Food waste is a critical global problem linked to food insecurity, environmental degradation, and economic losses. Food waste occurs across the supply chain, with a considerable portion generated at the consumer level, i...

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 research was conducted in a company engaged in the production of cement bags which include pasted woven, pasted kraft, and sewn woven. Waste is still generated on the production floor throughout the pasted weaved ma...

Wastewater treatment plants(WWTPs) are confronted with challenges such as high energy consumption,significant carbon emissions, and resource wastage, which have become major bottlenecks limiting the sustainable developme...

This study examines the evolution of industrial waste generation within the Polish economy over the decade of 2010–2020. Rapid economic growth, structural shifts among sectors, and growing environmental awareness have ...

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...

Abstract Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) helps to reduce Nitrogen Oxide (NO) emissions from diesel engines using catalytic materials made of thermally stable non-precious metals. A dual support SCR catalyst using iro...

The settling column tests and the vacuum preloading model tests are performed on the waste slurry of a construction site in Shanghai and the additive agent slurry. The sediment and turbidity characteristics of slurries w...

Abstract The rapid adoption of AI is transforming industrial wastewater treatment by enabling real-time monitoring, predictive control, and operational optimization. Publications on the subject accelerated sharply betwee...

The sustainable utilization of post-consumer waste glass in concrete has emerged as a promising approach to reduce cement consumption, mitigate landfill disposal, and enhance material performance. However, most previous ...

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 ...

The pecan nutshell [Carya illinoinensis (Wangenh) C. Koch] (PNS) is a source of bioactives with important beneficial properties for the human health. PNS represents between 40–50 % of total mass of the nut, resulting ...

Routing vehicles is a generic decision-making problem of strategic management in any business serving customers in distributed locations with a limited fleet including municipal solid waste collection. This paper introdu...

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...

The acidic cleaning wastewater generated during printed circuit board(PCB) manufacturing contains copper ions(Cu2+) at concentrations of 2-6 g/L. The recovery of these copper ions holds significant importance for promoti...

Despite the growing number of interventions aimed at reducing household food waste (HFW), many remain overly generalised and fail to adequately account for the heterogeneous routines, motivations, and disposal contexts t...

A nitrogen-doped rice-husk pyrolysis material(NDK) was prepared to modify the surface of carbon paper,as a cathode catalyst of two-compartment MFC (Microbial Fuel Cell, MFC). The effects of NDK on Cr(Ⅵ) reduction and M...

Food waste (FW) in collective catering settings remains a critical barrier to sustainable food systems, due to its magnitude and multidimensional negative impacts. Food waste reduction and prevention measures are often d...

Abstract Substantial efforts have been made to modernize and decarbonize the waste collection industry. Smart sensor-based waste collection (SWC) systems have been developed to optimize collection routes based on the act...

Lead, which is one of the most important heavy metals, is a worldwide toxic pollutant. Adsorption is one of the methods used to study the removal of heavy metal ions from solutions, which encourages us to study the reduc...

The co-production of bio-char and upgraded bio-oil by fast pyrolysis of raw and sulfuric-acid pretreated agro-industrial wastes (corn cob, sugarcane bagasse and sunfower seed hull) was investigated to valorize wastes as ...

Combining densification with torrefaction can substantially improve fuel properties, including energy content, grindability, and hydrophobicity, enabling torrefied pellets to replace coal in pulverized fuel boilers. This...

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...

IntroductionThis study explores the systems-level dynamics of menu transformation in the hospitality and food service (HaFS) sector through participatory action learning (PAL) workshops with professional chefs. Framing t...
