Nowadays, when battery-powered electric vehicles (EVs) travel along motorways, their drivers decide where to recharge their cars’ batteries with no or scarce information on the occupancy status of the next charging stations. While this may stil...

Microplastic pollution presents a significant and rising risk to both ecological integrity and the long-term viability of economic activities reliant on marine ecosystems. The Black Sea, a region sustaining economic sectors such as fisheries, tourism...

This study assesses the performance impact of lean construction practices in Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) projects in China. While lean methods have demonstrated substantial benefits in conventional construction, their implementat...

To reduce carbon emissions from fossil fuel generators in sustainable energy systems, an option is increasing the integration of gas-fired generators into the power system. The increasing reliance on natural gas for electricity generation has strengt...

Soy molasses, a byproduct of soy protein concentrate production, offers potential as a substrate for biotechnological applications due to its rich composition of carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and bioactive compounds. Despite this, it remains under...

Efficient identification and removal of low-grade minerals during graphite ore processing is essential for improving product quality, optimizing resource recovery, and promoting sustainable production. To address the limitations of traditional sortin...

Construction industry largely produces long-life, unique, and inflexible products; and combined with dispersed supply chains, it makes material tracking difficult. Thus, to achieve a circular economy (CE) in construction, there is a need for managing...

This study examines the establishment of a Hub for Circular Economy and Industrial Symbiosis (HUB-CEIS) centred on a forest biomass waste plant in Fundão, Portugal, presenting an innovative model for rural industrial symbiosis, circular econom...

To counter the consequences of climate change on both planetary and human health, a greater adoption of sustainable behaviors is required. In this context, two factors emerge as potentially crucial: Readiness to Change (RTC) and environmental sensiti...

This paper aims to provide a reliable basis for formulating, revising, and selecting sustainable marine economic development plans through a scientific and comprehensive evaluation of the eco-innovation level of China’s marine economy. Based on...
