plastic waste by comparing quantitatively and qualitatively the fuel oil produced. The processing of plastic waste into oil by pyrol...

Current shampoo bottles are oversized, using more plastic than necessary. In order to promote plastic minimization, the aim of this work is to determine how much it is possible to reduce the thickness of current shampoo ...

Managing plastic waste is still a big environmental problem, especially in schools where students need to learn to care about the environment from a young age. This study investigates the execution of a zero waste-orient...

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...

Organic waste is currently causing a huge challenge for the planet. For many years, managing waste was mostly about dumping it in landfills. On the other hand, anaerobic digestion is now proving to be a good solution for...

Pujada Bay is a marine biodiversity hotspot in the Philippines and has been declared one of the most beautiful bays in the world. It was nominated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site as an extension of the Mt. Hamiguitan Ran...

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...

Microplastics are currently considered widespread marine pollutants, accumulating in sediments and shorelines around the world. Spatial distribution of microplastics in marine sediments is consequence of a combination of...

Abstract Proposed research presents a data-driven framework for forecasting municipal solid waste (MSW) generation and emission dynamics in Erode City, India, by employing supervised machine learning algorithms. Leveragi...

Plastic pollution is one of the most acute environmental topics of our time. While there is a great scientific effort to tackle this problem, it has not always been well-coordinated or properly targeted. In this short re...

Environmental pollution caused by non-biodegradable plastic waste has become a major global concern, prompting the development of eco-friendly alternative materials. Bioplastics derived from natural polymers are consider...

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...

Waste thin plastic wrap in the form of crackle plastic, aluminium coated plastic, other thin plastics, have not yet been widely utilized. Limited un-organic rubish collector willing to receive it. The price is also relat...

Abstract The massive production of plastics, together with inadequate waste management, has intensified the problem of plastic pollution. Recently, the scientific community has increasingly investigated the interactions ...

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...
